What types of marketing message work well/badly with teens?
We hear time and time again: advertisements that are annoying, intrusive and irrelevant are big turn-offs (for example, a flashing ad for wrinkle-removing cream was particularly unpopular). Teens grew up with email “spamming” and it has instilled in them a sense of skepticism and fear around advertising – many assume that clicking on Internet and/or mobile adverts and coupons will invite a flood of ads and spam. Advertisers need to work to alleviate this fear. Teens tell us that they want honesty – full disclosure up front – otherwise they’ll probably ignore the advertisement.
