21. A quick look at our segmentation

22. A Social Media Segmentation
We developed a segmentation to gain a
deeper understanding of different types
of social media usage
• Cluster Criteria:
– Social Media Tenure & Frequency
– Social Media Activities
– Relationship with brands on social media
– General attitudes toward social media
• Using the cluster criteria above, a segmentation was run on social media users,
ages 18 and up, creating four key segments: Fanatics, Virtual Voyeurs, Taking Care
of Business, and Late to the Party.
• For additional insight into the younger social media users, we bundled results
from Teens demographic, ages 13-17, and reported on this group separately from
the segmentation scheme.

Q. Have you heard of the following sites? 24

25. Fanatics “I think any brand not
taking part in social
media is going to lose.”
“I don’t think I would be where I am right
now without social media.”
I am enthusiastic and engaged with social media. I am heavily involved in all social media activities and visit social
media sites frequently. I use Facebook and Twitter most often. I feel social media has had a significant impact on
my life. I consider myself an influencer in terms of staying ahead of the times and like the fact that social media
provides me with an outlet to voice my opinion and new ideas.
Social media is fulfilling a need for the spotlight:
• 92% say that they are interested in
Heavy media users: 1 in 3 are online
requests for their opinions & ideas. for 30+ hours per week
They are the youngest:
2 in 3 are under 34
Most likely to be single
Their enthusiasm isn’t waning … only 2% of
them say they are using Facebook less today
than they were 6 months ago. 25

26. “Obviously, there’s something wrong with
Virtual Voyeurs me. I don’t have anything worth sharing with
them. Other than posting this column now
and then, I am mute. A voyeur, of sorts. A
lurker in the cyber shadows.” - Craig Wilson, USA Today
“I go to social media pages when someone
sends me a message, but otherwise I kind of
forget it exists.”
I use social media to stay connected to friends/family. I don’t really consider myself an influencer per se but I like
to see what others are saying online and so I read other people’s status and blog updates though don’t really write
my own. I don’t necessarily feel more informed about news or event since I have joined social media sites but I
enjoy it nonetheless.
While they are not contributing, 82%
85% have never written a are going more than once a day to social
networks. They are very active.

reason for being on these sites is to keep

are feeding the system…watching
more than contributing

27. Taking Care of
Business “It's the main way I keep in touch with
friends, locally and away from home. It's
also how I find out about events in the
area.”
I am engaged with social media but I am not as enthusiastic as when I first joined. I have been participating in
social media for a while and make sure to update my status often. I bank online and use LinkedIn a lot as well.
Since using social media, I am a little more concerned with information security.
Have a high income Early adopters; case in point - their Facebook duration –
41% have been there over a year (more than segment 3)
Tend to use social media in a more
practical way
More middle age
Most likely to visit LinkedIn
27

28. Late to the “Social media scares me … it’s a little
Party more information than I need to know.”
“I finally caved in and joined Facebook
last month…it’s so much fun to find old
friends from high school.”
I am pretty new to social media. I still like to read paper and magazines in print format but figured with all
the buzz around social media I should probably join to check it out. I recently joined Facebook. I don’t feel social
media has changed my life very much but it does allow me to feel more connected to distant family members and
old acquaintances.
The oldest group, with about
Highest income (41% make $75k or more) half over the age of 45
Don’t appear to be terribly tech savvy
They don’t update their status
This is the group that uses magazines the most Been there less than 6 months
28

29. “It's a lot easier to know what's going on in your
Teens friends' lives, even if you don't talk to them often.
But, it's superficial . You aren't actually
communicating with them, it's more like
occasionally stalking them. I prefer to talk to
someone directly to know what's happening in their
life and how they feel about it.”
“I never pay attention to *brands on social
media+. I only use the sites for social reasons.”
I am new to social media – of course, this is not because I am "late to the party.” I use social media for many
activities, but mostly for playing games and watching videos. I’m only on to keep in touch with my friends – I don’t
really care about news networks or brands. These sites are highly entertaining and allow me to express my
creative side.
Most likely to be on MySpace
Find Social Media extremely entertaining – 83%
play games on social media sites and 51%
upload video.
