Key Youth Marketing Fundas
• What marketing strategies brands like – Red Bull, Crest, Motorola, BMW, Nike, Starbucks, etc adopt to gain acceptance…….
![Page 36: Youth Market Challenges Alok Sharma](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042512/554920e1b4c90547498b8ba3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Attention: The brain only processes 5% of the information it \"sees\" on an ongoing basis. Youth don’t wake up thinking about your brand
• We are moving from an era of finding customers for our products to one of finding products for our customers“
(Seth Godin)
![Page 37: Youth Market Challenges Alok Sharma](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042512/554920e1b4c90547498b8ba3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Brandwidth = trust + attention
High in demand, short in supply:
brandwidth is the raw material of youth marketing
• Youth don't wake up thinking about our brands. The stark realization is that youth don't give a **** about our latest product, technology or service - they only care about themselves \"The world doesn't need another Soda\" (Jones Soda Founder Van Stolk)
![Page 38: Youth Market Challenges Alok Sharma](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042512/554920e1b4c90547498b8ba3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Network Era In the Network era Industrial tactics are surpassed by the more effective dialogue and legacy building . Networked brands such as Jones Soda, Red Bull, Threadless, Scion and Starbucks can grow without recourse to extensive advertising campaigns.
• Partnership Marketing What Red Bull knows that Pepsi doesn’t is that their best marketers are the customers. Are you marketing to or marketing with youth?
![Page 39: Youth Market Challenges Alok Sharma](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042512/554920e1b4c90547498b8ba3/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Passionistas Stop wasting your time on trying to convert the unconverted. Find that 10% of your market already sold on your product and give them something to care about
• The Pepsi Generation Youth have moved on but we’re still marketing like it’s 1969 Pepsi, “the choice of a generation”: * Tell them you’re cool * Tell them in a BIG way * Keep telling them You cannot buy youth Brandwidth like this any more you need to earn it
![Page 40: Youth Market Challenges Alok Sharma](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042512/554920e1b4c90547498b8ba3/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Relevance: Don’t be good be relevant Brands are slowing waking up to the realization that advertising Reach no longer works. Youth no longer need to compromise so big means nothing. Youth seek out the most relevant Social Currency for their lifestyle
• Personalization: ----- Pull the TRIGGER
If youth term your brand as “It's cool, fun” You are there.
![Page 41: Youth Market Challenges Alok Sharma](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042512/554920e1b4c90547498b8ba3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Social Currency Social currency is the unit of social interaction. How much Social Currency bang can I get for my buck from this product? How does it help me be significant and how does it help me belong? What is the Social Currency of your product?
• Social Fabric Great youth brands know that they can sell more products by not selling. Rather than sell to youth they focus on helping youth connect with one another. They want to be the Social Fabric of the youth universe.
![Page 42: Youth Market Challenges Alok Sharma](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042512/554920e1b4c90547498b8ba3/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Platforms Don’t sell the product, sell the ability to connect customers How do brands such as Red Bull and Jones Soda make their customers care about fizzy flavored soda in a can where Pepsi fails? The difference is simple – one is looking for customers for its products while the others are finding products for their customers.
![Page 43: Youth Market Challenges Alok Sharma](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042512/554920e1b4c90547498b8ba3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• X-Factor What is remarkable about your product?
When was the last time you saw an advert for Google or Facebook? The X Factor that advertising has for so long provided unremarkable brands is the ability for customers to talk about something meaningful. What is the X-Factor that will get them talking? Are you relying on your creative agency to come up with answers or are you looking for them out there on campuses, at events and in the streets?
![Page 44: Youth Market Challenges Alok Sharma](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042512/554920e1b4c90547498b8ba3/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• Lifestyle or the Product:Red Bull will become the gold standard of youth
marketing because it understand its business is “ENERGY” not “energy drinks”
Just as apparel companies need to consider there business as “social fabric of youth” not an apparel.
• Successful youth brands have focused marketing not on awareness but on building sustainable grass roots. Support at the local & micro levels
Grass Roots = Grass Routes–
![Page 45: Youth Market Challenges Alok Sharma](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042512/554920e1b4c90547498b8ba3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• Benchmarking never gave us the ipods, walkmans or even the mobile phones. All came from some one's ability to employ uncommon sense – Thinking, that challenges the received wisdom, asking “what if?”
• Marketing is no longer something you do with youth but something you do with them.
• Awareness means nothing- when was the last time you bought an
Ambassador car
![Page 46: Youth Market Challenges Alok Sharma](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042512/554920e1b4c90547498b8ba3/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• Key Drivers– Can you help me BELONG
– Can you help me be SIGNIFICANT
These are the two timeless & culturally independent request youth have from youth brand.
• Good youth marketing is focused on share of customers not share of market
• GROWTH: Imagine a virgin market of new set of customers the size of EUROPE every year
![Page 47: Youth Market Challenges Alok Sharma](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042512/554920e1b4c90547498b8ba3/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• LEGACY:When marketing campaigns end and the ADVT
money runs out “WHAT IS LEFT”Are you propping up the market with
campaigns or creating a LEGACY
Campaigns: Kill your campaign and start creating something ( to youth campaigns are increasingly ineffective because as soon as they done they forget about you.)
Attention: If you want there attention Give something first.
