#FOMO

From the Fear of Missing Out to the Focus On Multitasking Opportunities.

The Millennial « sickness » : the “fear of missing out” refers to the feeling of anxiety

that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening elsewhere.

- The tension & desire to stay continually

connected with what others are doing

- They have the tools : the smartphone

increases the addiction for the Paparazzi

Generation

- New technologies provide the power of

ubiquity through multi-screens and networks.

Page 10: Millennials & Gen Z

« Starification » of their life : they use the social networks everyday and all day

long to express and show a life in which they are the main actor.

- The You(th)niverse is the personal world where

the Millennial promotes his/her personality and

preferences.

- The digital world and the social networks enhance

the trend with profile customization and likes

accumulation.

- In real life, the 3D printing is a new way for mass

customization by creating personalized items from

scratch.

Page 12: Millennials & Gen Z

It’s no more about individuals but about micro-communities of passion

points and influence without borders.

- # = the symbol of the micro-

community : behind a sign and a

few words, individuals from the

world are together.

- As many micro-communities as

passion points, and not exclusive.

3. A global generation - tribes

Page 13: Millennials & Gen Z

3. A global generation - global projects

Crowdfunding and crowdsourcing are participative ways in which

the youth vox pop’s got the power.

- Half of Millenials prefer be a part of a project that look like

them rather than just buy.

- More than collaboration, it’s about self expression in

music, fashion, sport…

- Millenials = actors - and not just spectators - by building a

global culture without borders.

Page 14: Millennials & Gen Z

The Millennials mix bits from different universes, they value unusual collaboration.

3. A global generation - mash up

Page 15: Millennials & Gen Z
Page 16: Millennials & Gen Z
Page 17: Millennials & Gen Z

Millenials value entrepreneurship, creativity and start-up culture.

- Start-up is a perfect work place for a generation of

rapid learners with a strong ability to adapt

- Everything is made to be creative and it’s a great

place to grow personally and professionally

- Being able to work closely with the innovators, the

founders, is something you rarely get to do if you’re

working for a corporation - not a start-up

4. A creative generation - ideas

Page 18: Millennials & Gen Z

4. A creative generation - language64% of Millennials regularly communicate using only emojis instead of words.

- Emojis are a powerful tool for humanizing mobile

messaging, which can often feel impersonal and

expressionless.

- A second & specific language representing visually a

part of who they are.

McDonald's has brought "Emojis" to life in this last spot

Page 19: Millennials & Gen Z

5. And hedonist generation - gamificationHalf of Millennials say “they see real life as a video game” and almost 6 out of

10 say “#winning is the slogan of my generation”.

- Hedonism : pleasure, fun, excitement, sensations…. remain

key drivers for Millenials. Gaming is an expression of this

Hedonism.

- Video games have transcended pure entertainment, and

evolved into places where players can learn, build

communities, and explore aspects of their identity they can't

express in the real world.

- Millennials love video games so much that they've turned

watching other people play into a multi-million dollar industry.The most subscribed-to channel on YouTube, PewDiePie, is run bya Swedish gamer who has gathered his 35 million followers and 10billion vues by posting reviews, run-throughs, and live-streams ofnearly every new game to hit the market.
