It provides insights on Millennial values like freedom, optimism and desire for new experiences.
2016 was a rollercoaster, here in Nigeria, through the continent of Africa and beyond. A lot changed around the globe and even more here in Nigeria, from economic instability, inflation and spiral fall of the Naira to the dollar; rise of mompreneurs, transformation of social platforms to
transmedia vehicles; growth of feminist movements, the participation of government in art and technology; the launch of fashion food fairs, Afropolitan street carnivals and the fusion of art, music and fashion exhibitions.
Here are some moments that defined 2016, the Nigerian
Consumer, and indeed, set the pace and patterns for trend codes in 2017.

Market to the Largest Generation in the U.S.: Millennials (Manta.com)Manta
Born between 1980 and the mid-2000s, millennials are the largest generation in the United States. While the droves of youngsters certainly spark debate regarding their attitudes, work expectations, lifestyle choices and more, the group is here to stay. To market to them effectively, small business owners need to understand what they’re all about.
During small business expert webinar—“Marketing to Millennials: It’s a Whole New Mindset”—you’ll learn all about how to crack their code with millennial marketing expert Brendan Shaughnessy, including but not limited to:
• Generation Y is grown-up. They're 75 million strong, with kids. And they have enormous spending power.
• Millennials don't respond to traditional marketing and advertising. Learn their languages of love and loyalty.
• Millennials are also creating a whole new mindset that's changing everything and influencing everyone.

This document discusses marketing strategies for Africa. It begins by providing context on Africa's growing economies and consumer markets. It then aims to dispel common myths about treating Africa as one homogeneous market or thinking African consumers have low sophistication. The document argues for understanding diversity across African countries and consumers. It also advocates understanding local needs and treating African consumers with respect rather than assuming they can be easily targeted. The conclusion is that success in African markets requires an inside-out approach that develops products and marketing based on understanding unique African attitudes and contexts rather than adapting Western approaches.
Marketing to Hispanic shoppers is rapidly changing. This deck outlines key trends for reaching the Hispanic shopper on mobile and social, as well as key demographic insights.
Remodista Think Tank - The Chinese Consumer Mosaic 1.0Remodista
McKinsey projects that China will become the world's largest online retail market by 2020 with online sales forecasted to exceed $420 billion annually, driven by a growing consumer class and the world's largest population of Internet users, now more than 500 million people. This captive audience of consumers is often categorized by a singular retail brand minded trope, when in reality the Chinese consumer is as varied and complex as the Western consumer. Digital convergence and the influence of mobility is not isolated to the Western world- it is having an impact everywhere. It's time to reinterpret the marketplace, embrace complexity, and redefine your brand to excel in a critical market. Using our Women's Global Initiative as an example, we will help you begin to understand how to win the Chinese consumer by building strategies that integrate social and mobile channels.
AHAA expands its thought leadership platform well into 2014 with a series of studies to educate marketers on the increased need to segment properly for higher ROI and not treat the vast Hispanic market as one size fits all.
This document discusses urban millennial consumers and how they break traditional segmentation definitions. It notes that urban millennials are the fastest growing segment and comprise a diverse and growing population. The document also discusses how millennials are shaped by different cultures, value diversity and inclusion, and expect brands to be authentic. It introduces the concept of "Uniculture" segmentation which focuses on both similarities and differences in consumer behavior through a cultural lens.
Infographic: Multicultural Marketing Industry Survey 2014Joinville
1) A survey of 234 multicultural marketing professionals found that most target Hispanic audiences and plan to increase spending on digital/social media advertising in 2014.
2) Respondents saw increasing importance of integrating multicultural marketing into total marketing strategies, though budgets for it remain relatively low, usually less than 20% of total budgets.
3) While TV remains important, digital channels are viewed as the future of multicultural advertising, with two-thirds of respondents expecting to increase spend on platforms like Facebook and Twitter in 2014.
At MIKADO we are convinced that cultural integration is the way forward in today’s global economy. Here is a quick infographic demonstrating the opportunity and highlighting the importance of including ethnic segments in your organizations marketing efforts

The future of marketing - Fundamentals never changeAndrea Balducci
- The world today is overwhelmed by information and consumer are distracted -> Very difficult for a brand to get their attention in all this ‘noise’ (in social networks, and more generally the web)
- Consumers are more and more exigent and tech savvy. They want information when and where they want it… immediately.
- Competition is at the highest due to digitalization and things are moving faster than ever before. Companies need to readapt and reinvent their self on a daily basis.

The Future of Marketing is Less AdvertisingMediaPost
Human instinct tells us more is better—which usually ends up not being the case as the law of diminishing returns typically prevails. And so it goes for brands fighting the daily share battle against competitors armed with massive marketing budgets that simply cannot be matched. While challenger brands may want to fight “fire with fire,” flooding the market with louder and more intrusive advertising impressions will actually have the opposite effect. What's a challenger brand to do? Compete on what actually matters to consumers: customer experience.

Evolving a market-led positioning for Nigeria_Lampe OmoyeleLampe Omoyele
Nigeria needs to develop a clear positioning strategy to improve its image abroad and attract more investment, business, and tourism. Previous attempts have had little success due to issues like poor planning, lack of funding, and inconsistent messaging. To be effective, a new strategy needs shared buy-in from Nigerians, a focus on authentic strengths like culture and people, and addressing real challenges. Positioning Nigeria as a land of opportunity, enterprise, and possibilities could work if supported by ambassadorship from all Nigerians and continued economic and social progress.
The document discusses LinkedIn's efforts to promote inclusion and diversity. It announces the launch of LinkedIn in Hindi to support India's Hindi-speaking community. It also discusses recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month to celebrate Latino communities and promote meaningful discussions around Latino and Hispanic professionals. Finally, it profiles seven diversity leaders in Australia who are driving conversations around important topics.
Advertising in Nigeria has evolved over the decades from more conservative print ads in the 1980s and 1990s to more exaggerated ads in the 21st century due to advances in technology and quality of print media. Early ads focused on icons and lifestyle portrayals while later ads used hyperbole and brand ambassadors. However, exaggerated modern ads may overpromise and influence society negatively by altering values and enabling compulsive buying. Advertising standards bodies aim to regulate content but are limited by corruption. Overall, advertising in Nigeria has developed from showing to selling products through increasingly creative means.

4. There remains an opportunity for brands to better understand and engage the needs of the mass market, which is still underserved
Nigeria's Solid Minerals Sector: Alternative Investment OpportunitiesAbove Whispers
This document summarizes the keynote address given by the Nigerian Minister of Solid Minerals Development on investment opportunities in Nigeria's solid minerals sector. The minister discusses Nigeria's abundant solid mineral resources and the British colonial legacy in Nigerian mining. He outlines challenges facing the sector but expresses optimism about diversifying Nigeria's economy through developing mining, particularly of gold, iron ore, and other minerals. The goal is to increase the mining sector's GDP contribution from 0.33% to 5-7% over 10-15 years.

We are organisations and individuals – from all walks of life, all ages, all religions and beliefs - who have joined together to take a stand against all forms and all sources of corruption. We do so because corruption is a cancer that infects and impacts negatively on all people and institutions throughout the country – but more so, it hampers the prosperity of the people of South Africa, especially those from the poorest and most vulnerable communities across our country.
The document is the manifesto of the LAND PARTY for the 2019 South African elections. It summarizes the LAND PARTY's vision of reforming and opening up the South African economy by bringing back business confidence, welcoming honest business people and prosecuting corruption, in order to create jobs and opportunities for South Africans. It criticizes the ANC government for mismanaging state-owned enterprises and infrastructure, leading to downgrades and poverty, and argues that the LAND PARTY is the only party that will truly empower South Africans and prioritize economic growth. The LAND PARTY aims to make South Africa a place where all people can live safely, securely and with dignity through their own hard work and opportunities

Chimamanda Adichie; Author, Poet, Feminist
8. Nigerians are a resilient people. Regardless of the daunting task ahead of us, we will pull through. Perhaps this explains why individuals like Chimamanda Adichie keep breaking new grounds in the literary world with works such as Purple Hibiscus and the recently released Half of a Yellow Sun, due to her ability to remain composed, adapt appropriately, and forge ahead in the face of challenges and opposition.

Alhaji Aliko Dangote; Business Magnate,
Africa’s Richest Man, Owner, Dangote Group
14. The name, “Dantata” is a familiar name in Nigeria. the conglomerate started with the rewarding business foresight and acumen of Alhaji AL Hassan Dantata, and with the dynasty continued by the likes of Aliko Dangote(a nephew to the family), Africa’s most richest man, there’s no gainsaying that Nigerians have a very strong attachment to family.
15. Today, Nigeria is a complex weave of people, ideas, resources and cross-cultural phenomena with our adoption of different styles and cultures. But it wasn’t always like this. What’s changed over the years in terms of business, education, career and the economy?
16. To connect with the Nigerian of today, we need to understand the evolution of the country and its people across the generational divide (from the 60's to the 2000’s).
24. Even though much emphasis still laid on getting good grades and a good job during this era, vocational studies to establish a small manufacturing company was rife.
28. How do you truly connect with the average Nigerian who’s mobile savvy, a dealaholic by all standards, a social passionista who keeps up with the latest trends on various social media networks, and a visionary always on the lookout for the next big thing?
29. In today’s digital world, connecting with Nigeria’s rapidly evolving populace requires an understanding of our digital consumption habits. Welcome to the NEW NIGERIA: a place where its people change as fast as the weather, yet as slow as the climate.

36. Brands are all about emotion –and emotion connects with memory, self-image, hopes, dreams and aspirations. Strong brands appeal to many different senses: sight, touch, smell, taste, sound –either within the brand itself, or in the way it is marketed. Every brand we identify with is an expression of our own identity.
37. According to a study, "SocialShop ", shoppers use social media to meet particular needs. If those needs aren't met, brands are likely to see a drop-off in Followers or Fans. The study segmented shoppers according to their needs. To aptly describe the average Nigerian Consumer we have come up with 6 terms that explains the cultural molecules of individuals exhibiting the same buying patters within each molecule.
Source: http://leoburnett.com/articles/thinking/socialshop/
44. Besides just decoding the average Nigerian consumer, a deeper understanding of the concept of trends hunting is key to engineering a new train of thought for the consumer. As much as Nigerians have a peculiar consumer behavioral pattern, the new generation are open to change and a reformation
45. . Even though brands focus on the low end users, certain brands have been able to capture other segments of the market. They’ve succeeded in focusing on people’s aspirational tendencies and employing the use of celebrity endorsements, product innovation and research to develop new products/services that arrest the attention of a certain market type.
49. Understand where a hundred million personal identities are going, and you have the key to your future brand campaign. Can we really decipher the true Nigerian? Perhaps… Or perhaps not! However, we can channel a new way of thinking and capture a new market segment if we LISTEN, OBSERVE and CREATE.
50. Investing in Nigerian trends/culture to connect your brands to these peculiar people will have a long- term benefit. In a country where over 70% are youths under 25 years and will still be a youthful country in the next 25 years-, there's bound to be expansion for any business venturing into the country or perhaps buying into an existing local brand to boost your brand and the economy.
51. We are a inter-networked people (Community first) -Habits, trends, behavior is influenced by our neighbors, peers, colleagues. Your brand/business must act as friend first, product second
We are a VISUAL people -we are excited by colors, tones, speak, funkiness, otherness, newness
Understudy/understand the cultural codes that drive the nation and design products that have love, passion and sensory cues embedded in them
52. Develop products & services that solve a problem beyond the functional needs (Nigeria has a multitude of issues that has beset the country -from security, to infrastructure to power etc.)
You can commercialize unique cultural codes as Nigeria is one of a kind influenced by passion, language, design and not just needs. The market/consumers are open to change as they want to live the life NOW; they want tomorrow today
The country is a youthful country, the market is ripe for building a nation of loyalists, brand advocates and consumer fans
53. Globalization is a trend that impacts everyone more and more each day. Advances in technology and modern communications are said to have unleashed new contacts and intercourse among peoples, social movements, transnational corporations, and governments. How much impact will a New Nigeria have on the African continent and the entire World?
54. THERE is no shortage of economic growth in Africa. Six of the world’s ten fastest growing economies of the past decade are in sub-Saharan Africa. With Nigeria at the center of development to come over the next 5-10 years, building sustainable businesses in the country will have a positive effect on the African continent in the long run.
55. According to Tim Brown, CEO and president of IDEO, the goal of Design Thinking is "matching people’s needs with what is technologically feasible and viable as a business strategy" .
With new solution architects rising by the day in Nigeria, the nation is poised to provide solutions to Africa's biggest problems in years to come. This will only happen if investors and VC’s spot opportunities in budding talents and brands that stand for change, using design as their tool.
56. It is estimated that by 2015 sub-Saharan Africa will have more people with mobile phone network access than electricity access at home. The rise of cheap smartphones has allowed vast portions of the population -from middle classes in cities to small businesses in rural areas -access to mobile broadband.
What this trend portends is that Africa is poised for a rapid growth in digitization across countries. With tons of Nigerian entrepreneurs already employing the use of digital connectivity to solve problems of education, traffic congestion, food delivery among other things, expect the revolution to spread further as we will begin to cross- culturally solve problems, not per city but per country.
59. Across Africa, an innovation culture is emerging. Nigeria is among the countries in Africa that have the potential of creating a vibrant innovation ecosystem. Students and entrepreneurs have begun tapping science, art, mobile and digital technology to solve social and business problems.
We believe that foreign firms and institutions must work with local universities on collaborative research to improve the quality of degree programs and provide much needed tools and resources to co-creation labs such as FastLaunch.org, CcHub.com, CapitalSqua.re, ClubOrangeng.com and Enterprisecreative.org.
These are the brands that will shape the next generation of thinkers who will solve Africa’s greatest problems and they need to be invested in now.
60. Africa in general and Nigeria in particular, is poised for rapid growth in the coming years. It's high time we start converting research outputs into intellectual property, patents, trademarks, industrial designs and knowledge at the highest level. We will continue to unlock trends and ideas that are worth billions to the discerning African and international businessman, to help drive our economy and build our continent.
