audience it is important to factor in their
age, location, and cultural interests

It is important for it to be genuine and make
your brand more human and relatable

Focus on quick, informative, and targeted
content to relate to this generation

Millennials have high content
expectations with low patience levels
2. Make it original

Millennials want to stay informed,
discover what they didn’t know before,
and get a sense of escapeFlickr CC: @rkphotos
After being bombarded with over 5,000 marketing
messages a day, we have cultivated the ability to
bypass unoriginal content

Through creation of unique content you
can capture the millennial audience and
construct a lasting brand reputation

3. Make it visually appealing

Millennials rarely want to interact with an
advertisement
If logos and call to actions cover your
content, consider it ignored
Flickr CC: @piratechickan
However if it’s visually pleasing it has been
shown to draw in the millennial crowd
This generation is conditioned to pass
by “salesy” content
Flickr CC: @anonymouscollective
Visual content allows millennials to
absorb key information quickly

Whether it’s a video or image, millennials
want something that delivers actual
value, not just your sales pitch
Flickr CC: @jakerust
Informative and creative content can make or
break how your brand relates to this audience

Focus on what you are presenting, and
make sure it aligns with their beliefs,
interactions and behaviors!Flickr CC: @ihtatho
Tap into the millennials desire for
discovery
Don’t give them any reason to ignore
your content marketing!
