Generation Y (16-32 year olds) are the most marketing savvy and advertising critical generation ever. Three times the size of the previous Generation X, they have a much bigger impact on society and business. But what drives them and how do you develop the right brand strategies to reach this critical generation? This revised and updated 2nd edition of How Cool Brands Stay Hot reveals what drives Generation Y and how you can reach them. Based on five years of intensive new research, it provides insights into the consumer psychology and behaviour of "the Millennials". It will help you to connect with this new generation of consumers by understanding their likes and dislikes, and how you can make your advertising, marketing and branding relevant to them.
