17. IN MY SHOES…
To be a millennial is to hear constantly about how awful your generation is.
And to feel the need to agree, kind of politely.
Because you want that person to hire you.
20. MILLENNIALS AT WORK
• Want to do something that is challenging
• Many millennials don’t think their skills are utilized
• Want to work for a purpose/cause
• 6 in 10 millennials said a cause is the reason they choose their job
• Want to contribute to the greater good

prescription for success, starting with a college degree, they’d be on a
track to profitable careers and respected roles in American society.”

the go from our phone)

35. OUTBOUND MARKETING IS OUT
• Each person absorbs around 2000 outbound marketing messages per
day. What’s our response?
• Creative ways to block: caller ID, spam filtering, TiVo/DVR, satellite
radio, NetFlix, Spotify, etc.
• Millennials are most likely to follow these trends

Millennials are most loyal to businesses that improve their customers’
lives with informative content.

• Often times through non-traditional media channels
39. TACO BELL
• Started millennial “Word of the Day” campaign, to speak
millennials language
• IDEA: People ages 18 to 34 will perk up when hearing or reading
words that could have come from the mouths of their peers, as these
messages warrant comfort and trust.

next evolution of communicating!

the cool experience itself!

actually real!—Millennials on your fairgrounds

YouTube
