Notes: Among mobile users (smartphone and/or tablet), Millennials (16-34) are far more likely than Gen Xers (35-54) to say they respond to mobile ads in a variety of ways, according to a survey of 4,018 mobile owners aged 16+ in the US, UK, France, and Germany. In fact, almost one-quarter (23%) of Millennials surveyed said that an ad had prompted them to make a purchase, compared to 14% of respondents overall and 13% of Gen Xers. Of note, the survey results indicated that tablets were more likely than smartphones to generate a response from Gen Xers, with the opposite true for Millennials.
