Global Study: Shopping with Generation Y and ZIris
Generations Y and Z. We've all seen the headlines. They are narcissistic, impatient and fickle. But the truth is they're the most exciting generation for brands and retailers since the baby boomers. Our latest global study uncovers the myths and misconceptions attributed to Gens Y & Z, and the implications for brands and retailers today.
At SXSE, we attempt to join the dots between the ideas, inspiration and insanity of the SXSW Interactive festival to create a playbook for the year ahead.
In 2017, we believe that in order to succeed, we’re going to have to find ways to bring together multiple tracks in technology and innovation before trying to envisage what comes next when they start interacting with each other and multiplying their effects, rather than focusing on progress in isolation.
In short: to Multiply & Conquer!
This deck was part of our presentation "How to Pull Your Own Trump" delivered by Adam Abrahami, Managing Director, iris Concise at Social Media Week New York 2017.
Whether you feel icky about it, don’t know about it, or are scared by it, the approach Trump’s team took will change the nature of political campaigning from here forward.
From the perspective of a data driven marketer and customer strategy consultant, the campaign employed a range and scale of new tactics that are more common to credit card marketing than to political campaigning – On the day of the third presidential debate, the team tested 170,000 different messages. They used machine learning to hone his messages over time. They took a post-demographic approach to targeting that is more often spoken about, than actually done.
Like him or hate him, you want to understand this for your own digital marketing strategies moving forward.

89% of advertising is not noticed or remembered at all. So how can brands cut through the noise, get noticed and have the market make the noise for them?
The most potent and efficient brands in the world today are being built with people, not for them. We call them Participation Brands.
In this workshop we’ll explore the Participation Brand Index, a recent study of 140 global brands conducted by iris Worldwide, which uses the data from 14,000 global consumers across multiple sectors to understand the relationship between Participation Brand building and business performance.
The brands who top the study are those seen to have not just a positioning, but a passionate purpose at their heart. They are the ones felt not to just respond to culture but actively shape it. They are the brands creating content, conversations and experiences that people want to get involved in. They are the Participation Brands, and they are reaping the rewards.
