  The days of suits, ties, and nine-to-fives are long gone. Millennials officially hold the majority share of the American workforce. According to a 2015 Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data, Millennials account for 53.3 million active workers. It's no wonder HR managers are scrambling to identify how their companies should evolve to accommodate this unique generation. To hire (and more importantly retain) millennial employees, companies need to pay attention to the following.

• A Golden Year For Super Bowl 50 And Digital Media in Engage:Millennials on 02/05/2016
  

  If you're one of the 114 million people who watched Super Bowl XLIX on TV last year, you'll likely be doing the same for Super Bowl 50.

CBS clearly recognized this trend a few years back when it began streaming the event live online.

  At this point, almost everyone has heard of Snapchat. Pop culture is crawling all over it. It's in the news. Your kids use it. Maybe even you use it (but probably not). Everyone (particularly parents and marketers, but for very different reasons) wants to know: Why is Snapchat making waves, especially amongst the teen community?

• Teen Marketing: Blink And They're Gone in Engage:Teens on 10/29/2015
  

  Generation Z will forever be known as the first true digital natives. They will never know a non-digital world, and thrive in the always-on environment of digital communications. Known for their plugged-in nature, teens seem to be natural born multitaskers with the ability to text, talk, work, and walk simultaneously without crashing head first into a street pole.

• How To Win The Respect Of Affluent Millennials by Alexis DeVilling (Engage:Affluent on 09/30/2015)
  

  Thanks for the feedback! The article was written more for brands that are hoping to appeal to the affluent millennial audience. Could be any brand, but not necessarily luxury brands. Affluence is considered having a HHI of $150k+ I believe, so they really can't afford much luxury at that amount. Also, it's an opinionated article since I fall within this category. It's a large age range in this generation, and the market is up. In 10-15 years I'll be in a prime spot to spend money, so why not build brand affinity now?

  The purpose of the article was to raise awareness that Millennials are stepping up as the next wave of big-spenders (and likely taking care of their Boomer parents in the future). Key is for brands to have a target market plan in place to reach your ideal audience, no matter what generation they fall under. P.S. I wont take it personally that you feel Millennials are narcissistic brats :)
