Come and get ‘emCome and get ‘emWho is The “Top Dogs Of Comedy” Consumer? 

The show is positioned to successfully deliver the urban‐minded young adult ages 25 – 34 and the secondary groups whomThe show is positioned to successfully deliver the urban minded young adult, ages 25 34 and the secondary groups whomthey influence. 30.1% earn $50,000 or more, and 13.6% earn $75,000+. The segment is composed primarily of educated,single, urban renters. It is a confident and independent group that doesn’t follow in the footsteps of earlier generations butmakes its own marks.

Psychographics: African‐American 25 – 34 are the first generation to grow up without legal segregation. However, they face other societal issues (AIDS, drugs, gang wars, racial profiling, divorce, reparations, corporate downsizing, and incarceration of African‐( , g , g g , p g, , p , p g,American males) which shape their music and social activism. Moreover, they are characterized as ambitious, independent, entrepreneurial and creative; they don’t follow in their parents’ footsteps; they are more inclined to be “trailblazers.” 

Additionally, this generation appreciates new/better/different approaches to life: 

•They value the Internet and other technologies. •They try to achieve a balance between work and family and personal freedom. Af i A i ll d t h “ ti l ” Hi H ti l l th ld hi h•African Americans generally do not have “generational money,” so many Hip‐Hoppers, particularly the older achievers who are 24‐34, are concerned with building a strong financial base, and they are more financially savvy than their predecessors. •They view education as the means to achieve career and financial goals. •They see entrepreneurship as the road to financial independence, job security, and empowerment for the African‐American community. •They are the first African‐American generation to reach middle class status in significant numbers. •Their accumulation of assets is a way to prove they’ve “made it” despite all the obstacles. •70% will pay more to get “the best.” p y g•They are more likely to respond to marketing which positively reflects their lifestyles. •They prefer to do business with “diversity friendly” companies and those that give back to the community. 

Implications: The target audience (AfAm 25‐34)is a large segment with growing affluence that marketers should address. The older patrons are a financially stable group with significant disposable income. This generation embraces new concepts and approaches, making it a prime target for new/improved products and services, particularly those that enhance lives. They are also a good target market for financial services and major purchases (homes, automobiles, etc.) given their focus on the building of wealth and the accumulation of material goods. Innovative approaches (including the Internet) that positively reflect their lifestyles will capture the attention of this generation.
