Abstract:
Even with decades of practice communicating with young consumers, marketers may not know what they are in for with Generation Y. Most companies have had little exposure to this cohort. In the U.S., more than 60 million consumers were born between the launch of MTV in 1981 and the commercialization of the Internet in 1996; they have about 140 million counterparts in Europe and almost 20 million in Japan. The older members of the group are only now moving into the mainstream adult arena of reliable cars and mortgages.
