The End of the Beginning  

Resapg Prestge  Zeros ad Oes: Mlleals’ Meda Cosumpto ad its Effect o Brads  

Generation Y—the future of prestige—has a strong preference for digital content and social interaction. The affluent slice of millennials we surveyed is brand conscious, educated, and upwardly mobile. They regularly engage with prestige brands through a variety of media, from newspapers to micro-blogs.

But digital is trouncing traditional channels with this critical cohort and is gaining momentum. Luxury brands continue to fight tanks with cavalry, devoting the bulk of their marketing dollars to print and analog. Brands that continue to under-invest in digital risk losing mind share of the largest U.S. consumer group— Generation Y.

Fortunately, brands are catching on; it’s the “end of the beginning” of a dramatic shift in ad spending from traditional formats to digital. Deft marketers are recognizing the value of investing in their own sites, social media platforms, and mobile apps. Those that don’t embrace the digital migration risk joining Blockbuster on the dust heap of great brands that hoped the Internet would just go away.

k E Y F i n D i n G S Facebook Is Fundamental With more than 550 million active users, Facebook dominates the social media landscape. In the past ten years, the number of page views recorded for the top ten websites in the U.S. increased from one third to three quarters of total page views on - line; as the Internet matures people are focusing on fewer sites. 1 This is especially true in the case of Facebook, whose share of the Internet continues to grow. The behemoth’s success comes at the expense of other portals as well as traditional channels that brands have relied on for marketing. Websites remain impor - tant, particularly for e-commerce, but brands will increasingly fol- low their customers, making their content available on Facebook.

k E Y F i n D i n G S Blogs on Par with Newspapers If baby boomers are the TV generation, then Gen Y is the blog generation. Nearly half of Gen Y affluents read at least one blog daily, making blogs as popular as newspapers with this cohort. Blogs associated with such traditional media organiza - tions as The New York Times and ESPN are as popular as those focused on a niche. Millennials’ favorite specialty blogs include Mashable and The Sartorialist . Micro-blogging is even more pervasive; two thirds of affluent Gen Y’s use Twitter, with one in four checking their account in the past 24 hours. Newspaper Content Commands as Much Attention as TV On a daily basis, Gen Y affluents are as likely to read newspaper content as they are to watch TV, and they would rather have the content on a screen. In fact, four of five readers access news - papers digitally, and one in eight do so using a mobile device. Magazines Are Getting ‘Facebooked’ Facebook could do to magazines what Google did to newspa - pers, providing easier access to a vast array of content. Gen Y affluents are avid magazine readers, but magazines have not yet figured out the transition to digital . Nine in ten Gen Y affluents read at least one magazine per month, but only a quarter of them access magazines online, and almost none receive that content on an iPad e-reader, or , smartphone. The iPad has been a force for innovation, but so far magazine content repackaged for iPads is not compelling enough for this cohort.

k E Y F i n D i n G S Renting Versus Owning Brands’ ability to establish direct relationships (en masse) could dramatically alter the media landscape. Power will shift as brands cultivate authentic relationships via Facebook, creating cohorts whose sizes dwarf media brands’ subscriber bases, along with an opening to circumvent the traditional publisher network. In sum, it’s a great time to be a digitally deft brand ... and a precarious time to be in ad-supported media . This graph illus- trates the relative sizes of the cohorts versus subscriber bases of iconic brands and media properties, respectively.

k E Y F i n D i n G S Digital Video Rising Millennials love TV programs and movies, though affection for television sets and theaters is waning. Instead, affluents are watching online and on mobile devices. Indeed, one in eight re- ports watching a video on a mobile device in the past 24 hours. Geo-Local: The Mouse That Roars Location-based services garner major buzz, though we have yet to see what this technology can really offer. About one in five Gen Y affluents report using Foursquare in the past 24 hours, though a recent Pew study indicated that adult use of location-based services declined slightly between May and September of 2010. 2 Usage could increase dramatically, how - ever, as new platforms such as Facebook Places and Google Hotpot launch with built-in potential user bases. Smart, Smarter, Smartest The mobile content-delivery revolution is underway. One in four Gen Y affluents access Facebook using a mobile device, and one in five read newspapers using mobile . Not surprisingly, the “fruit” brands dominate the smartphone market. About one third own a BlackBerry and slightly more own an iPhone. Meanwhile, a whopping 71 percent say they expect to own an iPhone in the future.

k E Y F i n D i n G S Big on Brands Gen Ys are both brand aware and eager to interact. Three quarters of respondents have an affinity for brands and one in eight are self-proclaimed brand “devotees.” Early adopters—those who use mobile devices and e-readers to access media—may be particularly valuable to luxury brands. Seventy-nine percent of these technophiles expect to make $100,000 per year or more in the near term. In other words, cutting-edge innovation is important to the most affluent among Gen Ys . This wealthier bunch also skews slightly higher on brand awareness. Social Media and the Brand Funnel The majority of Gen Y affluents use social media to connect with brands. Many do so to receive promotions or offers and one quarter engages because they have an affinity for a brand. Nearly one in eight simply like the content brands provide.

Building on Brick-and-Mortar The majority of respondents are likely to purchase prestige brands in-store, though nearly half anticipate making pur - chases through a brand’s website. In a given 24-hour period, however, more respondents visit a website than a physical store. As investments follow the consumer, there’s likely to be a massive increase in the allocation of capital to brands’ online stores from their terrestrial counterparts . Vis-à-Vis Facebook With the majority of Gen Y opting in to brand newsletters and updates, email remains a powerful tool for interaction. But Facebook is becoming the new word of mouth. More than half of respondents have “liked” a brand in the past month, and about one third have “shared” brands with their networks . Brand Websites Are as Influential as Newspapers and Glossies Word of mouth is still the most important force shaping Gen Y brand perceptions, but websites tie for second place with news- papers and magazines—brands’ traditional marketing weapons of choice. Three quarters of Gen Y affluents visited brand sites in the past 24 hours, though most firms still allocate a dispro- portionate percentage of their marketing budgets to analog channels. Digital media receives only a fraction of the dollars that consumers’ behavior suggests they should.

WIRED : Unplugged Wired is head of the pack when it comes to offering a compelling format for magazine content on the iPad. The Wired app was downloaded an impressive 100,000 times in June, its first month. Not surprisingly, downloads dropped more than a third in each successive month through September after its core readership signed on. It’s too early to tell if the honeymoon is already over or if the real marriage of magazines and apps is forthcoming. iPads still aren’t commonplace, despite their remarkable growth. But the real bottleneck for magazines is design. Wired ’s app is among the best, but no magazine has really tapped the social and interactive potential of the tablet format . Most magazine apps could still pass for PDFs of the print version. As such, accessing magazine content on an iPad may seem more like heavy petting than anything else in the near term.

FACEBOOK: Media’s Walmart Facebook is growing at a blistering rate, doubling its U.S. user base in the 12 months through October. The ubiquitous platform is quickly becoming the Walmart of media, able to vanquish competition by replicating its services at scale. This year saw the launch of Facebook Places and Facebook Deals in the geo-local space, as well as Facebook Messages, which aims to integrate email, text, and chat. Facebook also officially broke out of social networking in 2010 to become one of the most powerful media companies in the world, surpassing Google News in referral traffic to news and media sites. In July, Facebook launched its “Facebook + Media” page, engaging media companies directly to identify ways to drive more traffic to their sites.
