BRIEF

1. 1 BRIEF With the rise in youth concerns about meaningful action for issues such as climate change, empowerment of equitable and inclusive societies, how can we partner with VICE to explore the future of social impact media that shares new ideas, connects action driven initiatives and drives behaviour change at scale? How might we redefine advertising and marketing to youth?

VICE ORBIT

STARTING POINT

1. 2 OUR APPROACH VICE MEDIA GROUP IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO PREDICT WHERE CULTURE IS GOING NEXT COMMUNITY Insights from our global network of artists and creators. We access real stories by speaking with the minds that hold them.

CULTURE

To understand the media landscape, and Vice's positioning and delve deeper into the problem statement provided to us by VICE, we referred to their culture guide. We found that the problem statement could be approached by dividing into the 4 main buckets defined by VICE. After careful consideration, our team decided to focus on the consumer - GenZ; and Content - News.

Insights from those immersed in culture around the world.

Our Editors, Producers, Creators, and Talent across 26 offices and with 26 direct perspective from around the globe.

CONSUMER Insights from ongoing dialogue wuth VMG's audience and youth around the world, VICE Voices, Mad chatter, VMG Youth Census, Reader Polls, Voicemails, UGC, etc. We ask what they think, and then we make it for them.

CONTENT Insights from how our audience engages with VMG across platforms: content analytics, topic analysis, search terms, reader comments, topic adjacencies, campaign analytics, etc.

EXPLORING HOW VICE CAN BE A DISRUPTOR IN NONENTERTAINMENT MEDIA AND MEDIATE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GENZ AND NEWS THAT RESULTS IN MEANINGFUL CONSUMPTION AND EMPOWERING ACTION.

STARTING POINT

1. 3 PROJECT SNAPSHOT Over the span of 15 weeks, we delved into the research, spoke to several GenZ, the clients and experts, mapped opportunity areas, ideated, prototyped, and tested various solutions. What emerged from this design process is captured in the following five key points.

GenZ is overwhelmed with the current News Landscape They seek quick and dynamic information revolving around the topics they care about most We propose VICE Orbits - a dynamic form of NFT that becomes an ecosystem of information that truly engages GenZ. VICE Orbits ould solves for content and channel fragmentation VICE Orbits has the potential to enable a community of GenZ that has the agency to choose what they read, thereby promoting a culture of meaningful consumption

OUR STATS In order to build empathy and understand both VICE and GenZ better, we started with initial desk research, which was then followed up with surveys and in-depth qualitative research with the means of a culture probe. We also spoke to experts in the field of news and journalism to get an understanding of the media landscape.

ASSUMPTIONS FROM INITIAL RESEARCH Content consumption patterns and preferred platforms change with generation.

Seeking in-person and immersive experiences, intentional decrease in social media use.

Vice will need to be involved in the new narratives of technology to be relevant.

Youth - aware and inclined to make more environmental, social, and wellbeing conscious choices, this will affect how they interact with tech and media too.

MAPPING AREAS TO EXPLORE How might we help newer generations of consumers build a relationship with Vice Media (while also maintaining ones with previous generations)?

How might we forecast the upcoming channel trends for Vice to stay relevant with the advancement of technology?

We designed the culture probe as a means to gather qualitative data The probe consisted of 5 prompts, delivered to our GenZ respondents using Whatsapp over the course of 5 days With the culture probe, we hoped to get an insight into the lives of GenZ over an extended period of time Each probe was followed up with a short conversation that helped us understand the reasoning behind their answers.

The culture probe was designed to be dynamic, with each prompt being developed or modified based on the response from the previous prompt.

2.4 INSIGHTS Insights enable us to accurately grasp Gen Z's demands and desires when developing concepts. We categorized clues from our research to learn how this generation values their demands, considered how we could better the design problem, and examined how they could be used to shape the solution.

REPORT 2022

VICE ORBIT

RESEARCH & INSIGHTS

CONTENT CONSUMPTION IS AN OVERWHELMING EXPERIENCE FOR GEN Z "News is insightful, but sometimes, it feels too much."

With an ocean of content being bombarded at GenZ from multiple platforms; and culture of mindless scrolling, there is a rising trend of content fatigue. GenZ is not only distressed with the kind of troubling headlines they come across but also the way they come across it. Furthermore with algorithms controlling a person's feed, it takes away their agency of making choices about what they should read and what they should care about.

REPORT 2022

VICE ORBIT

RESEARCH & INSIGHTS

THERE IS A DESIRE FOR QUICK AND DYNAMIC INFORMATION "Articles and news posts are useful but in today's world, when everything happens so quickly and we are constantly being bombarded with new information, it is easier to receive this information in a quick, dynamic way."

Building on the previous insight, we noticed the desire for access to information that is rapid and engaging. TikTok emerged as one of the most preferred platforms due to its engaging reels format that is bite-sized in nature.

REPORT 2022

VICE ORBIT

RESEARCH & INSIGHTS

CONTENT SHARING HAS ULTERIOR MOTIVES "The incentive to produce content is to earn money, AND Power or influence over followers so how can we trust that news media is any different."

There is a lack of trust amongst GenZ when it comes to information.

This stems from the fact that GenZ's primary source of information is social media, where the spread of misinformation is rampant.

Especially with platforms like Instagram and TikTok; and the rise of influencer culture, it becomes difficult for GenZ to discern what is fact vs what is a personal opinion.

REPORT 2022

VICE ORBIT

RESEARCH & INSIGHTS

RELATIONSHIPS ARE VALUED MOST "I thought about how short life can be and how important it is to nourish and take care of our relationships"

For a lot of our GenZ respondents consuming news was a way to keep themselves updated with information about their communities. It was also a way to build new communities through information exchange. The things they care about push them to seek out information related to those topics, which further helps them connect with like-minded peers.

REPORT 2022

VICE ORBIT

RESEARCH & INSIGHTS

HUMOR AS A COPING MECHANISM "The biggest thing that sets GenZ apart from other generations is that we deal with scary and serious issues with humor."

At difficult times, humor has come as a respite for GenZ, bringing a sense of levity to something that is otherwise too complex to deal with. They seek out this humor to be able to comprehend the situation and deal with it. However, there is a certain hesitancy about being open with dark humor due to the fear of not being 'politically correct' and coming across as offensive.

REPORT 2022

VICE ORBIT

RESEARCH & INSIGHTS

WAYFINDING THROUGH CHANNELS IS CONFUSING "I feel overwhelmed with the number of outlets covering different kinds of news; I feel like I have to keep jumping from one to another just keep myself informed about the things I want to know."

WIth multiple channels on social media, and different media companies covering different kinds of content, it becomes hard for GenZ to reach the content they really care about. More often than not, they lose interest before they even get to it, thus losing engagement.

REPORT 2022

VICE ORBIT

RESEARCH & INSIGHTS

2.5 WHAT WE LEARNT With the numerous platform and channel option, where new content appears by the second, algorithms deciding what uses view first, and attention being captured by short format motion visuals. Non-entertainment information is easily missed. In order to appeal to GenZ the concept of news needs to be reframed, in other words breaking news (as we know it).

So we considered key distinguishing factors that help in formulating the VICE - GenZ relationship: What is true for VICE? What is true for GenZ? and What is true for the virtual world?

VICE offers unique perspective on issues, a range of content across multiple platforms, yet remains undiscovered by GenZ. They need to filter through noise to find the information they need and current formats are not capturing their attention, For GenZ to be invested, information needs to be true, authentic, and relevant to feed into their curiosities but also dynamic, quick and easy to consume, and most importantly support them in reclaiming agency.

Users are suggested channels that tap directly into their interests but are currently easily missed.

Content swiping - a gamified approach to empowering users, displaying stories they are interested in and keeping them engaged longer.

A deep learning algorithm will display relevant content based on user preference and constantly improving suggestions.

This type of consumption also generates insights on user engagement and content preference.

MULTI FORMAT CONTENT Adding a 'Listen to' and 'Key Takeaways' option with VICE articles.

When the eyes are busy but the mind is idle, more users are leaning into audio formats like podcasts, audio clips. Audio options are also inclusive for people with visual impairments.

Most of our research participants have admitted that they read the news only by the headline, adding key takeaways summarises the information without needing behavioral change on the part of the user.

VICE VISION A visual search tool that uses its understanding of objects in the picture to find other relevant results from VICE's metadata generating several possible results and ranking the probable relevance of each result.
