THE NEW DIGITAL AMERICAN FAMILY
Who is the American family? Gone are the days of the "Leave it to Beaver" family model as today's families are smaller, older, and diverse. Families with children in the household are shrinking and a majority of families are becoming multicultural. The New American Family is connected, not only are they consuming media differently via social media sites, online, online video, mobile, television, and DVR's but also they are more educated on their purchasing decisions. Now that traditional assumptions about the typical family no longer apply, and new digital touch points influence every stage of their purchase decision journey, how do marketers adapt?
Join The Nielsen Company as they quantify the importance of the "New American Family" by exploring the demographic characteristics, trends and roles in this new family structure and how this influences their purchasing and media behaviors today and in the future.
