  • Millennials: the Cultural Recycling Boom
    Consumer Insight Consumer Millennials: The Cultural Recycling Boom We explore the innovative brand- building strategies that companies are using to align themselves with WMagazine consumers' fondest memories. Analysis Millennial nostalgia is alive and well in 2017. From the public outcry in July that halted the planned discontinuation of Microsoft Paint to Drake sampling J.Lo's 1999 hit "If You Had My Love" for "Teenage Fever", nostalgia for the 90s and 00s is cropping up more frequently than ever – and taking new forms. Nostalgia has always been a popular marketing tool in times of uncertainty and anxiety. In 2015, we noted sentimental reboots and gaming re-releases. But with evermore advanced technology and growing consumer expectations, brands are extending the experience of nostalgia – going beyond "ephemeral commercial goods and fleeting media moments in our age of fast capitalism," according to Gary Cross, author of Consumed Nostalgia. In a time of accelerated social change, limited attention spans and financial strain for Millennials, we explore how brands are aligning themselves with consumers' fondest memories, and making nostalgia relevant, functional and omnipresent. Dennis Engel, Nicholas Kugge, Saatchi & Saatchi Feeling is believing For experience-seeking Millennials, it's At London's Lovebox festival in July 2017, about living in the present with the past – the popular 90s cheese snack Babybel making new moments from memories. made an unexpected appearance.

  • Paris Hilton Is Folding Laundry
    MOSCHINO dress and gloves, GEORGE KEBURIA sunglasses KEBURIA GEORGE and gloves, MOSCHINO dress It’s sometime in early 2003 or 2004 and Paris Hilton is folding laundry. Standing across from her then-best friend, Nicole Richie, in some stranger’s home in the Midwest, the duo has an argument. “You’ve never heard of a laundromat?” Paris asks, while Nicole, curled up in bed, shakes her head adamantly. “It’s where people who can’t aford a washing machine go to wash their clothes,” she responds, matter-of-factly. “I’ve seen it in movies.” Today, with the omnipresence of reality TV and franchises like The Real Housewives, Pari$ that scene wouldn’t feel too out of the ordinary. But when Paris and Nicole made their debut on FOX with The Simple Life in 2003, it wasn’t just hilarious — it was radical. The granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, by the time she was a teen, Paris quickly became a permanent fixture at early-aughts Hollywood hot spots like the Chateau Marmont and Les Deux, a regular on industry red carpets and a familiar face in the front row at every Fashion Week. Paris at the mall, Paris leaving Starbucks, Paris in London — alongside her sister, Nicky, the heiress dominated the pre-RSS fed world of media, almost single handedly keeping paparazzi (not to mention the semi-eponymously named goss site, Perez Hilton) in business. She might not have been the first to do it, but Paris certainly was the most famous for being famous, unintentionally — or intentionally, depending on who you ask — setting the stage for what’s become standard social media practice.
