Supporting brands in addressing the female target audience with a customer experience focus Emma Watson has it but it's rather easier at 27. Madonna still has it at 58. Erotic capital is a personal asset everyone uses to achieve given goals. So why not to build a platform based on this asset to innovate and communicate with your female target audience.

Millennials are considered the Digital Native generation. Social media have transformed any kind of objectualized narrative into dematerialized digital artifacts whereby Millennials construct their self and share it with their peers as a manifestation of self-disclosure. However this field is overwhelming due to the unlimited paths of hyperlinks and post threads that can be followed, and "haunted" by ethical concerns for the privacy protection of the individuals. In this methodological paper the authors tackle with these issues by suggesting the use of digital introspective diaries as a white space for consumers to fill, a genuine, ethical and laic space to capture consumers' self-reflective work that enables a thick introspective glance on their inner and outer lives.
