“We don’t understand you
either”Why youth marketing alienates
as much as it attracts

Disclaimer ://
1// Because of time they’ll be major generalisations.
2// You’re not going to hear anything very new.
3// My talk is about youth, not media.
It’s worth remembering that not all teens look the same, act the same, want the same.
Because in my opinion, there isn’t anything very new to report.
If you think a media channel is the answer to all your prayers, you may as well pack up now.

There’s a huge amount of bullshit surrounding youth marketing ...[For every example there’s a counter example]
![Page 4: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Sadly, this is me
![Page 5: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
However …
![Page 6: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
It’s exaggeration not revolution.

(i) Progression.
(ii) Group Acceptance / Validation.
(iii) Filial Responsibility.
One key element is responsible for the evolution of how Asian youth adopt & execute these
values …

Technological D.N.A.[The first truly networked generation in history]
![Page 9: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Japanese places
Changed the way they form and maintain their relationships …[No longer is it about the common location, it’s about common interests and contact level]
![Page 10: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Changed the way they communicate … [‘Word Of Thumb’ … some people have never received a physical letter in their life]
![Page 11: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Changed the way they look at the World and their place in the World …[Feel part of the global village, not the local village which has helped foster a feelingof social, cultural and geographical equality]
![Page 12: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Changed the way they behave …[They can tell the World how they feel & what they think with unprecedented power, freedom & social impact]
![Page 13: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Changed their view of creativity …[Frame of reference is global and beyond just traditional communication mediums]
![Page 14: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Changed their level of expectation … [It doesn’t matter what it is - money, fame, possessions sex - they want it now]
![Page 15: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
But what hasn’t changed is how turned on they get about brands.[Most brand literate generation in history / Branded by brands]
![Page 16: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
But they think much of the marketing is a joke …[Childish, one-dimensional, clichéd]
![Page 17: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Doesn’t mean you’re their friend or they’ll spread your message
Doesn’t mean you have an open invitation to make contact
Doesn’t mean anything from the West is automatically best
Doesn’t mean they’ll do things that could make them look foolish
Doesn’t mean they will stay loyal to a single brand
Doesn’t mean they value / understand creativity

Welcome to the youth of confusion.
![Page 19: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The 2 types of youth …[Developed World, Developing World]
![Page 20: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Money is the root of all happiness …[A premise sold as much by education policy as advertising]
![Page 21: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Lifestyle not life ...[Personal passions can wait]
![Page 22: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
They know its gold rush time …
![Page 23: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Incredible pressure to succeed.[Hence brands can give the illusion of success]
![Page 24: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Inherent prejudice, selfishness & nationalism.
![Page 25: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ripe, but easily bruised.[Don’t know how to debate, empathise or interact so prefer to stay with what they know]
![Page 26: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The mirror hides their fears & confusion.
[Growth in religion, depression, STD’s, drugs & self help groups]
![Page 27: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
They crave someone to believe in and be inspired by ... [Especially true in more developed nations … though often the ‘lessons’ are adopted to fit in with their lifestyle. ie: sex & church]
![Page 28: 2010 youth summit singapore slideshare](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445878ab1af9fd7068b458f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
This is not a generation focused on ‘we’ it’s a generation focused on ‘me’.
The most brand literate & hungry generation in history. Want to give their hearts to brands that inspire and excite them as well as offering external validation. [Price is a factor, but it’s not the main factor]
It is not just about the channel, it’s about the content and they want to be entertained, excited and interested… not patronised or made to feel dumb.
Whilst having greater access to alternate viewpoints, their heritage and culture affects many of the decisions and goals they have.
What they say and what they do are very different and this varies by city, let alone country or region. [They live ‘parallel lives’ - pleasing friends and pleasing family]
The buying power – and business potential – from this group is enormous but it is deeply complex and constantly evolving even if the fundamental ‘rules of youth’ remain.
The key is to understands their life, not just their lifestyle and then identify ways to liberate or celebrate their needs/wants/fears/desires. Mean something, don’t just sell something.
Not all youth want the same things or think the same things. Talk to them, don’t read reports.
Quick roundup …
