| Summary: | Millennials are “digital natives. They were born in a connected, perpetually
communicating environment and thus they are accustomed to finding all the information
they need by a simple web query. This feature, corroborated with the increasing
competition between universities in their attempt to attract students, stresses the need to
find an answer to the following questions: how should academic representatives reach
millennials, in order to promote their educational offers? What communication strategy
should they follow? What tone of voice and media channels should they use? In order to
find an answer to any of the above questions, I think the first step is to analyze the public
and their decision-making process. And that is what I will try to do in the first part of the
present paper, based on which I later make a clear proposal of a communications strategy. |
