Create at least two additional audience segments for different demographics of your choice. Identify your key demographics (e.g women 65+ / males 18-25) and indicate what percentage of the total audience each segment comprises.
Provide a summary report for each of ‘Audience,’ ‘Acquisition’ and ‘Behaviour’ to compare these segments, focusing on the key insights and data that you consider to be the most relevant and interesting.
How might these insights be used to encourage extra traffic to, or engagement on the site? For example, you may wish to consider the content that is popular with different segments, where those segments are coming from etc.Provide exported PDFs for each set of data you are analysing.
