“Advertisers and agencies want as immediate and granular data as possible about magazine audiences,” MRI’s president and CEO Kathi Love said in a statement. “We are pleased to be able to accommodate those needs within the confines of quality research techniques.”
MRI surveys 260,000 U.S. adults annually for its Issue Specific Readership Study, which supplements the Survey of the American Consumer that is released two times annually. Advertisers use the data to measure the reach of a specific magazine ad campaign against certain demographic targets, including age, education level, gender and income.
