BUZZ ON MULTICULTURAL MILLENNIALS 3
Resilient. Trendy. Unapologetic. These are the words Multicultural
Millennials use to define themselves. It’s important to note that they
don’t call themselves multicultural, urban, minorities, or ethnic. We’re
in a marketing season where consumers are defining themselves, and
deciding how and where they see themselves. They’re filtering out what
doesn’t serve their vision of themselves.
So how do we define them? We like the word transcultural. In literal
definition, it means “seeing myself in another.” Isn’t that who Millennials
are? Specifically, 43% of Millennials are non-white and Gen Z is even
more diverse. They’re growing up in multilingual, multigenerational
households. So the terminology being used to define this generation is
off putting, to say the least.
We hope this report inspires you to expand how you view Multicultural
Millennials and the clear marketing opportunity that exists with this
unique demographic.

THEY KNOW WHAT THEY WANT AND WHAT THEY ARE WORTH
This is a group of young influentials – in fact, 95% believe that people
around them see them as influential. Tie that with the fact that 95% of
them say they are loyal to the brands they like, and you have a consumer
who knows what they want, sticks to it and influences their peer group.
In fact, 80% usually introduce trends, artists, styles, etc. to friends and
family before they blow up in pop culture.
They recognize their worth (and power) and want brands to do the
same. 82% would like to see more brands focus their marketing and
advertising on minorities.
SELF-CONFIDENCE IS SUPREME
78% feel like they have power as a consumer to influence big brands,
and given the opportunity they may do just that. Multicultural Millennials
bring a strong sense of self to the party and they expect to be
recognized for that.

78% consider themselves to be very trendy. 82% enjoy following and
talking about the latest trends, while 60% stated they know everything
that happens in pop culture as soon as it happens.
THEY ARE INFORMATION HUNGRY & DISCERNING
OF THEIR MEDIA CHOICES
The amount of media they take in is astounding. 93% download apps for
their smart phones monthly, 89% watch TV daily, 87% read magazines
monthly, 78% listen to the radio daily, and 77% read newspapers weekly.
What they trust is a different matter. Almost forty percent rarely rely
on mainstream media for news. And almost eighty percent reported
that Mainstream media is biased and tends to leave out facts when
convenient.

THE ANALYSIS in this report is based on in-
depth online surveys conducted among a national
sample of 400 multicultural adult men and women
as defined by Buzz Marketing Group, aged 21-
36 living in all 50 U.S. territories. Buzz Marketing
Group posted surveys, only open to people who
are part of the buzzSpotter community, between
October 1-10, 2016. Survey estimates presented in
this report are not weighted. No margins of error
are reported. In addition to sampling error, one
should bear in mind that question wording and
practical difficulties in conducting surveys can
introduce error or bias into the findings.

NIKE: “Just do it.”
APPLE: “Apple’s Ipod with the black

actually bought both the ipod and
music.”
WENDY’S: “Where’s the beef?
Wendy campaign because it was so

RED BULL: “TV spot “Basketball”
with Blake Griffin because it’s
inspirational.”
SNICKERS: “I love the pretty panda
commercial from years ago. It still
makes me laugh.”
MOUNTAIN DEW: “Commercial
where dog was dancing. I loved it
because of the humor.”
SPRITE: “Homage to hip hop.”
BARBIE: “A recent ad that I saw
was actually for Barbie. It showed
young girls in different occupational
situations, doctor, teacher, coach,
taking on those respective roles with
adults who were confused as to why
the little girls were acting as such. At
the end of the commercial, it showed
a little girl playing with different
Barbies, doctors, coaches, teachers,
and the overall message was that
they could be whoever they wanted
to be. I loved that idea. The idea that
we’re promoting and encouraging
young girls to aspire to be whatever
they want to be.”
GEICO: The Geico unskippable ad
because it was so relatable and
hilarious. I’d never seen a company
come up with an ad like that and it

saying today and using the words
upon doing many things”
MILK: “Probably the GOT MILK

loved those commercials, the old lady

that it showed how no matter what

    H E LL O T H E R E ! BUZZ ON MULTICULTURAL MILLENNIALS 3 Resilient. Trendy. Unapologetic. These are the words Multicultural Millennials use to define themselves. It’s important to note that they don’t call themselves multicultural, urban, minorities, or ethnic. We’re in a marketing season where consumers are defining themselves, and deciding how and where they see themselves. They’re filtering out what doesn’t serve their vision of themselves. So how do we define them? We like the word transcultural. In literal definition, it means “seeing myself in another.” Isn’t that who Millennials are? Specifically, 43% of Millennials are non-white and Gen Z is even more diverse. They’re growing up in multilingual, multigenerational households. So the terminology being used to define this generation is off putting, to say the least. We hope this report inspires you to expand how you view Multicultural Millennials and the clear marketing opportunity that exists with this unique demographic.

In fact, 80% usually introduce trends, artists, styles, etc. to friends and family before they blow up in pop culture. They recognize their worth (and power) and want brands to do the same. 82% would like to see more brands focus their marketing and advertising on minorities. SELF-CONFIDENCE IS SUPREME 78% feel like they have power as a consumer to influence big brands, and given the opportunity they may do just that.

    A D VE R T I S I N G NIKE: “Just do it.” APPLE: “Apple’s Ipod with the black silhouettes dancing. Visually it was striking with the use of negative space and the music was great- I actually bought both the ipod and music.” WENDY’S: “Where’s the beef? Wendy campaign because it was so funny.” RED BULL: “TV spot “Basketball” with Blake Griffin because it’s inspirational.” SNICKERS: “I love the pretty panda commercial from years ago. It still makes me laugh.” MOUNTAIN DEW: “Commercial where dog was dancing. I loved it because of the humor.” SPRITE: “Homage to hip hop.” BARBIE: “A recent ad that I saw was actually for Barbie. It showed young girls in different occupational situations, doctor, teacher, coach, taking on those respective roles with adults who were confused as to why the little girls were acting as such. At the end of the commercial, it showed a little girl playing with different Barbies, doctors, coaches, teachers, and the overall message was that they could be whoever they wanted to be. I loved that idea. The idea that we’re promoting and encouraging young girls to aspire to be whatever they want to be.” GEICO: The Geico unskippable ad because it was so relatable and hilarious. I’d never seen a company come up with an ad like that and it was 100% spot on. CONFIDENTIAL THE BEST ADVERTISEMENT you can remember and why. BUZZ ON MULTICULTURAL MILLENNIALS 55

They are always funny and memorable.” COCA COLA: “The remake of I Love to Teach the World to Sing...brings people from all ethnicities together.” DOVE: “Campaign regarding all body types.” T MOBILE: “Drake for T Mobile.

Blige KFC commercial because it just didn’t feel right.” CASAMIGOS: “George Clooney’s new ad for his new tequila is horrific because none of the Hispanics around him speak at all and it was just a terrible visual.” GO DADDY: “All Go Daddy commericials are annoying!” BUZZ ON MULTICULTURAL MILLENNIALS 57

I liked that it showed how no matter what your use of it was for, running, hiking, swimming, or whatever, that it was or everyone. I ended up buying one for myself.” SAMSUNG: “I would say the Samsung Galaxy S6 commercial, I really loved the examples of how the technology could improve my life because they were easy to relate to.” APPLE: “The Apple Music commercials persuaded me to try the free trial” APPLE: “Shot on iPhone campaign, I love instagramming and taking photos.” BUZZ ON MULTICULTURAL MILLENNIALS 59
