Target Audience for Specific Commercials In Your Area
    #5482407 - 04/05/06 11:08 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

The Tahoe thread reminded me I wanted to make a post about this. I remember years back commercials were mostly whites. Occasionally there'd be a token black, but not too often. Now it is reversed. Mostly black, with the occasional token white.

I am curious as to whether this is a local thing(I think so), or a national thing. Do they change the aim based on changing local demographics, or are the companies going national with their "urbanization"?

So, I am asking all of you to pay a little attention when the commercials come on and report back your findings.

First up, Chevy Tahoe. Here it's a bunch of scenes of blacks riding around, smiling, and just generally hip-hoping it up in a seemingly pleasant manner. How do they push this product in your area?

I forgot to ask, has anyone else noticed similar changes in their area? If so, discuss.

its starting to become a national thing because of the growing populations of particular races, mainly black, hispanic and asian. marketers can make more money marketing to them, then they can marketing to caucasians.
