Millennial Think Tank: Globalization, Technology and the Millennial Perspective
This week we tackled the enormous topic of Globalization, Technology, and our Think Tank’s perspective of it.

Vote for us to Debunk Myths About Millennials at SXSW
This post is all about me asking for YOUR VOTE so we can bring our Millennial Think Tank panel to SXSW. Here’s why I think we should go: If you haven’t watched one of our Millennial Think Tank episodes on G+ every Thursday, here is the why and the what: After hearing from my Millennial […]
Millennial Think Tank: The Impact of Technology on Privacy. A Millennial Perspective
When we decided to put the topic of Privacy on last week’s agenda, both Hessie Jones and I thought that our panel would be deeply concerned, possibly even afraid of how much of their personal privacy was exposed online. What we discovered is that our panel is certainly concerned, but definitely far more sophisticated in how they […]

Boomers, Busters and Back To The Future
Doc bursts onto the scene in the time travelling DeLorean and exclaims, “Marty … something has to be done about your kids!” ….

Millennial Think Tank: The Enormous Debt Burden, Higher Education Cost, and its Impact
Last Thursday on our weekly Millennial Think Tank Hangout we tackled the issue of the enormous debt burden Gen Y is saddled with, due in large part to the high cost of education.

Millennial Think Tank: Do Brand Ethics Affect their Purchasing Decisions?
This week we posed the question of Brand Ethics and their impact on purchasing decisions at our think tank; what we came away with was the reality that there are a lot of factors that effect whether our Millennials purchase a specific brand. Ethics are just one part of that decision. Before I delve into the substance, I’ll introduce […]
There’s a Storm Brewing Between Gen X and Gen Y
If you watched our Millennial Think Tank Hangout last week, you heard members of Gen Y push back hard against the notion that they were ‘entitled,’ or in need of validation more than those that came before them. If you listened closely, you also heard that when they spoke of ‘the generations before them,’ they […]
The First Millennial Think Tank: What We Learned When We Asked THEM
If you missed the first edition of our Millennial Think Tank, it was an eye opening and thought provoking experience. Despite some technical and domestic pet related issues (broadcasting from a home with an English Bull Terrier and Fireworks outside was not my wisest move), it was a very worthwhile hour. I’ve embedded it below if […]
Millennial Matters: Introducing Our Think Tank
If you’ve been following this series you know that, after some push back by Millennials, I’ve been focusing on engaging with GenY-ers directly… trying to think and behave like a digital native myself. It’s become apparent that in order to market to Millennials with empathy, it’s necessary to cast aside so many of the sweeping […]
