The data for GRP calculations shall be provided by the independent media monitoring service ZAO "TNS GALLUP MEDIA." Upon acceptance of the Advertising Order for products with apparent consumer properties, the projected effectiveness may be determined for key target audiences. Target audience - potential viewers with similar sociographic and psychographic attributes: o Age (obligatory factor for the target group) o Sex o Region or inhabitation territory o Income level o Education o Occupation o Children's amount, etc. The primary target groups are the typical target groups most commonly targeted by Clients on which the projected effectiveness is assessed: o 11-25 All o 11-34 All o 11-34 All Moscow o 14-24 All o 18-35 Females o 18-35 All o 18-54 Females o 18-54 Males o 18+ All o 18+ All Moscow o 18-44 Females o 18-44 All o 20-39 All o 25+ Females o 6+ All The numbers define age ranges. When determining the effectiveness of the Advertising Order, the average perception frequency - Frequency, conditionally determined as the ratio of GRP to Reach. Reach - coverage - the number of people in the target group who saw a particular broadcast at least for one minute (in thousands of people). Projected (forecast) effectiveness is to be assessed on the basis of the data available from the independent monitoring company ZAO "TNS GALLUP MEDIA" for the entire territory of Russia for past periods. This data is to be extrapolated for the period during which certain advertising and promotion materials are to be broadcast according to the New Channel schedule and adjusted for seasonal variations and other factors. 3.2.
