Family Time
Redefined

Family Time Redefined: During the pandemic, consumers are either quarantined with their families and loved ones, or quarantined without them and seeking ways to connect with them. The former group reports increased closeness, while the latter reports planning ways to treat family time like more of an occasion when quarantine is lifted.

The idea of family as a key part of the modern life -- chosen family or otherwise -- has been on the rise in recent years as consumers think more deeply about their identity and personal brand. Additionally, times of volatility have consumers prioritizing a sense of togetherness. This re-prioritization of family time will crystalize during times of chaos, giving way to a more family-focused approach moving forward, and creating a demand for more creative methods of familial bonding.
