Imagine knowing your agency cares about your business as much as you do. We are a performance-
driven customer experience agency, dedicated to understanding what matters most to you. Our modern
approach and traditional values are visible throughout every team member and project. Since our
inception in 2010, strategy has been the foundation for the solutions we provide, and forming true
partnerships with clients is our goal. We do search, media, creative, content and UX — but your
business, your customer and your strategy drive it all.

They all are.

They all are.
But would you really market to
these people the same way?

You shouldn’t.

5 reasons to stop marketing to Millennials

5 reasons to stop marketing to Millennials
— and start marketing to your customers —
Ethology.com
1. “Millennial” is a demographic, not a customer
Ethology.com
“Demographics are simplistic and
patronizing, [especially] because
millennials are more diverse and
heterogeneous than any [generation]
before.” — Bryan Melmed
Vice President of Insights Services at ad
intelligence firm Exponential Interactive
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
2. No one agrees about what a “Millennial” even is
Ethology.com
Born between 1980 and 2000.
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
Born between 1980 and 2000.
Or, maybe 1981 to 1996.
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
Born between 1980 and 2000.
Or, maybe 1981 to 1996.
Or, 18 to 33 year olds.
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
Born between 1980 and 2000.
Or, maybe 1981 to 1996.
Or, 18 to 33 year olds.
Or, maybe 16 to 35 year olds.
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
That’s nearly a 20 year age gap.
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
That’s nearly a 20 year age gap.
And not just ANY age gap.
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
Where were you
when you were 16?
What was your biggest concern?
What did you buy?
Who did you care about?
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
What about 35?
What was your biggest concern?
What did you buy?
Who did you care about?
Ethology.com

3. Marketing to “Millennials” is lazy
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
“When you tell a 22-year-old to turn off
the phone, don't ruin the movie, they
hear please cut off your left arm above
the elbow. You can't tell a 22-year-old
to turn off their cellphone. That's not
how they live their life.”
— Adam Aron
AMC Entertainment CEO
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
The Boss Babe
The Brogrammer
The Nostalgic
The Underemployed
The Shut Out
The Travel
Enthusiast
The Culinary Explorer
The Exuberant
The Collector
The Millennial Martha
The Millennial Mom
The Quarter-Life Crisis
Ethology.com
4. The “Millennial” label doesn’t allow for empathy
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
Ethology.com
“22-year-olds aren't alone; heavy cell
phone use is far more widespread.
Today, 68% of U.S. adults have a
smartphone, a staggering increase
from 35% just five years ago.”
— Tim League
Alamo Drafthouse CEO/Founder
Ethology.com
What you hate about “Millennials”
is actually what you hate about
yourself.
— Me

5. Not all “Millennials” are created equal
