Who’s Your Audience? – New Year’s Resolution Edition

3 Min Read

Who said New Year’s resolutions were only limited to fitness, health, money and career? We’re challenging advertisers to explore resolutions for their brand in the new year, and switching up their audience targeting is one low hanging fruit that can reap major results (among others. Check out this read for more ideas). Of course, if you want to talk about rehauling your strategy with minimum effort (or…with Maximum Effort) in 2022, there’s our newly launched CaaS™ offering, which is transforming advertising and the way marketers approach their creative and media buying, by throwing out old creative dynamics and giving marketers easy access to produce great TV creative without investing in anything but their media goals. Watch this space for more to come on this new development.

If you needed another reason to bring out the New Year’s resolution checklist for your brand, let this one be it. A New Year’s Financial Resolutions study conducted by Fidelity Investments’ revealed that those who made resolutions at the start of 2021 were more optimistic about the future than those who didn’t. Eighty-one percent of survey respondents who made resolutions say they will be better off financially in 2022, compared to 58% who didn’t. Need we say more? So, in true performance marketing fashion, let’s get this show on the road. Below are a few targeting segments that you can apply to your advertising campaigns to reach those 2022 goal-diggers. You can access these audiences and more through MNTN Performance TV’s partnership with LiveRamp and other data providers. From the MNTN team, we wish you all a successful new year.
