Overview of Millennials

So, why is it so hard to reach them?A failure to communicate, based on what Millennialswant as digital natives and how they find information and accomplish tasks

A true “personal problem” for brands and marketers in not focusing on the core behaviors and beliefs of the audience12

They don’t trust you…According to Nielsen’s latest Global Trust in Advertising report, which surveyed more than 28,000Internet respondents in 56 countries

• of consumers say they trust earned media, such as recommendations from friends and family, above all other forms of advertising.

92%

• of global consumers surveyed online indicate they trust messages from online consumer reviews, an increase of 15% in four years.

How to connect and engage

48

Close the current gap for brands and marketers for communication with Millennials• Work in the

speed and scale of digital

• Understand that you never get a second chance to make a first conversion

49

Natural reactions are more predictive of future behavior

50

So we will look there to find solutions

What happens when advertisers engage with consumers by providing instant gratification through branded rewards?

What differentiates rewards & ads?Ads…

• Often provide little benefit to

consumers• Present

regardless of on-screen events

• Can feel intrusive

Rewards…

• Connect brands to consumers during

moments of achievement

• Offer direct benefits

• Complement game play and do not

intrude
