Understanding Men in Advertising
1. MEN. DO ADVERTISERS
REALLY UNDERSTAND THEM?
IT’S TIME TO DITCH
THE STEREOTYPE.
It’s not just technology, sports and beer.
Men spend a lot of time online comparing
prices in what’s considered more “female”
categories like health and wellness and
food and cooking.1 More than half of them
read reviews of products and services and
nearly as many share positive research
results with friends.
Nearly as many men as women will call
a friend to ask advice about a purchase
while they’re shopping in a store.
MEN AREN’T AS
BRAND LOYAL AS
WOMEN.
They like to know how to
use stuff. They turn to search
engines, comparison sites and
brand sites to educate them –
if the information isn’t
compelling, they start over.
And more men than women look up
product reviews on their smartphone
while in the store.
Planning their futures and careers, saving,
getting married and having children.
Grocery shopping, co-parenting (and
changing diapers!) and cooking a lot of
the family meals.
IT’S TIME TO
RETHINK MEN.
MEN CAN BE
HARDER TO
PERSUADE THAN
WOMEN.
While men and women
recall advertising at similar
levels, men are generally less
responsive to advertising
messages overall.
MEN ARE
MULTITASKERS.
It can be hard to capture
their attention when
they’re on three devices
at once.
RELYING ON PREVIOUS STEREOTYPES TO INFLUENCE MEN WON’T WORK
It may even alienate them. The portrayal of the lazy guy or Dad that doesn’t know how to wash clothes
or feed his kids is out of touch with reality and further perpetuates negative stereotypes.

baby or read stories and to Skype relatives who live too far away to visit often.

Women may be the heavy shoppers in their house, but research shows men are catching up. Our advice to marketers
is to look beyond their typical target (female) audience and make men feel at home.
Our ads enable advertisers to tell their stories how they want to, control their message in a brand-friendly environment,
and are more persuasive than ads on competitive sites.
And our properties attract guys who have a higher likelihood to make purchases compared with other sites.
Only Microsoft Advertising combines high-quality content with proven technology across multiple screens to help
advertisers reach and engage men at the point of purchase.
