Why Chat is Dead…
4
Chat is dead.Because of her….
…smartphone.
‘Phone’ isn’t on her home screen and…
she hasn’t downloaded your app
She is Gen C
Gen C ≠ Millennials
Gen C is a powerful new force in culture and commerce. Sixty-five percent are under 35 but they span the generations, empowered by technology to search out authentic content that they consume across all platforms and all screens, whenever and wherever they want.
Gen C is a powerful new force in consumer culture. It’s a term we use to describe people who care deeply about creation, curation, connection, and community. It’s not an age group; it’s an attitude and mindset.
Social interactions give Gen C its sense of self. They are what they share, like, comment on, and retweet…
88%of Gen C has a social profile, with
65%updating it daily
Gen C values great conversations that are aligned with its own interests
39% aren’t opposed to ads when they are relevant

Gen C eats, sleeps, and breathes the internet across devices. Literally…
91% of Gen C sleeps next to a smartphone
What % of Gen C sleeps next to a smartphone?
Gen C sets the trends and determines what’s going to be popular next, with an influencethat accounts for
$500bnof spending a year in the US alone
…because it is no longer a strategic imperative. It’s just a channel.
Chat is Dead…
