Generation V(irtual)
The online behavior, attitudes and interests of people from all walks of life are blending
together online, cutting across generations and traditional demographics and giving rise
to a new online group called “Generation Virtual” (Generation V).
Unlike previous generations, Generation V is not defined by age, gender, social class or
geography. Instead, it is based on achievement, accomplishments and an increasing
preference for the use of digital media channels to discover information, build
knowledge and share insights.
Generation V is defined by one key behavioral attribute:
Belief in the value of
collaboration; ‘we’ is
more powerful and
valuable than ‘me’:
96% of them have
joined a social network
UAE has the
highest Internet
penetration rate in
the GCC
Now, we’re
connected!
Social Media has shifted
who people trust to
influence their decisions By engaging top influencers and
spreading positive news through social
media, brands and products gain
credibility
July 2010: Study conducted by Effective Measure and Spot On PR on Middle East consumers
Online media and marketing is a priority because it is
ALWAYS consumed!
Why do we
emphasize
social media?
