Malls Live: The UK’s leading malls video network
Inspiration | Research | Purchase
Unboxing the purchase journey for young audiences, ensuring your brand stories stand out with Malls Live.
Understanding changing consumer behaviour is vital in helping brands to reconnect with shoppers. We’re closely monitoring mobile data to better understand how returning Out of Home audiences are looking, and how young people in particular are eagerly rediscovering malls.
When it comes to connecting with today’s young generation of consumers, now more than ever, brand stories stand out when you think big. You’ve got something new to say, a story to tell, a product to sell? Online and social media help make it happen, but why stick with thinking small?
We’ve undertaken new research into the purchase journey of Gen Z and Millennials, uncovering insights into how they seamlessly navigate between physical and digital touchpoints, and the standout role that malls and Digital Out of Home plays.
Our Malls Live network has grown to become the UK’s biggest. It’s the perfect platform for brands to reach out and reconnect with young shoppers; complementing online and social campaigns across the purchase journey.
The new research study explores the following:
- A common purchase journey for Gen Z and Millennials.
- Retail spaces and malls play a big part in this purchase journey; not just as a point of purchase, but also as a resource for inspiration and research both on and offline.
- Malls Live advertising plays a standout role, perfectly complementing and competing with other digital media channels that also feature as part of this consumer journey.
Standout insights
Here are some key insights from the study, built around our consumer journey framework of Inspiration, Research and Purchase.

In order to influence the purchase journey across all touchpoints, brands need to think big, beyond online and social media…
