Consumer Dimensions 2024 is an exciting new annual report that examines how advertising reaches American consumers and profiles their changing demographic makeup.
Consumer Dimensions is divided into two chapters. Chapter One: How Advertising Works explores how ads work, how much time consumers devote to them, the realities of attentiveness, the effects of frequency, mindset targeting and ad-relevant cross-platform metrics. Chapter Two: Profiling the U.S. Population provides an extensive portrait of the changing demographics of the American consumer: the aging of America, how the work force has changed over the years, the racial/ethnic makeup of the population, and many other variables that have a bearing on how marketers define their targets. Many tables include long term trending and projections to provide a complete picture.

Over the years, Media Dynamics Inc. has been fighting the battle to include attentiveness in the media audience surveys, and in our thinking. More than ever before the role of attentiveness measures to obtain a realistic picture of audience attainment as a prelude to advertising impact is a dire necessity. Our media world is changing and we need to change with it. Business as usual just doesn't cut it any more.
With that in mind, this report briefly traces the evolution of TV attentiveness research, evaluates the current situation and looks to the future. We conclude with a call for a new kind of national TV rating service and an idea that might break the current log jam that is preventing the mass use of attentiveness in media planning, TV time buying and selling, and other equally important applications.
