How can you reach Gen Z?

Understanding their needs is the first step.

Dependency

Because they grew up immersed in a digital world, Gen Z’s level of dependency on digital experience is more pronounced than other generations.

Entertain

To truly understand Gen Z, aim to entertain them first, and build the connection from there.

Human

For Gen Z, their connection to the digital world is so ubiquitous and seamless that their digital experience is their human experience.

Connected

Unlike previous generations, Gen Z sees the digital world as less informational and more as a way to stay connected to everyone, everywhere, all the time.
