Webboh

Webboh Lab, the first permanent observatory on Gen Z born from Webboh‘s meeting with the Sylla research institute, involved 15,000 teenagers, aged between 14 and 17, to collect opinions, behaviours and perceptions regarding the topic of glass recycling and the use of packaging created with this material. The survey, conducted by Webboh Lab for CoReVe – the national consortium for the collection, recycling and recovery of glass packaging waste in Italy – highlighted some key points of interest.

VIRTUOUS BEHAVIOUR AND AWARENESS

The survey showed that three out of four teenagers (more than 76%) always separate glass, while only 5% said they rarely or never do it. Of these: 38% do not separate glass because they don’t think about it, 21% have someone to do it for them and 14% believe there is not enough information about recycling.

Glass recycling is very common among teenagers, as they generally prefer the use of glass packaging as it is more sustainable.

Young people are taught correct behaviours, such as separate waste collection, by their parents and schools, making it a recognised and widespread practice. Most interviewees believe that the good example of others and more information can motivate us to improve the collection of glass.

The data analysed also showed that two out of three teenagers (67%) are aware of the possibility of endlessly recycling glass without losing quality, while 65% of them are aware that incandescent bulbs and crystal glasses cannot be recycled together with ordinary glass. Finally, 85% of young people know that recycling a glass bottle reduces air pollution by 20% compared to that produced to make a new one.

As regards behaviour in Italy, 56.8% of interviewees believe that Italians pay enough attention to separating glass and that it is very important to do so (70.9%). 60% of children think that in 10 years glass recycling will be more widespread and 74.7% are in favour of penalising those who do not separate glass from other waste.

GROUPS:

Expansion of the answers obtained with respect to issues related to glass recycling and environmental sustainability has made it possible to identify four groups of adolescents with similar answers on in-depth topics.

Proactive recyclers (34%)
They are young people with a strong pragmatic and proactive tendency towards glass recycling, and are highly motivated and hands on as regards the actions taken. They attach great importance to protecting the environment and reducing pollution: they are extremely aware of the environmental issue and are convinced that recycling glass is a great help. In general, they are consistent in their behaviour towards sustainability, consumption choices and daily practices of waste separation, reuse and recycling of materials. They actively correct other people’s incorrect behaviour and they also agree to sanction those who do not separate their waste. They ask for more information to encourage separate waste collection and the virtuous example of influencers and famous people.

Recycling utilitarians (28%)
Teenagers in this group focus on the functional and utilitarian aspects of recycling, but they are much less motivated when it comes to issues related to environmental sustainability. They recognise the importance of glass as a material that is not harmful to the ecosystem and are familiar with recycling bins. Despite this, they are not particularly motivated by the concept of recycling or by the environmental impact that it may have. They are a little less virtuous as regards separating glass than the average person. To stimulate recycling, they propose economic incentives and are against the introduction of penalties for those who do not separate their waste.

Recycling theorists (23%)
Those that are disenchanted with recycling and are the least interested in the issues of recycling and the environment.
They reveal a more poetic and symbolic vision of glass, attaching a special value to its purity and its capacity for rebirth, however, they are less virtuous in separate waste collection, finding it complicated and demanding and remaining less sensitive to the issue of environmental sustainability in general. They claim to be motivated to recycle glass for its infinite reuse but are less concerned with practical details, such as using the correct bins or removing caps.

Poets of transformation (15%)
The young people belonging to this group are very involved in the issues of environmental sustainability and are very aware of related issues. They differ from the first group, the proactive recyclers, for their more romantic and idealistic vision: they see glass as a poetic and special material, and they prefer glass packaging for its unique characteristics. They are the most informed about correct glass recycling practices. They recycle much more than the average person, they are in favour of any incentive that promotes the dissemination of good practices and they are also in favour of penalties for those who do not separate glass correctly. Finally, they adopt, in general, a sustainable lifestyle and feel like active protagonists, attaching importance to the correct management of glass, since they are motivated by the environmental value of recycling.

“The survey is very interesting and allows us to understand what young people think and how they behave,” stated Gianni Scotti, President of CoReVe. “In general, there is alignment among children between environmentally sustainable behaviour, environmental awareness and glass recycling. Almost all of them – as many as 90% – think that the climate crisis is a serious matter and that glass recycling is a fundamental part of reducing pollution. But CoReVe’s challenge is speaking to the 5% that rarely recycle to make it clear what a waste of environmental and economic resources it is not to recycle glass properly. The work we are doing with influencers, creators, schools and territories goes precisely in this direction. Italy’s good recycling rate is, in fact, not taken for granted but must be maintained and, if possible, improved. This is why it is essential to know what Gen Z thinks and what behaviours they adopt,” Scotti concluded.

“This research has attracted a lot of interest among children, it is a generation that is well informed on and aware of environmental issues. The analysis of the data allowed us to identify 4 groups of teenagers with similar answers to the in-depth topics, each with a different leaning towards glass recycling. This has made it possible to collect very targeted information for the customer,” says Furio Camillo, Scientific Director for Sylla. “Webboh Lab confirms itself as a very effective tool for the strategy, marketing and communication of brands and companies that find an interesting target in Gen Z.”

Webboh is the flagship media for Gen Z. Created in April 2019, it has been part of Mondadori Media since February 2023. It currently has a fanbase of 4.5 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and WhatsApp, 70% of which are under 24. The website receives 3 million unique monthly users (source: Audiweb last quarter 2024). It is in the top ten most influential Italian media companies on social media, as well as the first targeting Gen Z for engagement and video views (source: Italian Top Media Rankings for First Communication made by Sensemakers). The topicality, authenticity and interest generated by the content is guaranteed by a bottom-up editorial model: the community is involved in every part of the creative process.

Webboh Lab, a partnership between Webboh and the Sylla research institute, with Scientific Director, Professor Furio Camillo, is the first Permanent Observatory on Gen Z. Webboh Lab’s commitment is to gather the voice of the younger generation, investigate and explore issues to convey them to those who make decisions for them, the adults of tomorrow.

There’s been great success for Webboh, Italy’s number one media brand for the younger generation with a digital audience of 4.5 million followers, which closes the summer with record numbers.
Eight events in the area, all sold out, more than 50 Gen Z idols on stage at the events organised around Italy, more than 20,000 kids who took part in the eagerly awaited shows, registering significant results, and on social media with 100 million reaches and more than 1.5 million interactions.
These are results that confirm Webboh ‘s extraordinary ability to involve young people with activities that can create meaningful moments of sharing and fun. This isn’t only on social and live, but also with initiatives continuing in September to tackle the back-to-school period.

Webboh Fest: three legs sold out
Webboh Fest, a music festival – unique in Italy in terms of format and audience success – designed to bring together young people with the most followed idols on social networks, was held on three legs from July to September (Giulianova, Rimini, Mirandola). It starred singers Rosa Chemical, Sarah Toscano, El Matador, Aka 7even, Serena Brancale, Emma Muscat, Vyperr, Pucho, Valerio Mazzei and many others. Also present were the latest, trendiest creators, including Lisa Luchetta, Alberto Tozzi, Alice and Giorgia Mordenti, Kingash, together with Acapodelglobo and Arienne Make-Up, both from the Power Talent Agency roster.

An unforgettable week in close contact with five creators (a total of 4 million followers on TikTok alone): Alberto Tozzi, Jenni Serpi, Sara Esposito, singer Luk3 and the face of Webboh, Claudia Mariani.
But the Camp was more than just fun. The kids enjoyed a digital education with Alessio Carciofi, one of Europe’s leading experts on digital well-being. Here too, reporting on the holiday was entrusted toDeAKids cameras.

Webboh Fun at AquaFan in Riccione
Just like last year, the four dates of Webboh Fun at Aquafan (11 July, 25 July, 8 August, 22 August, at the Walky Cup at Aquafan in Riccione) turned out to be a success. At each leg, in addition to the show on stage, spectators participated in exclusive meet and greets with guests (singers and creators) with whom they could take a photo. Among the talents involved were: Acapodelglobo, Rimoldigno, Lisa Luchetta, Matteo Robert, Alberto Tozzi, Pucho, Luk3 and Ascanio, Lorenz Simonetti.

Activities with brand partners
Webboh’s summer initiatives offered brand partners additional business opportunities with diversified branded content solutions. These include five smartphone covers – each suited to a different mood – created by the Webboh community in collaboration with La Casa de Las Carcasas. The covers, launched on 5 September, were presented on 6 September during the Mirandola leg of Webboh Fest, and are on sale online and in stores.

The first two Webboh Fest legs had Webboh coordinating and working in collaboration with Brand On Solutions, Mediamond’s project area, along with cosnova Italia with essence, a well-known cosmetics brand, with the essence Spring-Summer 2024 collection and the participation of acapodelglobo and Arienne Makeup from the Power Talent Agencyroster.

Back to school: the BE YOU Webboh diary and backpack and many other activities
After the summer events, Webboh is there for the very young as they start the new school year with numerous products and various initiatives.
The BE YOU Webboh Diary, produced in collaboration with BE YOU, now in its third edition, is so successful every year that it sold out in a few days in various stores and online shops. Created together with the community, it contains more than 100 stickers, over 40 special ‘against boredom’ pages for break times, the birthdays of the best-loved creators and a brand new ‘treasure hunt’. Launched in June, it’s distributed in shopping centres, bookstores, stationery stores, and online.

Webboh and Astra Make-Up are working together again, after a successful project for the 2024 Webboh Awards, for the back-to-school period. The focus for this initiative is the Astra Skin line, dedicated to skincare and beauty routines, and the launch of two new products: a Face Make-up Remover Balm and a Face Gel Cream. The initiative includes a structured publishing plan on Webboh’s social channels, and also on the website, as well as the initiative for Arianna Madonna, the face of the community, and content creator Lisa Luchetta, already the winner of the Best Teen Idol – Female category at the 2024 Webboh Awards.

From 18 September, a new collaboration with Inter-studioviaggi (in coordination and collaboration with Brand On Solutions/Mediamond) will start on Webboh’s TikTok channel. The star of this initiative will be Anaïs Mariani, TikToker and Ambassador of Inter-studioviaggi, who will meet with Arianna Madonna, one of the faces of Webboh, to talk about her experience of Year Abroad. The opportunities offered by a school year abroad will be illustrated: a unique opportunity for an exceptional educational experience.

Webboh Lab, the first permanent observatory on Gen Z emerging from a meeting between Webboh and the Sylla research institute, has partnered with Farmitalia (with the support of Brand On Solutions/Mediamond) to conduct a survey via an online smart poll involving 500 young Italians aged between 14 and 17. The results provide a picture of the perceptions, knowledge and doubts of younger generations regarding sexuality and contraception in Italy.

Webboh Lab, the first permanent observatory on Gen Z stemming from an encounter between Webboh and the Sylla research institute, has partnered with Farmitalia to conduct a survey via an online smart poll involving 500 young Italians aged between 14 and 17. The results provide a picture of the perceptions, knowledge and doubts of younger generations regarding sexuality and contraception in Italy.

The results show how the very young face a lot of exposure to these issues, which is also attributed to the numerous information channels available, and how they would like to experience sex education in general, that is, with fewer taboos and more clarity.

How Gen Z stays informed

The details of the data collected by Webboh Lab show that the sources most consulted by respondents are friends (53.4%) and social media (46%), followed by school (43.2%) and the Internet (40.4%). The family is in fifth place with 27.6%, while doctors and advice centres are mentioned by only 5.6% of young people.

Sex education at school

 Sex education at school is considered a key issue by the very young. They would like it to be addressed more, with particular emphasis on certain aspects:

• sexually transmitted diseases (importance score: 8.47/10);
• relationships, affection and partner consent (score: 8.40/10);
• contraceptive methods (score: 7.81/10);
• anatomy of the human body (score: 7.78/10).

Gen Z’s suggetions for better information

The Webboh Lab smart pool also showed that the way in which this issue is dealt with could be improved through various initiatives. Besides more school involvement (score 8.36/10), the main activities identified by respondents were:

• counselling services (score 7.87/10);
• discussions with adults (score 7.59/10);
• access to reliable online resources (score 7.49/10).

Contraceptive methods

The survey also highlighted condoms as the most popular method of contraception among Gen Z (98.2%), followed by the pill (88.4%). Much more limited knowledge is found, however, for IUDs (49.3%) and coitus interruptus (17%).

Emergency contraception: the concept of emergency contraception is familiar to 44.2% of young people. More specifically,86% know about the morning-after pill, while only 41.8% know about the five-day-after pill. The main sources of information for emergency contraception include:

• Internet (25.1%);
• social media (24.4%);
• school (15.6%):
• friends (12.4%):
• family (6.9%).

Furthermore, 23.9% of young respondents admitted to knowing someone who had used the morning-after pill, while only 8.3% knew someone who had used the five-day-after pill.

The research shows a clear need for a more integrated approach to sex education involving not only schools, but also counselling services and families.

Webboh Lab, which came about after a meeting between Webboh (4 million followers on social media) and the Sylla research institute, directed by Furio Camillo, is the first permanent observatory on Gen Z. Webboh Labs is committed to hearing the voice of the younger generation, investigating and exploring their issues and bringing them to the table of people making decisions for them, the adults of tomorrow.

For World Earth Day, Webboh Lab, the first permanent digital observatory of Gen Z, interviewed Webboh’s young audience on issues related to the mobility of the future.

The research was conducted using the psychometric approach, analysing motivations, perceptions and value aspects related to emotions, in order to understand young people’s involvement with mobility and sustainability issues.

The survey, which involved almost 9,300 respondents from young Italians aged between 12 and 20, revealed 5 identikits:

• Independent Navigator (27%): these are young urbanites who prefer autonomy and personal convenience in mobility. They generally prefer cheap parking spaces, are in favour of incentives for electric cars and scooters and support the use of sharing systems. They support affordable public transport and advocate teaching money management in schools. Finally, they promote inclusive and language services.
• Green Pathfinders (20%): these are progressive, sustainable and social integration-oriented young people. They prefer collective mobility and are more interested in policies related to sustainability and education, like free public transport for students, which they see as part of the social and educational fabric of the city. They reject incentives for cars and scooters and the expansion of sharing systems, instead favouring sustainable mobility solutions and investments in public transport. Finally, they promote financial education in schools.
• Urban Optimiser (19%): this group favours a wider range of measures to improve urban mobility. They support the use of public transport for cultural and sporting activities, promote its free use and would like it to be more active after sunset. They favour incentives for electric cars and scooters, but also support the use of shared transport for more environmentally friendly transport solutions. Finally, they value accessible mobility services, including those with language support.
• Local Boosters (18%): this group supports the local economy, small businesses and accessible public services. They support offering free tickets for public transport and language support for an inclusive community. They oppose financial education in schools and transport sharing. Policies such as public transport after sunset or access to parks and cycle paths are not priorities for Local Boosters.
• Community Curator (16%): this group falls into the category of urban youth, but are focused on more sustainable, community-centred and inclusive mobility. They support shared mobility, promote access to parks and cycle paths, and encourage using public transport for cultural and sporting activities. They are involved in supporting local shops and small businesses and support school policies on money management.

The survey showed that 2 out of 3 respondents don’t really cycle and admitted that they never (43%) use it to get around or only do so less than once a week. The situation would be different if cyclists were made safer in the city by improving cycle paths (39%), fixing potholes in the streets (38.5%) and reducing delinquency (30%).

Furio Camillo, Professor of Business Statistics at the University of Bologna and Scientific Director of the Webboh Lab, said: “Although in many cases young people’s vision will have to be liberalist and individualist, it starts from an approach that puts the common good and the growth of a society that respects diversity and favours public spending at the centre of everything, perhaps finally returning to discuss public investment for the future of our young generations”.

The 5 clusters, identified using Webboh Lab’s psychographic approach, show a generation of young people demanding a change in mobility and liveability in the city, made up of people rather than means in relation to each other.

Although public transport is the preferred solution, more flexible transport solutions are needed, perhaps favouring and incentivising sharing solutions. Young people who favour these choices embody an individualistic approach to city life, choosing solutions that allow personal independence and economic convenience, but always with a view to maximising social and environmental efficiency. On the other hand, there are groups where public transport is crucial, but always with a view to efficient mobility as well as collective sustainability.

The nod to a given territory is also very interesting: one typology in particular boosts local business and production activities, encouraging a way of life that allows inclusion and multiculturalism. Semantic affinity analyses with local policies throughout Italy could detect which ideas, initiatives, programmes and campaigns best match the 5 types of young people.

Webboh Lab, which came about after a meeting between Webboh (4 million followers on social media) and the Sylla research institute with Furio Camillo as its scientific director, is the first permanent observatory on Gen Z. Webboh Labs is committed to hearing the voice of the younger generation, investigating and exploring their issues and bringing them to the table of people making decisions for them, the adults of tomorrow.

For the first time this year, Webboh – a Mondadori Media brand and Italy’s first community dedicated to Gen Z – played a leading role during the week in Sanremo with the Marlù Webboh Vibes: the 20-hour fun-filled happening show created together with Marlù – a well-known jewellery brand born from the creative initiative and partnership of sisters Morena, Monica and Marta Fabbri. It had an incredible response from the on and offline audience and the participation at the event by all the top singers and creators that Gen Z loves the most.

RECORD NUMBERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Astonishing data from the social media profiles that have achieved to date almost 20 million reaches, 13 million video views and 5 million total interactions: on the final night alone Webboh entered the top five most viewed social media accounts with over 1 million interactions (source: First Communication, Sensemakers’ ranking).

The website Webboh.it also saw more than 1.6 million page visits, thanks to its continuous news coverage, stories and backstage insight, which is a +12% increase compared to 2023. The digital coverage, aimed specifically at Generation Z, benefited from 100 pieces of content published on Instagram and TikTok, including posts, news on the website and exclusive video interviews with the singers in the competition, and over 81 thousand teams registered in Webboh’s FantaSanremo League.

THE HAPPENING SHOW

An exclusive schedule, full of events and original content, including five days dedicated to raising awareness on value issues dear to Gen Z (green issues, bullying and cyberbullying, eating disorders, LGTBQ+, animal abandonment), which took place on the stage of the truck transformer inside the Festival Village in the Villa Ormond Park. The happening show brought in thousands of attendees and 70 guests, including such singers as Annalisa, Alfa, and Ghali along with Rich Ciolino, Clara, Albe, Irama, Il Volo, Il Tre, Mr. Rain, Fred De Palma and creators from the Power Talent Agency like Arienne Makeup, acapodelglobo, Gianmarco Zagato, Diletta Begali, Giulia Bellu, Ramon Agnelli and Ella’s Books as well as other talents like Valerio Mazzei, Bella Gianda and Space Family.

Also on stage were special guests like José Sebastiani, son of Amadeus, who was a guest on the show for several days, Leo Gassman as an ambassador for Bulli Stop for the day dedicated to the fight against bullying, and creators Joey and Rina, Valeria Angione, NewMartina, Papà per Scelta, Lisa Luchetta, Giulia Penna, Elena Hazinah, as well as Enzo Miccio, the reigning Miss Italia  Francesca Bergesio, and Lorenz Simonetti as a regular guest, who created La canzone di tutti, Marley, the civil protection superhero, already a guest at the Festival, and many other celebrities.

The “Unplugged – Spazio al talento” show, presented by Andrea Prada along with Gen Z’s favourite faces, was a great success, with over 60 established and up-and-coming singers, including Valerio Mazzei, Cricca, Federico Baroni, Niveo and Crytical from Amici, as well as the winner of Io Canto Generation, Marta Viola, Pucho and million stream artists like Diego Lazzari, Random, Nashley, Luk3 and many other young singers. Each of them received a plaque of recognition from Marlù with a QR code with the video of their performance.

VALUE-RELATED INITIATIVES

On 7 February, special guests took the stage: director Giovanni Nasta and producer Simona Gobbi, who presented the short film Paracadute produced by Versus, Lupin Film and Simona Gobbi, with the collaboration of Marlù. The film deals with the topic of bullying in an original way from an unconventional point of view.

Webboh and Marlù also reiterated their commitment to value issues. As part of the Words Can Make a Difference initiative, both the audience in attendance and those at home on social media, were asked to leave a word on a virtual blackboard. The young creator and singer-songwriter Lorenz Simonetti then transposed the most significant phrases musically, creating a song entitled La Canzone di tutti, presented on Saturday, 10 February on the last day of the event.

The collaboration between Webboh and Marlù, made possible thanks to the Brand On Solutions team, the unit dedicated to special initiatives by Mediamond, the Mondadori and Mediaset advertising company, is a true integrated partnership that – from the naming of the event to the creative concept, to the coordinated image across all communication channels, to the boosting on all the social media of Webboh and the creators involved – aims to reach and raise awareness among the wider Gen Z audience with exclusive value-based content created ad hoc.

In order to maximise communication to promote the Marlù Webboh Vibes event, Mondadori Media involved social media, the Webboh brand website and the Mondadori Media network, the creators and talent of Power Talent Agency, as well as overseeing attendees in collaboration with the Villaggio del Festival, sponsored by the City of Sanremo, both inside the Village and on giant screens positioned in strategic parts of the city.

It presents a new way of thinking and creating fashion accessories and offering exclusive creations and products to anyone wishing to wear something unique and personal. Marlù’s strong presence in Italy has developed into a network of proprietary retail shops through single-brand stores in Riccione, Naples, Catania, Bari, Molfetta, Caserta, Trapani, Matera, Rome, Florence, Rimini, Bologna, Verona, Parma Piacenza, Reggio Emilia, Palermo and Milan. Today, the Marlù group has more than 400 employees, a distribution network of nearly 50 single-brand shops and more than 1400 multi-brand shops including corners and spaces

During the week for the 74th edition of the Sanremo Festival, Webboh, the first Italian community dedicated to Gen Z, asked its audience to vote for the competing singers and choose their favourite song, using an instant survey on its Instagram channel and produced by Webboh Lab, which more than 15,000 under 25s responded to in just 24 hours.

According to Gen Z, the undisputed winning song of the 74th edition of the Italian Music Festival is “I p’ me, tu p’ te” by Geolier, a Neapolitan singer, a leading artist on the Italian rap scene, much loved by Gen Z with lyrics written and sung in his city’s dialect, Neapolitan. The song is about the sweet feelings experienced after the end of a romance.

According to under 25s, this is the top five of the Sanremo Festival 2024:

1. Geolier – I p’ me, tu p’ te
2. Mahmood – Tuta Gold
3. Annalisa – Sinceramente
4. Alfa – Vai!
5. Irama – Tu no

AMADEUS BELOVED BY GEN Z: THEY WANT HIM BACK IN THE NEXT EDITION

Interesting data emerged from the instant survey, and not only on the musical tastes of young people: Amadeus’ hosting is once again proving to be a winner for 96% of those interviewed, and 93% would like him to host the next edition of the Festival as well.

SANREMO ISN’T JUST THE ITALIAN FESTIVAL; IT’S ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO DISCOVER NEW ARTISTS

Unexpectedly, 83% of young people followed the music event on television on RAI, and 60% considered it something special that they wanted to experience with friends and family, confirming that the music festival continues to be a great group event for Italians, who increasingly use the Festival to discover new artists (85%).
