What Matters To Our Audience

It’s easy to think of an audience in terms of statistics. 55% female, 45% male, between the ages of 24 and 60, who exhibit X list of online behaviors … Defining the attributes of that audience is often easy to do for marketers. But that audience is, at its core, a group of people that care about the same or similar things. That audience wants information on topics you care about.

that audience cares about safety and proven technology, a successful track record for the dealer, and great customer service.

that audience cares that the destination will fulfill the kinds of experiences they’ve been dreaming about.

they care about which candidate aligns with the issues that touch their lives or those they love.

In late 2019, a content series featuring mental health issues in Michigan generated almost 262,000 unique users that were interested in the content—spending an average of 5 minutes with it.  In 2019, an average monthly readership of 605,000 spent time with climate change and environmental topics on MLive.com.

But this audience is made of conservatives and liberals. It’s made of those that might consider themselves “political junkies” and others that shy away from deep engagement in legislation. It comprises a group that cares deeply about national and state races, and most certainly undecideds. Regardless of their affinity or leaning, they visit MLive.com.
