The Vibrant Lives
of Digital Youth: in the Age of Social Media CIC - GroupM Knowledge White Paper on Youth © 2011 GroupM Knowledge & CIC The Vibrant Lives of Digital Youth: China’s Young Consumers in the Age of Social Media 1
2.
Preface
Over 50% of the CEOs of online platforms like Qing Blog, group-purchase sites, vertical portals and mobile platforms in China are born after the year of 1980. Their shared background and experience means they are well informed of their peer’s wants and needs in terms of these digital services and as such, create platforms that resonate and win supports amongst their audience. The central role of the internet in the lives of young people hinges on a desire for new experience and self expression. This virtual identity helps them to create real-world self-image. China ‘s youth have a strong sense of individuality and are pioneering social media. With the evolution from social media to social business, it’s essential that brands to understand their behavior and develop social media strategy that resonates with this audience. Brands who can skillfully participate in the online community to expand brand recognition, develop preference, loyalty and affinity, can shorten the distance between themselves and their consumers. Following the launch of 'The Voice of Luxury: Social Media and Luxury Brands in China' in October of 2011, in December, CIC and GroupM Knowledge once again cooperate to develop industry understanding of young people’s online behavior. This report aims to foster such deeper understanding with reference to contemporary social pressures. As such, this white paper can also guide brands in indentifying target audience and creating effective marketing strategies. © 2011 GroupM Knowledge & CIC The Vibrant Lives of Digital Youth: China’s Young Consumers in the Age of Social Media 2

Preface
The China Youth Report looks at the daily lives of Chinese youth, the effect of celebrity culture and influence of brand image. Although youth may experience different upbringing and environment, they do share strong characteristics. Generally speaking, 80’s generation are more willing to express themselves while 90’s tend to enjoy making the most of life’s entertainment. gap year, little fresh and “Let’s build our own town” community are quite popular among China’s youth nowadays, such styles and events are great opportunities and practice for them to express themselves. There are key areas of interest amongst the young generation, the top three being music (30%), astrology (28%) and Zhai (15%), which means hanging out at home. Sleep and Fu also make it into the top 20 as favorite tags chosen by Chinese youth. Young people are exploring identity and realizing their self-worth and social value, while discovering interests that enrich their lives. Celebrity culture has traditionally been a key area of interest for young people and as such, celebrities play an important role in mainstreaming social media. Self-made stars, or those who have been plucked from obscurity to achieve celebrity status, have an aspirational quality that particularly resonates with young people. In the list of most discussed stars on Sina Weibo, five of the top ten are self-made celebrities. Their Weibo accounts allow their audience a closer look at this lifestyle and encourage young people to chase their dreams with the sense that anyone can 'make it'. Finally, youth are working towards a better quality of life. They have a keen recognition and strong sensitivity to branding and products. They eat McDonald’s and pursue a future filled with BMW and Chanel. Compared to other age groups, youth are more willing to interact with their favored brands. They also love sharing their views of brands in entertaining ways. All of this is valuable business for brands. The aim of this white paper, a collaborative effort from CIC and GroupM Knowledge, is to help brands better understand their target audience’s psychology and behavior, and as such, become an effective tool in the development of successful social business. © 2011 GroupM Knowledge & CIC The Vibrant Lives of Digital Youth: China’s Young Consumers in the Age of Social Media 3
