When talking about branding and marketing to millennials, experience is a core concept. Providing millennial users or customers good experience is an important way to gain their engagement. In this new media age, branding is not like it used to be. It should be more flexible and innovative. So how flexibility works in providing experience with millennials? It involves personalization, partnership, and co-creation.
Living in a age where they speak their minds freely, individuality matters to millennials. Instead of being given something monotonous, they are much more in favor of customization and personalization. This is the most straightforward way they express who they are, differentiate themselves from others, and gain personal experience. More importantly, not just unilateral customers, millennials feel happier if they could be treated like partners and co-creators. It is the matter of the sense of belonging and community. Once given the chance to participate and create, millennials are willing to take those opportunities to engage as partners and co-creators, as ways to show their personal identity.

    The chance point resonates with me. These folks are ready and willing participants being tech savvy and all; no better way to connect with them and to prosper than by inviting them to the party.

      Thank you for replying! I like the word "party" you are using! It feels like we are living in an age just like party where everyone can talk, no matter is to express themselvs or to communicate with others. And people are ready to do so.

    It should be more flexible and innovative.
    David Ogilvy disagrees.

    individuality matters to millennials.
    That explains why they all look the same.

    Some cause-oriented hackers recently hacked one of my websites. So I researched what they're about and then donated a large sum of money to the entity they hate the most.

    The next time they hack one of my websites I'm going to donate DOUBLE.

    When was it ever not a good idea for branding to be flexible and innovative?

    The whole point of a brand is to get the prospect identifying themselves as special - either as part of a select group or fueling their aspirations to be so.

    In that respect, millennials are no different from the rest of the population.
