Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

ealers who feel that their in-
ventory isn’t moving quite as
quickly as this time last year
have had their suspicions backed up by
new Trade Me figures.
The average age of dealer stock
listed on Trade Me has crept up from
70 days in February 2016 to 88 days in
February this year, the company says.
Head of Trade Me
Motors, Alan Clark,
says from a country-
wide point of view,
dealers in Auckland
are faring better than
their regional coun-
terparts.
In Auckland the
average listing age is 77 days, while
outside the main centres it is 95 days.
Trade Me has also seen the number
of vehicles over 120 days old increase
from an average of 18% of dealers’
stock in February 2016 to 24% now.
“We keep a close eye on the num-
ber and type of listings on site so that
we can be an effective partner to our
customers — we understand it’s a com-

petitive market,” Clark says.
Clark says there are some interesting
seasonal changes in terms of what list-
ings are available and what people are
putting on their watch list.
“Over the last few months we’ve
started to see changes in New Zealand-
ers’ demand for certain types of vehicle.
“For example, in the ute category,
the relative de-
mand for used and
new Volkswagen
Amaroks and Ford
Rangers continues
to increase, with
recent demand
outpacing supply on
Trade Me.”
Sales ebb and flow
Imported Motor Vehicle Industry As-
sociation chief executive David Vinsen
says the increase in age of inventory
on Trade Me is no reason for dealers to
panic.
“Supply and demand always works
out, but it’s not always a perfect snap-
shot in time. People start bringing the
prices down and stock starts selling
again.”
Vinsen says there are several fac-
tors that may have contributed to the
increase.

Sales app a hit with dealers
D
ealer sales tool
CarDeals2Me has suc-
cessfully launched in
New Zealand.
The Australian-based com-
pany toured the North Island
visiting new car dealerships in
March and generated almost
30 leads in four days.
“Meetings that I thought
would take 30 minutes took
one or two hours,” general
manager and co-founder Er-
roll Quitoriano says.
“We were pleasantly sur-
prised at how receptive the
dealers are to new technology.
“People were just happy to
give it a shot and curious to
see how it works.”
The app, which is currently
free for dealers to use, allows
buyers to search for the car
they are interested in at par-
ticipating dealerships.
Dealers respond within two
hours with a quote that is valid
for 24 hours.
The purchase is then com-
pleted at the dealership if the
buyer decides to proceed.
“We’re not aligned to any
dealer groups. We’re there to
help everyone if they want to
use it,” Quitoriano says.
The app benefits consum-
ers because they don’t have to
travel from yard to yard seek-
ing quotes for a car and helps
non-metro or quieter dealers
to generate more leads.
Quitoriano says he had
great success in Wellington
and Auckland, and plans to
return to explore the Auck-
land market further during an
upcoming trip.
“I learned a lot from the
dealers. There’s nothing like
this here yet,” he says.
“In terms of coverage, we
have got most of the brands
that we needed. As long as
we have the main Japanese
brands and a few luxury
brands, that will help us grow.
“Over in Australia there are
some services that are similar,
like brokered services. Some-
times they [dealers] are a bit
too comfortable to try some-
thing different.”
Unlike Australia, which has
multiple states and time-zones,
it was relatively simple to tweak
the app for New Zealand, Qui-
toriano says.
“New Zealand is just the
North and South Island. It
made the development a lot
quicker than initially ex-
pected.”
Quitoriano says his positive
New Zealand experience will

NEWSTALK
see him return regularly.
“We will be here every
month until we hire some-
one locally.”
Across the Tas-
man, CarDeals2Me
has secured more
than 140 dealers.
“We prefer to
have dealers spread
out across the
brands. We’re doing
quite well across the luxury
brands, which surprised
me. I thought it would be
the other way around.”
The product is primarily
aimed at “the app genera-
tion”, Quitoriano says.
“It’s for people who want
everything at their fingertips
to make a decision.
“Unfortunately, peo-
ple don’t have brand or
dealership loyalty like they
used to.”
And allowing the con-
sumer and the dealer to use
the app for free shows the
company is focussed on
providing a service, he says.
“The dealers know we’re
not here to screw them
over with lead fees as
we’re not charging
them during this pilot
period.”
Since the launch,
the company has
not charged anyone.
When it does start
charging dealers, the cost
will be minimal, he says.
“It’s a long-term perfor-
mance-based relationship,
rather than shafting the
dealer on one car or lead
like other models we are
compared to.
“With dealers, they just
want it to be quick, easy and
simple to use.”
CarDeals2Me also has
medium-term plans to
expand into two other inter-
national markets.

couldn’t be happier
with its Mullet Amnes-
ty Day marketing campaign.
The promotion saw West
Aucklander Dan Mc-
Nicholl lose his mullet
in exchange for a new
$30,000 Holden Astra
on April Fool’s Day
and was a hit on social
media.
A video clip of the
chop is Holden’s most
watched item ever on
its Facebook page, with
153,000 views – more than
double the next most watched
video.
It also received more than
2000 likes and 250 shares.
Marketing manager Marnie
Samphier says it’s fantastic
McNicholl dared to believe
the promotion might be more
than just an April Fool’s joke.
He was the only one to
turn up and take the risk of
losing his hair, she says.
“We’re rather
chuffed with how it all
played out - especially
with such a worthy
winner.”
Four-time Ba-
thurst champion Greg
Murphy, wearing a
mullet wig, cut off
McNicholl’s hair with
the trim finished off by
a Rodney Wayne stylist.
“Running the promotion on
April 1 added to the intrigue
and ‘what if’ nature of the day,”
Samphier says.
“All it took was one person
who was willing to take a
chance.”
The promotion was based
on Holden’s ‘The Chop’ TV
commercial which debuted
last September.
It marked the start of
Holden New Zealand’s brand
transformation, which has
seen the company move away
from its image of being heavily
associated with V8 engines
and Super Cars.
“The Holden Astra Mullet
Amnesty Day was a fantastic
success for Holden New Zea-
land with the event finding a
worthy winner and also result-
ing in significant social media
interaction,” Samphier says.

condition.
“Rear doors should be of
heavy, solid construction,
preferably with no win-
dows,” police say.
“If the rear door must be
open during business hours
for ventilation purposes,
install a lockable security
screen that allows for venti-
lation and prevents unwar-
ranted access.”
Securing windows, mak-
ing sure safes don’t contain
large amounts of money
and installing good quality
video surveillance equip-
ment are other factors to
keep in mind.
VINZ chief executive
Gordon Shaw is encour-
aging other businesses to
review their security after
the burglaries.
“The attempted bur-
glaries prompted VINZ to
conduct a review of all of
our procedures,” he says.
“One thing we noted
was some of our lights
weren’t working. It’s
something you don’t notice
when you leave in the
daylight.”
Those lights have now
been fixed, Shaw says.
He is not sure why VINZ’s
two Auckland branches
were each targeted twice.
“They went to a lot of
trouble to get into a space
with nothing in it.”
Police couldn’t confirm
whether there is an ongo-
ing trend of burglars tar-
geting compliance shops
and testing stations.

Mitsubishi Motors
New Zealand vehicle
sales and marketing manager
Daniel Cook sees a big year
ahead for the Porirua-based
company.
Its vehicle sales have taken
off - from about 3500 units
eight years ago to around
9700 at the end of the March
31 financial year.
The aim is for 11,000 sales
in the new financial year and
Cook’s tasked with ensuring
the momentum continues.
A few key roles, like his,
have changed to ensure the
right structure is in place for
the future.
Another is the new position
of after-sales manager, taken
up by Noel Comerford.
Cook was head of sales
and marketing strategy before
his title change and promo-
tion.
He’s gained responsi-
bility for Mitsubishi’s fleet
team, adding
to customer
services, product
planning, dealer
sales, marketing
and more.
The company
is preparing its
structure to keep
the growth going, with par-
ticular emphasis on customer
service and satisfaction.
Fleet operations are step-
ping up, for instance, with
big companies like Downer,
Fletcher and All-of-Govern-
ment (procurement) on board.
The Porirua centre’s open
plan layout will ensure every-
thing can be accommodated
there.
“The key for me is growing
customer satisfaction,” Cook
says.
He’s proud
of Mitsubishi’s
10-year Diamond
Advantage war-
ranty, an example
of the company’s
customer-driven
orientation.
A team of about a dozen
people is in regular contact
with customers through the
customer care centre and is
getting results.
Cook has plenty to do,
especially with new models
coming out.
The new Mitsubishi Out-
lander PHEV, a plug-in hybrid,
is expected to see a very
strong uptake. It features a
20-minute fast charge and is
on sale this month.
Cook’s also sure the release
of the new Mitsubishi Eclipse
Cross, a small to medium
sport utility vehicle (SUV),
towards the end of this year
will drive a lot more sales.
SUVs are the fastest grow-
ing segment of the New
Zealand vehicle industry and
the new model was unveiled
at the Geneva International
Motor Show.
“I’m excited about bringing
these additions to our model
range,” Cook says.
