Affluent Media Engagement Continues to Rise; A Majority of Media Brands Saw Their Affluent Audiences Grow in 2016
New York, NY – Media use and interest in advertising among Affluent consumers continue to grow, even from already high levels, according to the Fall 2016 Ipsos Affluent Survey USA, the 40th annual version of which was released today. The Survey defines “Affluent” as adults living in households with at least $100,000 in annual household income, a group that reflects the top 25% of American households; Affluents have a median income of $146K, and a mean income of $221K. “Affluent use of digital and mobile media continues to rise, while their use of traditional media remains largely stable – resulting in a net increase in Affluent media audiences overall,” according to study Director and Chief Insights Officer Dr. Stephen Kraus.
