Ipsos Affluent Survey Europe 2015 results reaffirm cross-platform strength

LONDON — Bloomberg Media, has reinforced its position as the number one business media brand* in Europe with the results of this year’s annual Ipsos Affluent Survey Europe (formerly European Media & Marketing Survey or EMS), the industry benchmark and globally recognised advertising tool.

The results, out today, survey the top 13% of adult European consumers based on personal income. They demonstrate the high influence** and value of the Bloomberg Media audience, showing them to be 43% more influential than the average survey respondents, as well as collectively in command of €3.9 trillion of corporate spend.

The survey confirms Bloomberg Television as the business and financial television channel of choice for advertisers wishing to reach upmarket business professionals during the business day.***

The release of the European data also shows the strength of Bloomberg Media’s digital products. Bloomberg Media has the highest reach of high-net-worth individuals (€950k+ private investments excluding home/mortgage), C-suite officers, business decision makers and financial professionals in the competitive set.

As the number one business media brand in Europe, we can offer unique integrated campaigns for commercial partners wanting to engage elite business individuals and influencers during the most important times of the working day, something we are immensely proud of.”
