The everyday concerns of the global population are the focus of one of Ipsos’ flagship global surveys. Each month we ask an online sample of over 18,000 citizens in more than 25 countries1 about the key issues they believe are facing their country, asking them to pick up to three from a diverse array of topics, ranging from unemployment to access to credit.
Building on the huge success of its previous regional syndicated study, “She Speaks”, Ipsos Marketing in MENA is launching a new syndicated study, this time targeting one of the most important and most disruptive consumer segments in the region: Millennials.
We all know that MENA is one of the fastest growing online markets in the world, with number of internet users almost doubling every 5 years. The marketers are taking this opportunity and constantly increasing their share of media mix on digital, some reaching close to 30% of their total spends. But the question now is “are we getting enough return on our investment?”
The MENA region has some of the highest internet penetration figures in the world and a proliferation of high end devices. In parallel, operators have invested heavily in fixed and mobile broadband services to be able to deliver high quality experiences to customers.
Combine an explosive growth in Internet usage, a wave of tech-hungry millennials and the infiltration of smart devices in the MENA region, and witness a digital transformation taking consumer lifestyles by storm.
Women are one of the most powerful consumer segments in the world. Not only does their influence extend across major categories, they are also the main influencers when it comes to purchase decisions relating to the household.
