Advertisers are missing out on reaching this previously untargetable audience.
“There is a huge opportunity for marketers right now in eSports. This passion point has an audience of incredibly engaged fans, many of which (for millennials and gen Z in particular) can be challenging to reach through traditional media channels.”
Many people wrongly believe that eSports viewers make an undesirable target market.
In reality, recent research by Mindshare NA found that eSports fans are quite the diverse group:
- 65% of fans are millennials (18 - 34 years old)
- Women comprise 38% of the eSports fanbase
- 60% of the fanbase is between 25 and 39 years old
The income demographics are even more fascinating:
- 43% of fans have a yearly household income of above $73,000
- 31% of those in the fanbase have a household income of $90,000 or higher per year
If you need even more proof, refer to this article in Adweek:
“And the crowds are living online. For many brands, esports may feel like uncharted territory, but savvy marketers are taking advantage of the chance to reach such an engaged audience at scale.”
