Today In Communication History
On this date in 1938, television station W2XBS in New York broadcasts a book review programme.
NOTE: We have entered a new era in screen ratings. Nielsen is expanding its sample of TV viewers to include new
homes with meters that record the channel being watched—but not the demographics of the people watching. That will be estimated using data modeling and an algorithm Nielsen has developed, and added to the current sample that does include people meters that measure demos. The Panel Expansion (NPX), in which 12,900 households have been added to the national sample, is at the center of this change. The household ratings in these homes are measured by meters on each television in the home, while the demographic ratings in these homes will be assigned by Nielsen using a statistical algorithm. This is the first time since 1987 that homes in the national sample are not equipped with PeopleMeters, which measure both the program viewed and the people watching it.
So?
He said it first….’Television’.
In 1900, the term ‘television’ is coined by Constantin Perskyi at the International Electricity Congress, part of the 1900 Paris Exhibition.
Quote Of The Day
‘C-Span…the #1 network among people who died watching tv and no one’s found them yet.’
Larry Wilmore at the 2016 White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.
Social Media Notes
YouTube Launches Six-Second Ad Format
Bumper format pitched as ideal, unskippable solution for mobile-first audiences.
YouTube‘s pre-roll ads present a mathematical quandary to advertisers: allow viewers to skip their ad after five seconds while hoping that they’ll entice them to stick around longer with solid creative, or risk annoying them with an unskippable ad? YouTube’s new unskippable six-second “Bumper” ads add a new factor to that equation, writes Jeromy Lloyd in Marketingmag.ca.
The new format is sold through Google’s AdWords on a CPM basis. In a blog post on the AdWords blog, video ad product manager Zach Lupei wrote that the format is “ideal for driving incremental reach and frequency, especially on mobile, where ‘snackable videos’ perform well. “Given the succinct nature of the format, we’ve seen Bumper ads work best when combined with a TrueView or Google Preferred campaign.” Lupei wrote. “In early tests, Bumpers drove strong lift in upper funnel metrics like recall, awareness and consideration. We also see that Bumpers work well to drive incremental reach and frequency when paired with a TrueView campaign.”
The company is pointing to a few early adopters such as Atlantic records and Audi, which base campaigns on longer videos, but extend reach through shorter cuts of that material. Audi, for example, is currently running a 45-second TrueView ad (a format that can be made skippable or placed mid-video) with shorter four-second Bumpers supporting it.
Marketing Research
How Many Millennials Are There in the US, Anyway?
Marketers tend to focus a lot of energy on Millennials. Their lives are deconstructed on many different levels, and there’s research to be found on anything ranging from their top financial goals to the ways in which they use their phones. Those analyses are all helpful in their own right, but how many of these prized individuals are there in the US? The latest data out from the Census Bureau gives a sense of how large this coveted generation is.
As in much of marketing, there are a few problems to take note of. First, there is no consensus definition of a Millennial; while 18-34 seems to be the most commonly used bracket (and one which doesn’t appear to change with each passing year!), other studies might use an 18-29 range or some other, making it necessary to identify age ranges when referring to this cohort. That’s why Pew Research’s declaration that there are now more Millennials than Baby Boomers makes sense in some light, but not in others.
It is also worth noting that most Millennials don’t even identify as Millennials, and a young Gen Xer might feel more culturally similar to Gen Y. In other words, cultural and behavioral tendencies don’t tend to have fixed age breaks. (That’s why many argue that it’s more useful to look at personas rather than age brackets.)
Nevertheless, things being the way they are, marketers and researchers often look at age groups. So here’s a reference list of some commonly used age brackets and their corresponding population estimates and population shares as of July 1st, 2015.
12-17: 25 million (7.8%)
18-24: 31.2 million (9.7%)
25-34: 44.1 million (13.7%)
35-44: 40.6 million (12.6%)
45-54: 43.2 million (13.4%)
55-64: 40.9 million (12.7%)
65-74: 27.6 million (8.6%)
75+: 20.2 million (6.3%)
Some other popular age groups, including the ever-present 18-34 bracket:
18-29: 53.7 million (16.7%)
18-34: 75.4 million (23.4%)
18-49: 136.8 million (42.6%)
35-49: 61.4 million (19.1%)
50-64: 63.2 million (19.7%)
51-68: 72.3 million (22.5%)
55+: 88.6 million (27.6%)
65+: 47.8 million (14.9%)
A couple of other facts:
As of July 1st last year, there were an estimated 76,974 centenarians (100+) in the US. Some 61,886, or about 80%, of them were female; and
There were more males than females for each single year of age from newborn through age 35, but then more females than males for each single year of age from 36 on. The biggest disparity in favor of males was for 22-year-olds (133,920 more), while for females it was for 85-year-olds (208,259 more).
US Millennials Shift Preference From Spending to Saving Money
Almost two-thirds of 18-29-year-olds in the US prefer saving money (66%) as opposed to spending (33%) it, based on a Gallup review of surveys conducted from 2014 through 2016. That represents a significant change from the 2001-2006 period, when an average of 54% of Millennials reported a preference for spending as opposed to saving (43%).
The increasing preference for saving over spending is seen with other age groups, also, although older Americans were less likely to prefer spending in the first place.
Separately, 38% of adults surveyed said they have been spending less in recent months, compared to 28% who reported spending more. Interestingly, those spending more tend to feel that it’s a temporary change, while those spending less have a tendency to feel that this will be a permanent change.
