7 Most Engaging Global Brands For Millennials

Millennials represent a demanding and challenging consumer segment for marketers. Yet there’s something about them that brands want. Badly.

“[Millennials] hate long-term commitments but they are a bit loyal, loyal in a way that if they like something, they really care for like a certain brand of coffee or a telco network, then I don’t see them changing. They try all of it but then stick to what they like,” notes advertising firm Jayme Syfu.
