Mothers are an incredibly powerful demographic group in the United States and China. Women drive the majority of purchase decisions across a wide range of verticals, including travel, housing, healthcare, food, and automotive. Despite this far-reaching influence, many marketers miss the mark when targeting moms. Why? Sometimes it’s because marketers have an inaccurate understanding of how mothers view their roles, engage online, consume media & content, and purchase products.
