Millenials have high expectations!

Marketers have long been courting Millenials, but this is a handy dandy list with some interesting numbers about what's important to them.

Some of the most interesting facts include:
- Only 31% said they want brands to create online content such as videos, photos, games and blogs. 
- Only 3% cited advertising is boring.

But the bottom line is Millenials really want brands to entertain them and have very high expectations of how brands can help them!
- 77% said they want brands to provide provide assistance through grants and scholarships
- 75% cited the opportunity for brands to enable more life experiences. 
- 65% want brands to behave as a mentor that can help guide them
