A new report from eMarketer, Gen X: Demographic Profile and Marketing Approaches, has found that Gen X members are as comfortable with digital as with traditional media. From a marketing perspective, heavy users of digital services also watch more TV than any other age segment.

The influence of the advertiser-revered Generation X of 34- to 45-year-old consumers has been revealed to extend to both traditional TV and digital media, especially online video. The market research firm advises that while no brand should leave TV out of the media mix when targeting these consumers, who are in the prime of their earning and spending potential, a brand would also be wise to include online video for which Gen X constitutes the largest audience.
