3.  What is Media Audience Research?  The Common Currency  Joint Industry Committees (JICs)  All Media and Products Survey (AMPS)  Pan African Media Research Organization  Factors Inhibiting Media Audience Research  Strengthening Local Capacities 3

4. It is the study of all aspects of media audiences – their characteristics as well as their sizes This may include aspects such as demographics, media platforms, consumption of products, brands and services, activities, attitudes, interests, life styles, lifestages, LSM’s, technographics and psychographics 4

5.  As the name indicates, both the buying and the selling side use the same (common) currency and thus it provides an orderly trading environment  It is an independent, credible measure of audiences accepted by all (Buy-in)  It provides comparable data to buyers of media space and time  It provides an even playing field for individual media  It provides competitor intelligence  It is a necessary condition for media freedom  Billions of Advertising spend change hands based on generally accepted information  However, it does not take the place of own research 5

6. A Joint Industry Committee is an industry body where the three main stakeholders, namely the Advertisers, Advertising and Media Agencies, & Media Owners have equal status. It is created with the sole purpose of jointly Managing and Controlling the currency research required to provide the industry with trading currencies for the buying and selling of media space and time An independent media ratings service is a cornerstone for a free, functioning, profitable media industry and exists in many countries with a diverse liberalized media sector, e.g., here in Europe, the agma, CIM, CESP, WEMF, AIMC, NOM, Media-Analysen but also accross the world, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, etc.) 6

11.  Multivariate segmentation tool  It is based on access to services and durables, and geographic indicators as determinants of standard of living (proxies for wealth)  LSM ® is a stable and dependable differentiator and the AMPS variables are particularly suited to this  Approximately 100 AMPS ® variables selected on logical grounds  Analysed multi-dimensionally by applying: − principle component analysis − stepwise regression analysis 11

24. Factors Inhibiting Media Audience Research 1. National Census Data 2. Funding/Cost of Currency Research/ Sustainability 3. Industry Organization 4. Infrastructure (Roads, Internet, etc.) 5. Access to Media 6. Knowledge of Audience Research 7. Lack of knowledge of statistics and the use of sample survey data (unrealistic expectations) 8. Insufficient User Involvement 9. Small Users – data affordability 24

25.  The single biggest problem is funding  Catch-22  Kick-start is needed  AMPS studies are ideally suited for the inclusion of development questions  It could be a win-win situation if currency surveys can be used to address development needs as well  Training in Media Audience Research  Infrastructure Strengthening Local Capacities 25
