In order for consumers to comprehend the message and brand information conveyed using IMC; advertisements must first capture the audiences’ attention so that the generation Y consumers attend to the information being passed on. The difficulty with appealing to generation Y consumers is how to stand out from the crowd to gain their attention, particularly because by the age of 21 they have been exposed to 23 million advertising messages if not more (Sebor, 2006). Generation Y consumers are critical of advertising clutter and will only consider advertising messages that they deem significant and reflective of their values (Scarborough, 2007). While this may be true for other generational cohorts as well, generation Y consumers have become particularly savvy in avoiding advertising irrelevant to them and filtering what is and what is not important (Moore and Carpenter,2008).
