What makes people working in the advertising/media/marketing business stand out from the crowd?
Adland v TV Viewers
150 people from the advertising/media/marketing industry told us about their lives – we call them “Adlanders” ……. Here’s what we found out……..
• Adlanders are unique in many different ways• Everyday life• Attitudes• Technology• TV Viewing
According to the IAPI Industry Census 2013 the average age of someone working in advertising is 35 so where appropriate we compared the answers within age groups and Dublin.
Almost ½ of Adlanders live in a 2 person home.
Everyday Life
Contrary to the rest of the population most Adlanders leave for work between 8 and 8.30 each morning.
Everyday Life
Again proving their uniqueness Adlander’s travel time is between 30 and 45 mins daily.

Adlanders are far more likely to travel to work via public transport than the rest of the population – even their fellow Dubliners.
They are also more likely to walk or cycle.
Everyday Life
Superquinn does exceptionally well with Adlanders
Everyday Life
Adlanders are more impulsive than TV viewers – even younger TV viewers.
Attitudes
Adlanders are optimistic & career focused.

When it comes to activities Adlanders are far more likely to go to museums and galleries and also more likely to go to the gym.
