Leading media operator APN Outdoor is following up last year’s ground-breaking Attention Economy study – which investigated the way people move, think, feel and respond to outdoor advertising – with the launch this week of a series of advertiser category studies.
The new insights are designed to provide APN Outdoor’s clients with relevant and targeted information to use in the media planning process. Featured categories of the study include: Alcohol, Automotive, Entertainment, Finance, FMCG, Quick Service Restaurants, Telecommunications and Travel.
APN Outdoor has examined each advertiser category by considering it in relation to consumer purchase and behaviour habits as well as audience demographics including gender, age, income and occupation.
The study also identifies how advertisers can reach and impact consumers of each category by identifying the related outdoor media opportunities. This aspect of the study looks at commuter habits and the key window where consumer engagement is at its highest. It also covers time spent with outdoor versus other mediums and the most effective outdoor formats – such as large format digital and roadside billboards as well as internal and external Airport media – to reach consumers of each specific category.
Top-level findings from the study
- 13% of New Zealanders drink at least one standard serving premixed spirit a week
- 23% of New Zealanders intend to buy/lease a new car in the next 12 months
- 55% of New Zealanders have been to the cinema at least once in the past few months
