It's time to pay attention to millennials: a quarter of the total U.S population is made up of millennials and nearly 85% of them own smartphones. If you aren't targeting at least some of your marketing efforts towards this demographic, you're probably missing out on huge opportunities. You must create a marketing campaign for the audience you have, but also the audience you want. Yet what if your brand isn't naturally geared toward millennials? What exactly is a millennial? And won't this marketing strategy shut out other demographics? And how do you speak "millennial," anyway?
In this webinar, learn from our expert panelists:
-How to make sure your content strategy is mobile-friendly for all demographics
-Tips and tricks on spinning the content you already have for the millennial audience
-Ideas for shaping a new content strategy that will appeal to a younger mobile audience
-Information on where B2B intersects with millennials, and why it's important to reach out to that demographic to scale.
