6% of Prime members / 11.1% of PV Loyals (YouGov)
Profile Summary

How We Keep Them – Considerations & Hooks
Although this group is often aware of the latest TV shows, their trendloving mindset combined with their tendency to converse about what they watch means that they might easily move onto the next title if they see that there’s not enough reception around what they’re currently streaming.
As they watch television for the rush and excitement, titles from the Thriller, Horror, and Action categories will naturally keep this group's engagement. For other genres however, effective creating and keeping buzz around titles will be important in capturing their short attention span Avid social media users, they’re on content heavy platforms like TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, Snapchat, and Instagram, and are receptive to influencers and celebrities Focusing advertisements on these platforms showcasing popular actors/actresses among their peers will create titles talked about at every corner that fuel their “can't-miss” attitude.
