=__**The Problem**__= Social networking sites have become a hot spot for Gen Y. Even though companies know where to go to market, they do not know how to reach their target audience.

Gen Y has rejected other attempts at marketing like businesses getting a social networking page.

=__Proximity's Social Media Solution / Recommendation__= Proximity focus group results show that Gen Y users do not welcome any attempt of businesses to advertise to them. This means that marketing must take a different route in reaching Gen Y.
