Introduction
The Meerkat Media Collective is a dedicated group of independent artists that are actively working on projects (individually or collaboratively) and are supported by the collective resources, based in our work space in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Residents provide mutual aid for one another’s projects and artistic development, receive a monetary stipend determined through an annual budgeting process, have access to production and post-production equipment, and attend an annual creative retreat.
Television
Our advertising televisions channels entail a wide range of cable television channels. Some of our target televisions include; 7HD Sydney, Racing.com, SBS NSW, 7TWO Sydney among to the stations. Therefore, it is vital that was advertised on various genres of television to make sure that the target audience of Meerkat is reached. Our targets have different takes of programs to watch. Some of them love watching movies, other reality television shows, and some music. Therefore, our main focus is to reach all of them effectively. Most importantly, these stations will be chosen to rely on their stable bases as well as high indices. Although, we need to go beyond just index numbers as well as the though regarding why the target audience is watching these channels. In fact, there are other channels also do have high indices, but it is essential that we reach every person and not just partition our advertisements only on the basis of indices alone. Our target audience is adults, so apparently, we will avoid television channels that are meant for kids programs. Priority will be placed on televisions channels that are more focused on the adult audience and also channels that are centered on innovation and business.
