1 billion youth worldwide now own a mobile phone. Every single one of them has a story to tell. Author Graham Brown tracks down the voices of this disconnected generation from the slums of Rio’s favelas to Amish kids in Lancaster County using cell phones to secretly access Facebook away from the prying eyes of their parents. Each chapter is a story of innovation, hope and change. “Mobile Youth: Voices of the Mobile Generation” is written for marketers, technologists and futurists alike interested in how today’s cell phone empowered generation will change technology, media and even government.

Think “youth marketing” and you’ll probably think of making brands cool: rollerblading girls on campus, bank managers in jeans or the monkey-on-a-trike Youtube video. The reality is it’s none of the above. Graham Brown and his team condense 10 years studying and working with organizations like Apple, Facebook, Red Bull, MTV, Disney, Monster Energy, Nokia and UNICEF into this concise guide to help you avoid repeating the mistakes and learn from their success. Youth marketing is about company culture – it’s not what you do, it’s who you are.
