The opportunity behind “Brand Attention Deficit Syndrome”

2578030316_930c162c6bAs CBD’s Director of Customer Engagement, I think a lot every day about the business implications of consumer beliefs and behaviors. Here’s something we all might want to think about.

80 million teens, tweens, and 20-somethings spent a record-high $200 billion in America last year. The challenge is that brand loyalty is virtually unheard of in these sectors. Companies continue to struggle to find a formula to engage these consumers in a way that will inspire brand preference.

If brand is irrelevant to our youngest consumers, we may be looking at a future of constant reinvention, a colorful and interesting parade of short term icons instead of true brands. This will challenge our entire way of thinking about branding and consumer communications. It’s a whole new land of opportunity.
