while half in Japan say they NEVER share content.
Why do users share content and what type of content do users share? 
Why: 
Top reasons for sharing: to promote a cause or issue (36%) and to 
stay in touch with people (34%). Very few, with notable exceptions in 
Hong Kong and China, also say that they post content because it 
makes them look smart. The top two reasons apply to most countries, 
except for those in Hong Kong and China who also mention that 
sharing content “helps define their personality” as another top reason.

Key Takeaway 
The focus should be on producing HIGH QUALITY content that has 
the following characteristics: 
1.Helps address an issue or cause the public is passionate about. 
2.Is both informational and humorous; “edutainment” is the sweet 
spot here.
2: Emotions behind the share
18
19 
Do Emotions Affect Whether We Share? 
61% say they are most likely to share content when they come across 
something newsworthy, less so because they are in a good mood (21%) 
or bored (13%). 
Hong Kong social media 
users stand out here: the 
top reason for sharing 
content is because they 
are in a good mood. 
Japanese users are 
the only group with a 
large portion saying 
they are most likely to 
share content when 
they are bored. 
Across all countries, 
very few say that 
they share content 
because they feel 
sad or lonely.

Chinese social media users differ here - their 
top emotion is creative. 
Few feel unique when sharing content, except

23 
Do people engage with branded content?

content or ads, but only a quarter do so on a regular basis. 
Across the globe, three quarters of respondents would rate the 
quality of ads as average to poor. 
77%

is average to 
poor

What About the Content Source? 
The content source isn’t particularly important, except in China, Korea, 
and Turkey where content produced by established media outlets takes 
precedence. Further, the top-of-mind companies and organizations that 
produce the most interesting content are not the traditional content 
producers. Ads from food, beverage, and clothing along with established 
media organizations are mentioned less frequently than “clearinghouses 
for content” like Google and Facebook. 
40% 
Say source doesn’t 
matter,as long as it’s 
interesting
29 
While Content Source Is Not Important In Most Countries, There 
Are A Few Exceptions 
Emerging markets are more likely to share content from a friend than 
mature markets (27% vs 19%). 
Social media users in the Asian countries surveyed are more likely to 
share content from established media than the European markets 
surveyed (27% vs 19%).

Key Takeaways 
Focus on producing HIGH QUALITY content. To get noticed, it is even 
more important to produce high quality content in emerging markets in 
what is viewed by social media users as a space overcrowded with ads. 
When thinking about the audience, focus less on media attention and 
more on the everyday person. 
The content source, individual companies, and brands aren’t as 
important, but where people can find content is.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Companies and content producers have an opportunity to get their message across to even more people. Focus on producing HIGH QUALITY content that helps address an issue or cause the public is passionate about that is both informational and humorous—“edutainment” is the sweet spot. When thinking about the audience, focus less on attracting media attention and more on the everyday person. The content source, individual company, or brand isn’t as important, but where they can find content is. One size does not fit all: Strategies for targeting emerging markets should differ from mature markets. Content for emerging markets should focus on entertainment or humor, while content in mature markets should focus on helpful information. Social media users in emerging markets report that they are overwhelmed with ads. To get noticed, these markets need to produce high quality content.
  2. Social media is a part of everyday life. Almost half of the respondents with social media profiles report being active sharers of content on social media. KEY TAKEAWAY: Companies and content producers have an opportunity to get their message across to even more people.
  3. Mini-trend of emerging markets (China, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey) being the biggest sharers.
  4. MINI TREND: Both the most active and least active users are in Asia: four in ten (41%) in Hong Kong say they ALWAYS share interesting content online, while half in Japan say they NEVER share content.
  5. Active sharers are twice as likely to cite feeling cool as the main reason for sharing content (11% versus 5% for non-active sharers). They share when content is newsworthy and informative, and prefer that content from organizations they follow on social media is candid.
  6. Also, one size does not fit all: Strategies for targeting emerging markets should be different from mature markets. Content for emerging markets should focus on entertainment or humor, while content in mature markets should focus on helpful information.
  7. Even though social media users say that funny posts result in the most engagement from their fans and followers, they are equally likely to share informational content even though it doesn’t get as big of a reaction.
  8. Summary slide.
  9. About half of social media users (53 percent) find offensive content off-putting, and less than one in five have a negative reaction to ads. • Hong Kong, USA, and Korea react most negatively to ads, with over a quarter of users in each country saying that ads are the most off-putting type of content they see. Offensive content is less off-putting in the Asian countries surveyed, compared to their European counterparts (48 percent versus percent). A similar trend is seen in emerging markets versus mature markets: Six in ten (61 percent) respondents in mature markets say offensive content is the most off-putting, compared to less than half (46 percent) in emerging markets. Surprisingly, few cite the volume of content as the most off-putting, indicating that the amount of content is not a deal breaker.
  10. In general, ad quality is rated as at least good by a majority of users, and a little over half say they read or watch these ads at least half the time. American and Japanese users are most likely to give a lower rating on the quality of branded content and also least likely to watch such content.
  11. Japanese, Mexican, and Korean social media users tend to care the most about brand association, with about a quarter citing this as the primary reason for liking or following organizations. About three in ten Japanese and Polish users say their main reason is to give feedback.
  12. Coke is regularly named as producing great content, part of their “liquid and linked” ambition and focus on content strategy. In the US the main brands are actually publishers and brands appear less prominently. Surprisingly some of the big names in content creation – Red Bull and GoPro – don’t appear as much as we would have expected.
  13. In Asia there’s a high prominence of national companies appearing in the list i.e. SoftBank for Japan and Samsung for Korea. Could be because those companies have a higher profile in that market or could be because there is genuinely stronger content produced for their home country. Tech brands featuring prominently here: Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, Sina, Taobao, Tudou, Google, YouTube.
  14. Less publishers and traditional media companies appear in Asia and Europe than they did in the Americas. Again, national brands appear strongly.
  15. Companies and content producers have an opportunity to get their message across to even more people. Focus on producing HIGH QUALITY content that helps address an issue or cause the public is passionate about that is both informational and humorous—“edutainment” is the sweet spot. When thinking about the audience, focus less on attracting media attention and more on the everyday person. The content source, individual company, or brand isn’t as important, but where they can find content is.
