StatSocial’s Digital Tribes is a new consumer segmentation model with a social psychographic twist.
Digital Tribes are powered by StatSocial’s Silhouette, the industry’s most advanced Audience Intelligence Platform. Our unique technology enables us to make sense of the billions of unstructured earned and social web interactions that go on each day — allowing you to dive deep into nearly any audience you can imagine.
Using billions of inputs for over 120 million U.S. consumers, we have segmented naturally occurring populations into 100 distinct Digital Tribes.
This entry is a deeper dive into the tribe we call “Gamers Not Lamers.”
Digital Tribe Summary: Gamers Not Lamers
This is a still from the 1989 film, ‘The Wizard.’ This flick marked the first time that most North American youngsters caught a glimpse of the then hotly anticipated, now all-time classic, ‘Super Mario Bros. 3.’ This tribe mostly resides in the distant suburbs and country, and skews decidedly male, and under 34-years of age.
They are united by their affinities for gaming, esports, consoles, tech, and gaming news media.
Please Note: The baseline used to calculate all of the statistics shown below is the average American online audience.
