Interviews from this year's Millennials Conference, by Levi Shapiro. Their site spells out a compelling point that should not be lost on creatives as well as advertisers, namely;
"By the year 2010, Millennials, born between 1982 and 2000, will outnumber both Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers and will be the most significant consumer sector for the media & entertainment industries".
From a creative perspective one of the questions is how involved are mainstream companies and agencies with engaging these Millennials in the creative process as we are well out of that demo. It is fair to say my ideas are quite different then those of my nephew and perhaps I should have an ideation session with him. Remember the movie BIG when Tom Hanks was pitching to a boomer?.."I don't get it"
