Advertising & Digital Fluency
A Study in Partnership with Hulu
Given the outdated digital native/digital immigrant model, how could Hulu gain a more nuanced understanding of modern audiences’ relationships to technology? And what does this more detailed model mean for how brands digitally connect with audiences?
The Study
In partnership with Hulu, we used a multi-step approach to develop this new model which included:
A qualitative inquiry to explore behaviors and attitudes towards technology, media, and brands
An interactive activity in Lumiere, using video as a proxy to explore people's digital identity
A scalable quantitative survey to understand how brands can best activate across the spectrum of digital fluency.
We then performed a formal segmentation on this data, to arrive at a new model for digital fluency.
