PROFILE OF THE STACK READER MEDIA KIT 2014
STACK is keenly read every month by JB Hi-Fi customers who collectively spend more than $3 billion annually. This core 18-35 demographic are adapting and avid viewers, listeners and gamers.
Our DVD and Blu-ray fans enjoy the latest blockbusters but also have an enduring interest in the screen gems and cult classics of yesteryear, and are loyal collectors of TV shows.
Our lovers of music, new and old alike, appreciate JB Hi-Fi’s extensive range of artists, promotions, packaging and exclusives which also tap into the hottest national tours.
Our most enthusiastic gamers either secure a copy of their anticipated titles through pre-orders, or rush into the nearest JB Hi-Fi store on the release date of their favourite games.
JB Hi-Fi customers are empowered: With game-changing, robust HD equipment and the best in digital cameras, the JB Hi-Fi customer is able to make content for friends - and the world. And with music equipment now in store at JB, there’s no stopping them.
And they’re riders on the wave of technology: JB Hi-Fi shoppers are keen to engage with the very latest digital services. And they like to mix and match - tablets and smartphones, laptops, high-quality headphones... it’s all an extension of their plugged-in personality.
And ultimately, they simply just want to be entertained - whether it’s via their JB Hi-Fi purchases, or the STACK network in print and online.
