- 30. Breaking the GenV Code • Generalization is out. Gen V comes in different shapes and sizes. Two things that remain consistent is love for family and simplicity. – However, Uber Moderns are more attuned to changes and modernization. This segment can be a good vehicle to introduce new products and services. • Variety also comes in the type of activities involved in and most of the time occurring at the same time. – Gen V can watch TV, send SMS, and check online profile all in one go! – Involvement in such activities may be refreshing but marketers may also end up fighting for the Gen V’s attention. – Online and mobile advertising are in line with such activities. These are their link to the changing world. Definitely, viable tools to answer the need for keeping up and keeping in touch. • Keeping up with the changing times is a necessity. – This necessity is often coupled with the need to give and receive updates from his/ her circle of friends. – This is where “ready-to-share” advertising content comes in, armed with targeted and specific information. Gen V as a marketing tool can be possible with just a click! Gen V Study 2009 August 2, 2012 Page 30 Confidential & Proprietary Copyright © 2009 The Nielsen Company
