- New Generations' report reveals favourite influencer channels, most popular platforms and device usage; social media trends and ad effectiveness -
SYDNEY - Turner Australia has unveiled the findings of its latest New Generations report at events in Melbourne and Sydney this week, lifting the lid on what makes our youngsters tick. The report looks at a variety of aspects facing children aged 4-14 including screen time, content preferences and how they find out about the latest products.
Understanding the minds of the next generation of content consumers is never an easy task. The kids we spoke to are true digital natives who play by very different rules to us and this report has really thrown up some interesting data, said David Webb, Turner's Senior Director of Data & Insights for Asia Pacific.
What Are Our Kids Watching?
Despite the rise of short-form video platforms, TV remains the largest medium in terms of monthly usage for kids, according to Turner's New Generations report.
On average, kids are consuming more than two and a half hours of television and movies across all devices and platforms on a typical day, and spend a further 75 minutes on short-form video platforms. Cartoons remain the favourite type of TV content watched by kids, followed by movies and live-action kids shows.
Never before have children had so many content and platform choices - but TV is still the major player for youngsters, and it's also clear that they still love animation, added Mr Webb.
Penetration of newer technology has increased amongst households with kids, with streaming devices ( 124%), smartwatches ( 69%) and VR devices ( 60%) having all seen large uplifts in ownership since the last survey in 2016. And while almost all households surveyed now have a smartphone, child access to computing devices remains higher for tablets and computers.
What Are Our Kids Doing Online?
Short-form video viewing was the most common online activity for kids on websites and apps (73%).
Despite high platform consumption, usage of individual on-line video channels remains highly fragmentated, and of the myriad of YouTube channels available, Dan TDM, Ryan's Toys Reviews, Minecraft, Jake Paul and Hobby Kids TV were listed as the top five.
Online games overtook school/homework in this year's survey in terms of key online activities. Minecraft remained the top favourite game for both boys and girls, although recent sensation, Fortnite, was the second-highest favourite title for boys.
Social media usage remains much lower for kids, especially those aged 12 and under, with only a quarter (27%) using any platform in the last month. Instagram has overtaken Facebook for the first time in the New Generations history, with nearly half of the kids using Instagram of which 87% have their own account.
Turner AdLab
As part of the research Turner also developed AdLab, in order to determine the effectiveness of advertising to kids. The study researched key effectiveness metrics such as ad likeability, brand recall and purchase intent within TV, short-form video platforms and website environments.
The research revealed that TV ads outperformed YouTube ads for key ad metrics when comparing the same creative, with results showing 43% higher spontaneous awareness, 21% higher brand recall, 7% higher ad likeability and a 13% change in purchase intent.
What we saw was that purchase intent increased when an ad was shown on TV only, compared to YouTube only, but further increased when seen on both TV and You Tube. This information could provide brands with better information to plan their campaigns. said Mr Webb.
In the website test, premium digital formats such as OTP (Over the Page) ads, pre-roll videos and game takeover ad units were more impactful, achieving double the recall of standard digital ads.
Content environments also played a key role in driving effectiveness with ads performing better on all key metrics when kids liked the surrounding content. The research also showed that ads appearing within content for the same brand achieved higher recall ( 35%) and purchase intent ( 25%).
Turner Australia is the company behind brands such as Cartoon Network and Boomerang, and YouTube platform Mega Awesome Wow.
