Who is in this audience?

About this audience

No single company size dominates: the 1 to 5 employee band is largest at 20 percent, the 100 to 199 employee band follows at 12 percent, then the 1,500 to 4,999 employee band at 11 percent. The 1 to 5 employee band is over-represented: 20 percent here against 14 percent across the database. The spread is similar by job function: General management is largest at 23 percent, Sales follows at 11 percent, then HR at 10 percent. HR is over-represented: 10 percent here against 4.3 percent across the database. Two groups lead by region: London at 39 percent and South East at 15 percent. London is over-represented: 39 percent here against 33 percent across the database. The three largest are London, South East and East of England, together 62 percent of contacts.

92,005 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 120,295 (73 percent) have a telephone number held, in line with the database figure of 72 percent. Every telephone number is screened against the TPS and CTPS each night through a licensed screening service, and carries its status and the date of that screen. We treat a screen as valid for 28 days, our own rule rather than the ICO's. Screen the numbers you are supplied yourself before calling, and again every 28 days.

This count uses one filter. The industry filter uses the SIC 2007 section (section N), and a company counts when any of its codes falls in the section. It covers named business emails at active UK companies. Individual subscribers, meaning sole traders and ordinary partnerships, are excluded by default. Emailmovers relies on legitimate interests under UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f) for named business contacts.

How we count explains title matching, places and rounding. The trust page lists sources, sub-processors and the legal basis.
