Content Marketing: What is generation C? You consider them?
If we go back a few years back we find the great reign of television marking their own schedules without getting too into account the preferences of the viewers themselves. And a few years ago, we had one channel and if you do not like what you had emitted for more options. Then he reached internet, digital TV platforms, YouTube, smartphones with camera and video cameras. Obviously as we move very quickly to:
– The personalization of content tailored to the needs of each user
– Consolidation User “Prosumer” (which consume and produce content at the same time)
– The choice by the user of the “how” (device), “here” (site) and “now” (time) of the selected content
In this evolution we find the birth of Generation C.

This is a new generation that has a different relationship with the content. The main features of this generation are:
- Users very interested in the creation, protection, connection and community around some contents

Keys to consider connecting with the generation c
- Set a content strategy for YouTube: According to a study recently published, in 2017, 69% of traffic is on YouTube. Therefore, it is time to incorporate this channel as one of the regulars, such as Facebook or Twitter currently.
- Pay attention to SEO for videos: In the coming years indexing videos will improve a lot and that will mean that SEO for videos will be equally important for Google searches. Therefore, keywords, titles and tags will be important in the near future.
- Connectivity between devices: Users want to start content on the TV, continue it in the tablet and finish on the mobile for example. Therefore, the contents must be adapted to make this a reality.
