In addition to having a desirable target demographic for advertisers, Nielsen also concluded that 86 percent of those interviewed were aware of Buzztime screens. These viewers demonstrated high ad awareness with over 50 percent recalling(1) an NFL Network advertisement on Buzztime screens during their stay.

Nielsen also documented that Buzztime players are 66 percent male and 34 percent female with an average annual income of $69,855. The audience had a dwell time of nearly one hour per visit (59.3 minutes) and 59 percent of the respondents visited the same location three or more times during the previous four weeks.

"The Nielsen results support the value of the Buzztime Network to both advertisers and venue owners," said Tim Nichols, Senior Director of Business Intelligence and Product Management. "Based on these findings, we are now able to quantify and demonstrate the value of our Buzztime audience."

Mr. Nichols further stated that, "Buzztime is a unique platform for advertisers to reach their target audience in a setting where they are engaged with our games and open to receiving advertising messages. We believe Buzztime’s reach in the out-of-home market among the 21-49 year olds is exactly what advertisers are seeking."

Nielsen’s Strategic Media Research fielded intercept interviews for a sample of dates and day-parts across Buzztime-installed locations. Interviewing took place in 47 locations across two measurement intervals: December 11-15, 2007 (5 days) and February 25-March 16, 2008 (21 days). Dayparts consisted of 5 hours each, from 5-10pm. Interviews were completed with 788 visitors 18+ yrs. old as they exited the site.
