Who is in this audience?
Three breakdowns of the 9,080 contacts, from the same count, each chosen because it differs from the database as a whole. A cell under 10 reads "under 10", and a withheld cell is held back so a smaller cell cannot be worked out from the others.

About this audience
No single county or borough dominates: Westminster is largest at 21 percent, City of London follows at 19 percent, then Camden at 8.1 percent. Two groups lead by job level: Owner at 46 percent and Director at 41 percent. Owner is over-represented: 46 percent here against 13 percent across the database. The spread is similar by company size: the 1 to 5 employee band is largest at 19 percent, the 100 to 199 employee band follows at 17 percent, then the 200 to 349 employee band at 12 percent. The 100 to 199 employee band is over-represented: 17 percent here against 10 percent across the database. The three largest are Westminster, City of London and Camden, together 49 percent of contacts.
4,130 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 6,305 (69 percent) have a telephone number held, below 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 combines two filters. The job role filter maps written titles to one role through the Emailmovers title dictionary, so variants of a title count together. The region filter comes from the ONS Postcode Directory. It covers named business emails at active UK companies. Individual subscribers, meaning sole traders and ordinary partnerships, are excluded by default, which leaves out 5 contacts here. 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.
