GOING DEEP
Understanding Youth is the only conference in Canada that features the latest tools, research and media to help marketers connect with tweens and teens.
This year, the event will build on its tagline, “Why They Like What They Like”, by looking at youth from a psychological perspective. What makes them tick? How do they differ from previous generations, and what drives their interactions with media and marketing? We’ll approach this theme from a number of angles, be it the latest global research or presenting best practices in our much-hyped case studies.
