10 THINGS TO TAKEAWAY
1. Focus on sparking conversations in culture, not on one way messages2. Foster their creativity and allow for participation/co-creation in all your ideas3. Treat Gen C as ‘active communities’ who can spread your message NOT
target audiences you’re aiming to hit4. Make sure your brand is always in BETA mode..never fixed or static5. Plan for content you don’t create, building flexibility into your marketing
programs6. Create useful stuff like widgets and applications that’s relevant to their lives.7. Treat real and virtual worlds as one..ensuring ideas live seamlessly across all
platforms8. Don’t treat your brand too seriously…stick to a core idea, but allow for lots of
different manifestations to keep Gen C interested9. Don’t be scared of complex ideas which ‘build’ across different media
platforms….don’t just plaster one message everywhere10. Think about how your brand can make a meaningful contribution to gaming
culture

Things to remember
• It’ll take time and a lot of effort.
• Start small. You don’t need to be in all the social media sites.
• Keep your goals in mind all the time.
• It didn’t workout? Back track and try a different approach.
• Don’t give up.
