Audience Profiles

Scarborough Research provides insights into the shopping patterns, lifestyles, media habits, and demographics of today’s consumers. Information about people who have tuned in to online radio or video in the past month is available for nearly all of Scarborough’s categories, including brand-level data. This information is vital for media planners who want to reach a specific audience.

The profile of a typical online radio or video user is a white male, age 25-34, who attended college and owns his own home.

He’s a professional making $75,000+ per year and has taken more than 10 round-trip business flights in the past year. He also participated in the computer hardware/software purchasing decisions in his company.

During his leisure time, the typical online radio or video user shops at Best Buy, visits Starbucks and enjoys an imported beer.
