The evolution and development of corporate communication in both digital and traditional media is shaped by a dynamic and changing culture, which is absolutely determined by media trends and Young Millennial.


Knowledge of the different consumption patterns in the new generations will define the strategies that guarantee the permanence and positioning of the media in the consumer market.

Communication will depend entirely on technology and it does not change our needs, it simply changes the way of satisfying them. For this reason, the managers and managers of communication companies must be skilled in innovating and creating the mechanisms and tools necessary to stay current and attractive to the consumer.
Where is the new corporate communication going?

Simplicity and immediacy will be the basis of communication in the future. The routes used will become increasingly simple, intuitive, and clearly adapted to mobile applications.

As Amir Kassaei, creative general director of DDB Worldwide assures us, "you have to go out and listen to people." The manager has argued that social networks are not the means of communication, but amplifiers of opinions and that communications companies must learn to use them.

Communication is basically nurtured by collaboration and the new generations understand the terms of collaboration because they have learned to work and relate through technological devices. To maintain interest in millennial, communication must be a dynamic and highly engaging experience.

10 trends that will define the new corporate communication in the future
Regarding the International Conference on Digital Transformation organized in Lima by the University of Piura; digital communication expert José Luis Orihuela, presented "The 10 trends that will define the future of business communication in the coming years".

The specialist, who has given lessons and presentations in more than 26 countries on digital transformation, considers that these trends are fundamentally shaped by the knowledge of the culture and consumption patterns of the new generations.

1. The key is generational: understand the criteria of  young millennial
We must know this generation to understand what the future will be like. “In less than 10 years, 75% of the planet's workforce will be formed and led by young millennial. If we are able to understand now what their criteria for information consumption is, how they entertain themselves, how they organize their outings; and how they work around networks will give us the key to how the world will work in the near future".

2. Communication will be personal, if it is not personal it will not work
The user knows that he can communicate with another user, with the company or institution, he also wants to be heard and wants to be answered with personal communication. If a company cannot offer personal communication, it will not be able to attract young millennial, who are always connected in real time.

3. It will be mobile
"The future will be mobile." Mobile is not necessarily a smart cell phone, but anything that moves, is connected to the internet, or has a chip. Connectivity is not only associated with a phone. For example: vehicles, watches, heart rate monitor, etc. Therefore, communication becomes mobile and is interpreted between mobile screens.

4. It will be contextual
If the audience is hyper connected with mobile devices, then what becomes strategic is the physical contexts in which the users are. "For example:

If you are moving all the time, with a device with which you can connect, communication, advertising that makes sense to you, traffic information, weather information that makes sense to that user, is one that recognizes the place (location) where you are. "Maybe you are lost in a city, but your phone knows exactly where you are."

Everything that adds value to users within their context, everything that is location services, everything that has to do with the "internet of things" are objects that recognize our presence as we move.

5. Everything will be contained.
Young Millennial only understand communication in terms of content, they don't accept interruptions. They experience all communication as content, and if it is not content it is irrelevant. Therefore, the challenge for brands is Branding Content, producing interesting content for users. What works are the stories.

6. It will be collaborative.
The world that comes and the communication that comes is understood in a key of collaboration, to carry out projects that are of common interest to society. An example of this is Wikipedia. Open, collaborative work spaces. 

This generation understands the terms of collaboration because they have learned to work and relate to different technologies with their remote work. "The fate of our activities has become a negotiation." These keys will also work in the professional world.

7. It will be data.
Just by having a device connected, it generates a spectacular volume of information about our own life and our activities. Those companies and professionals who can interpret the fabulous volume of data that the entire environment is generating are going to succeed. 

Have you ever wondered why Facebook, Twitter and social networks are free? because you end up paying with your data. The business is to sell the aggregates of information.

8. They will be experiences.
In this new generation, communication must be an experience. Millennial from an incredibly young age are people used to interacting in environments that operate under a dynamic game. If it is not an experience, it does not work.

9. It will be brief and visual.
This is the communication you will gain in a world saturated with information. Ephemeral content for audiences that have less time and are based on images. If we communicate visually, we will have added value.

10. The artisan (the vintage) will return.
This is a message rather than a trend, as a protest movement of those people who, although they like technology, will continue to appreciate the values ​​of the analog world. The old, the artisan, the homemade will return. Everything that is anti-fragile will succeed. You must vindicate the value of paper, reading books, writing in pencil, which are fabulous tools for thinking.

The challenge in the future of communications will be to intelligently combine the tools, creating strategies for successful implementation, where the interrelation between those involved must be direct, ethical, transparent, easy to manage, but above all comprehensive and plural. In the future, language and gender will no longer be limitations on communication.
