Dale Lovell says, “With millennial expectations of advertising increasing and the rise of ad-blocking, the value exchange between brand and consumer is now more important than ever.

Depending on which definition you read as what constitutes a millennial, I am one. Apparently.

To paraphrase the singer Estelle, ‘1980 was the year that God made me’ (well, I was born in March, 1980, so technically, I was ‘made’ in 1979). And as if to prove my millennial credentials: my undergraduate year was the first intake that had to pay university tuition fees in the UK.

My 19-year-old student nephew is also a millennial. We sit pretty much at either ends of the millennial age-range. Our lives are completely different.

I’m a daily commuter, run a business, have a mortgage, a wife and young child. I have early nights, Ocado deliveries and weekend trips to the park. He has all day drinking sessions, exams, girlfriends, lie-ins and all-night parties”.
