What you need to know
Generation Z consists of an array of young consumers at different stages in life. This diverse age range can be a challenge for brands as some Gen Zs are completely dependent on their parents, while others are branching out on their own for the first time. Regardless of age, these consumers are generally more engaged and socially conscious than older generations, making them a key demographic for brands looking to disrupt the industry.
