Consumer Segmentation Analysis: Zombie Movies Audience

In the cinematic universe, many genres have specific audiences, and you can tell what type of person someone is by just asking their favorite movies. When it comes to Zombie movies, it is hard to understand, and we can't relate to what type of personality that person has. So, we wanted to dive deep into this vague topic.

As a start, we had three primary questions for analyzing and segmenting the zombie movies audience:

  • Who is watching it?
  • Why are they watching it?
  • How do they feel when they watch it?

The Methodology

Kimola's Social Research Platform gathers conversations, segments them, and after the segmentation, our AI profiles the groups to see their demographics and lifestyle.

We gathered 1266 Conversations about Zombie Movies in 1 week, and we chose %43 of the conversations to segment them. After collecting the conversations and segmenting them, we profiled the segments separately. Check our consumer segmentation analysis below!

Results

The results of the consumer segmentation didn't surprise us a lot, but there is one segment that warmed our hearts and put some tears on our cheeks.

1- Realists: Feeling Angry

Young Adult Females who are mad about everything around them.
