Who is in this audience?

About this audience

No single postcode area dominates: M1 (Manchester) is largest at 26 percent, M3 (Manchester) follows at 17 percent, then M2 (Manchester) at 15 percent. The spread is similar by company size: the 200 to 349 employee band is largest at 15 percent, the 100 to 199 employee band follows at 13 percent, then the 500 to 999 employee band at 12 percent. The 500 to 999 employee band is over-represented: 12 percent here against 6.2 percent across the database. By industry the audience is also spread out: Professional, scientific and technical is largest at 23 percent, Information and communication follows at 14 percent, then Finance and insurance at 12 percent. Manufacturing is under-represented: 4 percent here against 11 percent across the database. A company can hold several SIC codes, so industry shares overlap and can add to more than 100 percent.

10,290 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 12,955 (72 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 place filter uses the built-up area 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 10 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.
