Demographics and Psychographics

1) How do media companies classify potential audiences for their products?

Media companies use demographics to classify their target audience. They look at people's age, gender, education, social class, race, ethnicity, job and area. This helps companies understand who is most likely to buy or watch their products and how much to sell to a specific place.

2) What are the seven different psychographic groups that Young and Rubicam use?

The seven psychographic groups are:

  1. Mainstreamers

  2. Aspirers

  3. Succeeders

  4. Reformers

  5. Explorers

  6. Strugglers

  7. Resigned

3) What psychographic group or groups do YOU belong in?

I think I belong to the Aspirers and Mainstreamers groups. This is because I come from a fairly wealthy background and enjoy having nice things, following trends and buying popular brands. However, I am still young, so I also enjoy spending time with friends, keeping up with what's popular and enjoying entertainment. I like watching tv shows and reality shows and watching influencers so i like to copy and be in the trends they set and make.
