• Think ‘snackable’ and visual• Not passive recipients of brand messages – among those who
contribute to websites, 60% like to share their knowledge with others and 55% say they like to share their opinion with others
• Adept researchers – they will check everything• They are self-branders • Human connections more important than ever
