Why do we need StreetWise? Social interaction is changing. Marketing to the youth hasbecome a real challenge. Eroded family life, technologicaladvantage and global citizenship has changed the face of theStreetWise youth. The American Dream, Apple Pie andtraditional values go nowhere towards explaining the drivingforces of our current youth market.
Why do we need StreetWise? • Globally • Higher stress levels and time constraints.Increase in use of technology; computer ownership, Internetusage and cell phone ownership to name a few haveincreasedconnectivity between the youth and their world.Indications are that with the increasing use oftechnology we will see a move towards more anti-social behaviour. • In many instances they are being taught to be"conveniencejunkies" because of their parents/environment and traditionalfamily values are being eroded. • Reversal of roles (Internet and software are being led byyouth, while adults are still battling to grasp the basics andthis is likely to have far more influence on determining theway things are done). • The youth also have more money.
Why do we need StreetWise? • South Africa specifically • Rate of change is much greater than it was 5 years ago.(This is especially true in the case in South Africa - the number of dynamics affecting exposure to the rest of theworld has and will continue to impact on the youth and their values).Affirmative action and multiracial society which is trying tocorrect the wrongs of the past.Relaxation of legal restrictions on society has led to theinflux of drugs, pornography and a resistance to lawfulness. Exposure to Internet has opened up the Global communityto South African youth, with as yet unmeasured impact onsocial structures.
Why Do We Need StreetWise? This has resulted in added pressure on individuals, especiallyyouth. Now more than at any other time, the youth are shaping thefuture. What effect does this have on the youth; and to what extentdoes it impact on how one communicates to them and howweposition brands?
Why Do We Need To Understand ThisMarket? • We need to deepen our understanding of how the youth think and whatis important to them in order to: • Enhance the relevance and effectiveness of marketingcommunication • Identify marketing opportunities in the form of unmet needs
Why Do We Need To Understand ThisMarket? Strategic marketing and branding demands insights into: Values/attitudes/psychographics (set the tone forcommunication) Hobbies and interests (make it relevant so they become involved) Media exposure (how to reach them) Advertising evaluation (what kind of adverts appealandwhy, and which set the trends) Power of brands (what are the drivers behind specific brands and why do they work) Purchase power (what is your share of wallet) Product usage (category spec.) Role of trends/trend setting (helps your brand keep pacein a rapidly changing market)

Groups Total 32 40 First Quarter 20 25 Second Quarter 4 5 Third Quarter 4 5 Fourth Quarter 4 5 Sample Size and Structure Qualitative There are a number of dynamics that we need toconsider in ensuring a representative sample. Forthis reason we have included a significant number ofgroup discussions and a large number of in-depths inour sample structure. Taking all the dynamics into account a total of 32group discussions and +-40 in-depth interviews willbe conducted in the major metropolitan andsurrounding areas during the course of the year,structured as follows: Indepths
Sample Size and Structure The youth network / Information gatherers: Theserepresentatives will be used to collect data fromwithin their peer group in order to help us 'seethings‘ through the eyes of their generation. It is envisaged that 20 candidates beselected (5 per age category). These candidates willbe rotated throughout the year in order to protectagainst factors such as fatigue, attrition andfamiliarisation. The qualitative research will be used as a vehicle forgenerating inputs for the quantitative research.
Sample Size and Structure • Internet Research • Chatrooms; group discussions; and quantitative adhoc studies. The following is a broad outline of the proposed structure • 10 hours of chatroom observation permonth. 4 internet groups at the outset, followed by an additional 4 during the year.Questionnaires: one per quarter at asample size of 100 each.
Sample Size and Structure • Quantitative: Sample size and structure • Size 2400 • Category specific information will be collected on asample of 1200 respondents • Face-to-face interviews allowing for 4 age groups(600 per cell) • - 14/15 years- 16/17 years- 18/20 years- 21/24 years • The sample structure of the main quantitative studywill be based on the combined information obtainedfrom AMPS and Teen AMPS. Quota sampling procedure will be used.Nationally representative of LSM 6-8, across allraces.Quotas would be imposed on age and race in orderto ensure large enough sample bases for analysis.Data will then be post-weighted to restore correctpopulation proportions.Sample selection using a standard random walkmethod.
Outputs • The study is not just about information - information is only powerful when it can be turned into a strategic advantage to capture the market. The information must be actionable and should have a strong strategic focus. • Specific outputs include: • Quarterly reports • Access to security controlled website – updatedregularly • Multimedia presentation annually • Clip-on segmentation tool • Workshops • Strategic analysis (optional)

Analysis • Quantitative: Market classification / segmentation • We prefer not to prescribe a black box methodology upfrontbut rather to determine the best approach on closerexamination of the data, once the key drivers in this markethave been identified. Our approach may include: • Cluster analysis to identify specificsegments in the youth marketing based oncommon needs, attitudes, buying logic,psychographics, preferences etc. • Factor analysis to determine the extent towhich similarities and/or differences existwithin this market by examining thecontinuums that exist within the youthmarket. • For example the continuum ofBrand Consciousness ranges from notaware of brands/labels to very aware ofbrands / labels • The strength on whichindividuals load ontothese differentunderlying continuumsare then used to grouprespondents withsimilar needs together. • Groups of respondentswith similar needs arethen further analysedto determinedifferences inbehaviour, allowingus to streamline ourmarketing andcommunication efforts.
Analysis • The software that will be used for data analysis is SPSS. In addition to the above, data analysis techniques may include:- • Perceptual Mapping techniques, including Correspondenceanalysis Chi-Square significance testingMultiple regressionCHAID Discriminant AnalysisAny additional technique should they be required. (Neuralnetworking - predictive/forecast) • The output of this analysis will be interpreted in light of the findings of the qualitative research.
