Youth Trends: The Culture of Millennials

Featured guest Co-Founder/Managing Creative Director of Archrival, Clint! Runge

Thursday, May 24, 2012, 11:45 AM – 1:00 PM
U of M Holiday Inn – 3700 Central Avenue, Memphis, TN

Nothing on Earth can make you feel as uncool as trying to target your brand to today’s youth market. That’s why we have co-founder and managing creative director Clint! (yes the exclamation point is part of his name) Runge of Archrival, a leading youth marketing agency. How cool is Clint!? Cool enough to work with clients like Red Bull, Shaun White, Zappos and countless other brands that not only understand young audiences, but actually look cool while marketing to them. 

Join AAF Memphis on May 24 for a luncheon with Clint! Runge, who promises to explain his exclamation point in a way that doesn’t make you feel outdated. Plus, we'll showcase our own youth as the University of Memphis student competition team presents their work.
