Who are Europe’s Super Influencers?
Meet the Uploaders, Europe’s most important influencers. They post comments on websites, share their opinion on social media, review products online and they are among the top 13% income group. These factors make the Uploaders incredibly valuable for marketers. Who are they? The answer might surprise you.
There are 8.6 million Affluent Uploaders* in Europe**. Their active online behaviour might trick you into thinking Uploaders are mainly Millennials, but the opposite is true – 7 out of 10 Uploaders are non-millennials.
These elite online influencers like to keep themselves informed. They are not only heavy online contributors and users; they also consume more (international) media via TV and Print than non-uploaders. Uploaders like to keep in touch with the world by getting inspired by other cultures. Uploaders make twice as many international air trips (4 international air trips in the past 12 months) as the non-uploaders (2 international air trips in the past 12 months).
