Press release (Dutch): Martin Lindstrom en Europese jongerentrends op Youthwatching ‘09

Marketingguru Martin Lindstrom maakt tijdens zijn Buyology wereldtournee op 12 december een exclusieve tussenstop voor het Youthwatching ‘09 seminar. Tijdens dit eendaagse seminar in Gent staan de vragen Wie zijn de jongeren van nu? Hoe zijn deze jongeren te bereiken? en Hoe houd je deze jongeren vast? centraal. Naast Lindstrom zullen onder andere ook Antti Öhrling (Blyk), Cameron Saunders (Channel 4) en Lorenz Bogaert (Netlog) hun opwachting maken.

De rode draad door het programma is het jaarlijkse Europees Jongeren Trendrapport van het youthwatching bureau Trendwolves, dat onderzoek doet naar dominante Europese jongerentrends. Naast de belangrijkste resultaten van dit onderzoek zullen ook, samen met Martin Lindstrom, concrete handvaten worden aangeboden voor toepassing van de onderzoeksresultaten.

Willem Sodderland (Buzzer), Nico Ruell (Red Bull), Nalden (Nalden.net), Jeroen Boschma (Generation Einstein), Herman Konings (Pocket Marketing/nXt) en Erik Van den Branden (Deloitte) completeren het programma. Ook zijn er jongerenpanels en een talentcorner voor jong Europees talent, waar de bezoekers kunnen sparren met jongeren zelf.

Youthwatching ‘09 wordt op 12 december 2008 gehouden in de Eskimo Fabriek in Gent. Meer informatie is te vinden op www.youthwatching.com
