Company Spotlight: Reaching Elite Consumers with Financial Times

Financial Times Advertising

Media buyers representing global brands whose target consumer profile is defined partially or in whole by high household income (HHI) are met with placement challenges. One in particular is the number of out-of-home (OOH) advertising options that meet the demographic requirements of their clients. Identifying advertising vehicles that connect with consumers in the $75,000+ HHI shrinks the number of companies that can receive RFPs for global brands that have strong ties to affluent products and lifestyles. Advertising with the Financial Times delivers brand messaging to a readership group that has an average HHI of $366K and average net worth of $2.9M.

According to the 2011 Mendelsohn Affluent Survey, readers of the Financial Times are in more C-suite executive positions, have a higher household income, are more likely to buy a car or home, spend more on apparel and accessories, and make more luxury expenditures than readers of:

  • The Economist
  • New York Times
  • Fortune
  • Wall Street Journal
  • Bloomberg Businessweek
  • Forbes
  • USA Today
The full Mendelsohn Survey Financial Times is available for download here and in the Media Kit/Support Files section of the Financial Times company profile on DOmedia. The Financial Times is sponsoring 16 globally relevant events in 2012. The full list is available for review in their DOmedia profiles. One event series is sponsorship opportunities on the Formula1 Racing Circuit. Formula1’s partnership with the Financial Times delivers the largest audience and potential impressions of all sponsorship events scheduled in 2012. Below are details on the multiple options available to advertise at Formula 1 Events.
