MILLENNIALS in CONTEXT
Every generation sees itself as the “Greatest
Generation” (not just those born prior to 1933).
Every generation sees itself as being different
and special. But the truth is that human
commonalities across generations far outweigh
differences - for after changes upon changes in
the world we live in, human nature remains more
or less the same.

WHY ALL THIS MILLENNIAL FUSS?
Millennials are not just important because they are at the prime of life and as
such highly acquistive - they are also one of the biggest segments of the
population. So winning the marketing war, inevitably means winning the hearts
and minds of these “Echo Boomers” (children of the Baby Boomers)

MILLENNIALS ARE DRIVING THE FUTURE!
AND THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Millennials are Optimistic about the Future
They are Driven by their Social Connections
and they are Digital Natives
CHAPTER 1: WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH
MILLENNIALS GET GOING
Unemployment rates in the past few
years have been at their highest
since the 1980’s.
And while Millennials are the most
educated generation today, many
Have been facing tough times
in spite of their degrees.

Many Millennials have stayed home or are
never far away from their families.
In fact, Thirty-six percent say they depend
on financial support from their families, and
many have “boomeranged” back because
of the recession after living on their own.
Many millennials have grown up with parental
support and encouragement and have been able
to experience relatively comfortable lifestyles.
But lets remember that the story of the millennial
generation is not homogeneous - approximately
20% of American millennials are living in poverty
and have not been so privileged.

MILLENNIALS ARE STICKING TO FAMILY FOR SUPPORT
Source: MTV TR3S
86% of Hispanic Millennials are still living with family.
But this statistic is not so surprising given that Hispanics place
such high importance on family life as a core value.
Traditionally, Hispanics are
more likely to live in a multi
generational home, where
everyone is expected to do
their part.
In doing so, 72% of Hispanic
Millennials also help with
paying the bills in the house.
FOR HISPANICS SPECIFICALLY, FAMILY IS EVERYTHING
Source: PEW Research Center – Millennials in Adulthood
THE DELAYING OF ADULTHOOD
Living at home has allowed Millennials to
postpone big life decisions – like delaying
Marriage until they are economically stable.
When it comes to kids, only 42% of grads
today say they are planning to have
children, compared to 78% in 2002.

BUT REMEMBER ALL MILLENNIALS ARE NOT
ALL THE SAME!
An important caveat to exploring the Millennial Generation is to understand
that even though they have commonalities, “Millennials” should not be
thought of as one homogeneous group.
Think about it, life between the ages of 18- and 34 represents some of the
most formative years in a person’s life and as such holds within it at least
two distinct stages.
NAVIGATING THROUGH LIFE’S BIGGEST STAGES
Dating
Graduation
First Job Having a baby
Generally we can group Millennials into at least two characterizations:
SEGMENTING THE MILLENNIALS

who are establishing their roles in the world.
They are Aspirers, on the path to find success.
who are just growing into adulthood.
They are Explorers, looking for new experiences.
18 - 24 year-olds 25 - 34 year-olds
The Explorer
These people are driven by a need for Discovery,
Challenge and new Frontiers.
Young in nature, if not reality, Explorers are often
the first to try out new ideas and experiences.
They respond to brands that offer new
sensations, indulgence and instant effects.
Difference is what they seek out.
18 - 24 year-olds 25 - 34 year-olds
The Millennial Generation Rules
The Aspirer
Ambitious people who desire to achieve a status
of success. They are always looking ahead to
what they want to become, and they work on
looking the part on their way up.
As a result, they appear to what others perceive
as being superficial. An attractive package can
be as important to them as its contents.
Their core need in life is for achievement.

Millennials have a massive fear of missing out
(FOMO) on something fun, or a social event
that may happen on the spur of the moment —
it is so intense that even when they decide to
disconnect from technology, they still connect
just once more, just to make sure.
Millinnenials send and receive an average

THEY ARE ESPECIALLY IN THE LOOP WITH MOBILE AND SOCIAL
SO HOW SHOULD A MARKETER
NAVIGATE THIS NEW GENERATION?
DO NOT OVER-SIMPLIFY THE GENERATION
Millennials are not a homogeneous group. Identify core
segments and understand their lifestages.
EMBRACE DIVERSITY
Be sensitive to themes of multiculturalism and Millennials’
cross-cultural values.
BE PARTICIPATORY
Millennials are content creators and want to be heard. Engage
them in a manner that will encourage them to get involved.
DO NOT CUT CORNERS ON EXPERIENCE
Millennials seek novelty and excitement. Deliver experiences
that makes them think they aren’t losing out.
LEVERAGE TECHNOLOGY
Take advantage of the core strength of each channel to engage
with Millennials. Think multi-channel.

Every generation sees itself as being different and special. But the truth is that human commonalities across generations far outweigh differences - for after changes upon changes in the world we live in, human nature remains more or less the same.

  • 10. Source: MTV TR3S 86% of Hispanic Millennials are still living with family.
