Local impact… global reach
Buzz MG was founded as a company for teens by teens, focused on what youth
feel is most important happening in their world today. Our network of
9,000+ buzzSpotters have been selected on a peer-to-peer basis through
our proprietary selection process. Whether they’re letting us in
on the latest “buzz” words or sounding off on a hot topic,
they’re creating and living youth culture.
What is the buzzSpotter Network?
The buzzSpotter Network is Buzz MG’s exclusive group of teens and
young adults – interpreters and ambassadors of youth culture –
keeping us up-to-date on trends in five key groups of interest:
- Fashion & Beauty
- Pop Culture
- Religion & Politics
- Music & Entertainment
- Sports & Travel
What is the Buzz Consultant Board
(BCB)?
BCB members make up the foundation of Buzz MG’s consulting staff.
This elite network of teen consultants educate our clients on a daily
basis. Whether they’re discussing a cultural phenomenon or explaining
everyday youth behavior, they’re helping our clients
make the decisions that matter.
