WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: 2 June 2014 — JD Power and Nielsen announced today a collaboration that will link auto purchase behavior to consumer insights, allowing automakers to study automotive purchasing behavior within Nielsen consumer segments. Nielsen assigns every U.S. household to one of 66 consumer segments based on demographics, lifestyle, media and consumption behavior. The collaboration will allow automakers and their advertisers to better understand their performance within various consumer segments.
By linking auto purchase behavior from the Power Information Network® (PIN) from JD Power, which collects new- and used-vehicle retail transaction data daily from thousands of automotive franchises, to Nielsen PRIZM consumer segmentation, advertisers can tie together marketing activities across TV, radio, online and mobile channels and measure performance based on market share in near real-time.
“This is a new way for OEMs and advertisers to better understand who is purchasing their products, learn more about consumers’ lifestyles and preferences, communicate with the right consumers and ultimately achieve better advertising ROI,” said Steve Mehnert, senior client director, Nielsen Automotive.
Nielsen and JD Power’s collaboration will enable advertisers to promote the right product in the right place with the confidence they will be able to measure the success of their marketing and advertising campaigns within specific consumer groups.
“Linking brand and model market share to consumer segments will enable marketers to gain deeper insights about their current performance and target their best opportunities for growth in the future,” said Deirdre Borrego, vice president and general manager of the U.S. automotive division at JD Power. “We are enthusiastic to bring together Nielsen’s consumer segmentation with JD Power’s timely market intelligence to provide our clients with a comprehensive view of the automotive consumer.”
