The End of the Beginning
Reshaping Prestige in Zeros and Ones:
Millennials’ Media Consumption and its Effect on Brands
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.

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 Wired magazine’s

apps could still pass for PDFs of the print version. As such,
accessing magazine content on an iPad may seem more like

M-COMMERCE: Sudden Impact
eBay has emerged as the clear leader in mobile commerce.
The company expects to make $1.5 billion from mobile transac-
tions in 2010, up from $600 million in 2009. Version 2.0 of its
phone app, released in November, offers comparison shopping
by scanning bar codes.6 eBay also launched a fashion app in
2010, which lets users browse for clothes, access exclusive
sales, and “try on” outfits by snapping pictures with the iPhone’s
camera. Users can then share their outfits with friends on

In many ways, fashion has led the way for luxury firms. Ralph
Lauren was among the first to offer mobile shopping, followed
by Diane von Furstenberg, Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, and oth-
ers. And with the success of e-tailers such as Net-a-Porter and
