Audience Profile
An audience profile is a necessary first step in successful advertising. One might call it advertising's "homework." It helps identify who exactly buys a given company's product as well as the type of people viewing this or that broadcast. Before advertising, the information such as potential customers' preference and demand are gathered and analyzed in order to make advertisements aiming at their personal preference and needs. With this information in hand, companies can then create ads appealing to people likely to buy their products.

So the TV commercial produced by the company showed a doctor talking to people that the milk produced by the company is beneficial to children's physical well being.
