Delving into teenagers’ worlds
Tracking Teenage Kicks
Teenagers can be so difficult to talk to sometimes. They won’t open up, or they just mumble something before hurrying off to their bedroom. At least that’s the preconceived notion. We’re not so sure we agree. Channel 4 don’t think so either – and having created programmes that helped define what being a teenager means over the years, they’re the expert here.
So, when they asked us to get closer to young people, we knew we’d have to create something next level to impress and tell them something they didn’t already know. Our response was a truly innovative use of tech: 360º video to film teens in their homes, capturing compelling insight about their lives and what matters to them most – all in a real-life scenario.
The Kids are Alright
How’s this helped our friends at 4? To start, the Channel got a closer connection with one of its main audiences: a deeper understanding of young people in a perspective impossible to gain through traditional research. And what’s more, they used the content as part of an event for advertising partners using virtual reality to let attendees explore the teenage world first hand – positioning Channel 4 as the go-to ad partner for youth audiences.

“For us, Decidedly’s use of VR offers a unique and powerful insight into the lives of young people. This allows us to immerse ourselves in their personal space to gain a perspective previously reserved only for the primary researcher, rather than the end user.”
