Leveraging the Power of Parents | ViacomCBS Networks Africa

Official ViacomCBS Networks Africa media release:

VIACOMCBS NETWORKS AFRICA: LEVERAGING THE POWER OF PARENTS

JOHANNESBURG 27 AUGUST 2020 – Parents direct billions of dollars spent globally each year. Their control on family spending has a direct impact on brands and how these brands choose to reach their audiences. Gone are the days of yesteryear where parents believed that children were meant to be seen and not heard. A new generation of parents has emerged and interestingly, these parents have made their children part of the decision-making process in the household.

As families navigate the new normal of home schooling and quarantining during this Covid-19 pandemic, brands have the opportunity to tap into this behaviour and expand their consumer reach.

Research conducted by ViacomCBS Networks Africa on families shows that today’s kids and parents around the world have an interesting dynamic around brand choices and decision making. The path to purchase in households (with children) is often a negotiation between children and parents and children have been found to have the upper hand.

In the study, 87% of parents said that they initiate the purchase process in the household, often identifying what they need to buy. Then, they will let their children know about those needs and both parties will collaborate in evaluating their options.

Our study has found that both kids and parents are influenced by rational and emotional drivers. Emotion, however, is the primary driver behind decision making. Rationally, parents want to know how much a product costs and whether their kids will enjoy it. From an emotional perspective, parents are now seeking brands that allow them to spend time interacting as a family and help them remain heroes in the eyes of their kids.

Tasania Parsadh, the channel director for Nickelodeon Africa.

Through our research, we found that millennial upbringing, kids’ unprecedented access to tech, financial awareness and family closeness all play a role as key drivers to family collaboration in the path to purchase. We will delve deeper into understanding millennial upbringing as a key driver to collaboration when purchasing from brands.

Previously, Generation Xers parented using a top down approach where children were “seen, not heard”. However, when millennials were born, the shift in parenting started to happen. Children became the center of their parents’ worlds, given a seat at the table and often had the upper hand over their parents.

Additionally, the study shows that a majority of millennials attended daycare, participated in play groups and played organised sports. Because of this, they learned the value of teamwork and collaboration when they were young, and these learnings are reflected in their parenting style now.

With this in mind, parents have reimagined the role of children in the family. Instead of catering to their children’s every whim, they have brought learned values of teamwork and collaboration to the fore. Parents and children now collaborate in the process of decision making in the household.

Kids are reported to influence up to 16 out of 26 categories of all household purchases and as a market segment, cannot be ignored. In fact, ignoring them means missing the mark as a brand completely.

Studies show that the influence of children continues to increase exponentially although the kinds of products marketed to them have remained the same over the years. Children have gained more affluence which makes their market segment worthy of pursuit by businesses.

Their heavy use of media and quick adoption of newer technologies give advertisers a good opportunity to market campaigns using TV, cellphones, iPads, gaming platforms and other digital platforms.

Giuliana Dias, Senior Director, Research & Insight ViacomCBS Networks Africa.

To appeal fully to households, brands also need to target and engage both kids and parents simultaneously. This can be challenging because parents and kids have different needs and interests. However, through balanced messaging that appeals and engages with both parents and children, brands can remain top of mind in any household. It is so essential that brands create messaging that reflects these new collaborative households that have emerged.

As ViacomCBS Networks Africa, we noticed that within our stable, our fastest growing channel during the COVID-19 pandemic across most target markets is Nickelodeon a children’s channel, a family channel. Interestingly, children’s programmes as a genre have seen a 49% growth in viewership, coming second to news at 99%. This serves as testament to the power of family viewing often in favor of the younger audience channels. It also reflects that on TV, the only channels that will have high viewership by both parents and children are the kid’s channels.

Parents, particularly moms, happily oblige to watching children’s programmes frequently in a bid to keep their children happy. The same pattern can be seen in their purchasing patterns. Kids are seen as trusted advisors to their moms on the latest products to buy because they have their pulse on trends and brands that are considered ‘cool’. A high 76% of moms involved in the ViacomCBS study said that they often leverage their kids’ tech skills to research brand information and their kids play a massive part in the products that are bought in the household.

The Channel Director for Nickelodeon Africa, Tasania Parsadh put it best when she said – “Good robust research is what underpins our content creation and understanding of our dual audience of kids and parents. While kids enjoy the animation and fun on the channels, our parents who engage with the content are avid fans too. Co-viewing homes have grown over the years and in SA, we frequently have toddlers, kids, teens and their parents actively watching our Nickelodeon and NickToons channels daily.”

This is an opportunity for brands to leverage the path to purchase, which studies have shown, is driven by a delicate process of negotiation. Parents and kids are working together to decide which products should be purchased in the home. Is your brand leveraging this opportunity to speak to parents, in spaces where they are co-viewing with their families?

Nickelodeon's 'Santiago of the Seas', premiering Friday, Oct. 9, at 12:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 9, 2020 -- A-list celebrities and leading entertainment brands, including Netflix, Sony Pictures, Facebook Watch, Nickelodeon, STX Entertainment, and more, will take the virtual stage at L'ATTITUDE 2020 in our country's first national dialogue entitled, "The New Mainstream Economy: Restart and Rebound," being driven by U.S. Latinos. National media, c-suite executives, and elected officials will also participate in the national forum live-cast September 24-27.

Entering its third year, L'ATTITUDE has partnered with multi-platinum Grammy winner and entrepreneur Emilio Estefan to further build and expand the program, given his vast experience in the entertainment industry. The entertainment program will also feature LATINXT, the annual track that serves as a launch pad for the industry to present new content featuring Latino talent, while celebrating the U.S. Latino voices creating positive cultural and economic impact in the media and entertainment sector.

"Last year when I received an award at L'ATTITUDE and witnessed first hand the importance of the event as a unique forum to celebrate the contributions of U.S. Latinos and capitalize on our profound influence in this country, I immediately wanted to be involved," said Estefan. "The first two years have attracted world-class celebrities, breakthrough talent, and national media attention, so we're really excited about how the lineup is shaping up this year, and we can't wait to showcase all the artistry that's positively impacting American culture and helping to redefine the New Mainstream."

The growing list of celebrities, entertainment talent, and leaders confirmed to participate include:

• Pitbull – Grammy award-winning recording artist, producer, and entrepreneur
• Gloria Estefan – Seven-time Grammy and Latin Grammy award-winning recording artist and host of the upcoming Facebook Watch talk show Red Table Talk: The Estefans
• Eva Longoria – Actress, producer, director, activist, and entrepreneur
• Gerard Butler – International star of STX Entertainment's upcoming action thriller film Greenland, releasing in theaters nationwide on September 25, 2020
• Morena Baccarin – International star of STX Entertainment's upcoming action thriller film Greenland, releasing in theaters nationwide on September 25, 2020
• José Andrés – World-renowned MICHELIN-star chef, entrepreneur, humanitarian, and philanthropist
• Canelo Alvarez – Four-division world champion boxer
• Kenny Ortega – Director of Disney's High School Musical franchise and upcoming Netflix series Julie and The Phantoms
• Carlos Ponce – Costar of the upcoming Netflix series Julie and The Phantoms
• Madison Reyes – Star of the upcoming Netflix series Julie and The Phantoms
• Sonny Bustamante – Costar of the upcoming Netflix series Julie and The Phantoms
• Lili Estefan – Emmy Award-winning host of Univision's El Gordo y la Flaca and cohost of the upcoming Facebook Watch talk show Red Table Talk: The Estefans
• Emily Estefan – Rising singer/songwriter and cohost of the upcoming Facebook Watch talk show Red Table Talk: The Estefans

• Miguel Puga – Co-Executive Producer of Nickelodeon's hit animated series The Casagrandes
• Izabella Alvarez – Lead actor portraying "Ronnie Anne Santiago" in Nickelodeon's hit animated series The Casagrandes

The L'ATTITUDE event agenda will feature four days of virtual sessions covering business, finance, politics, sports, and entertainment, including panels on Latin music, upcoming streaming, film, and TV content, and an important dialogue about U.S Latino representation in all facets of the industry. Additionally, the Latino Donor Collaborative will present its latest findings on the progress that leading entertainment and media companies are making in identifying, hiring and featuring U.S. Latinos and leveraging the revenue potential of the New Mainstream Economy.

"The entertainment industry is leaving money on the table by not including U.S. Latinos in front of and behind the camera, given the fact that Latino consumers over-index in entertainment across the board and in virtually all other sectors. It is a basic understanding of marketing that people like to see themselves and their contexts when viewing ads or content. It is encouraging to see the companies we are featuring doing just that," said Sol Trujillo, L'ATTITUDE co-founder. "There have been multiple studies bringing facts and data to light that shows that Latinos are still extremely underrepresented in media and entertainment, and too often relegated to minor roles and stereotypical narratives. Our entertainment-focused program aims to ignite a much-needed discussion and spotlight those who are actually participating in the space and the companies that are acting upon that opportunity."

The upcoming Facebook Watch talk show, Red Table Talk: The Estefans, will also be featured at L'ATTITUDE and will engage attendees with three generations of iconic Latina women: Gloria Estefan, Lili Estefan, and Emily Estefan. The L'ATTITUDE closing gala will include the presentation of the L'ATTITUDE 2020 Leadership Awards to Eva Longoria and chef José Andrés, both of whom have achieved exemplary personal success, which they have then leveraged by using their resources and influence to improve the lives of others. This award recognizes those who demonstrate the relentless U.S. Latino work ethic and community-minded humanitarian spirit.

In addition to the entertainment sessions, the event will bring together leaders from BlackRock, Nike, Bank of America, Verizon, United Airlines, Walmart, Wells Fargo, American Express, and Target, among others, along with leading national media partners like MSNBC, CNBC, Telemundo, The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, and Dow Jones MarketWatch.
