Who’s Your Audience? On the Go Edition

3 Min Read

You’re probably wondering what this rather nebulous audience segment could possibly mean. Could it be travel? Or a busy commuter? Or how brands can reach viewers in this (not-so) new normal? Why not all three? We covered this (well, one part) recently with a blog post that shares seven audience segments that travel brands should be targeting. However, as we all know, travel is back with a vengeance and as consumers’ lives get busier (like having to return to the office), it’s getting that much harder to catch consumers at the right place and time. Luckily, Connected TV advertising platforms like MNTN do all of the hard work by automating what would be a rather tedious and manual process, and finding your audiences where they are based on the content they like to consume. Audience segments on MNTN Performance TV are full of hidden gems, if you know where to look (and you know, hack the keyword searches).
