Music Fans & Brand Sponsorships [CHART]

Music fans not only appreciate artists, but also the brands that sponsor their events, according to a report from Nielsen.

The study segments music consumers into 4 segments: “aficionado fans;” “digital fans;” “big box fans;” and all other music consumers. Some highlights regarding these segments follow. Read the rest at MarketingCharts.
