But whereas lots have been said about the previous generation, millennials, and their impact on marketing and branding strategies, especially online, Gen Z’ s preferences on brands are now under scrutiny, including in a major study launched by the INTA. On track to be the most educated generation yet, Gen Z seem to have strong opinions and values and want to be heard. What does it mean for brands? How can they engage with f this generation?
