1. The Challenge of Context<\/h2>

Your typical zoomer has their eyes peeled across multiple formats for a broad spectrum of opportunities. Their phones open up a world that allows them to bounce around randomly.

Big, bold, uncluttered designs that are recognizable across virtual and physical retail outlets alike need to flag up the inherent strength of a brand\u2019s properties. The clarity of simplicity stands out to Gen Z consumers.<\/p>

Nowhere is this more important than on anything digital, as this is where the next generations live.

Gen Z states openly it\u2019s willing to pay more for sustainable products and brands. It seems that with every generation, the pursuit of sustainability gets stronger. A significant majority of Gen Z is buying upcycled and preloved products, for example.<\/p>

5. Sustainability Matters<\/h2>

Gen Z states openly it\u2019s willing to pay more for sustainable products and brands. It seems that with every generation, the pursuit of sustainability gets stronger. A significant majority of Gen Z is buying upcycled and preloved products, for example.<\/p>

The point is that sustainability practices need to be relevant and match the expectations of their audience. Resale and consignment along with peer-to-peer marketplaces are part of the picture with some big brand names getting on board.<\/p>

For Gen Z, brands must treat sustainability as more than a box-ticking exercise.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

6. Influence Family Purchasing Decisions<\/h2>

Almost three-quarters of Gen Z say they play a part in deciding what kinds of food and household products their families buy. They have a clear opinion about what\u2019s best or cool. Their parents appear inclined to listen to them and act on their tastes and wishes.\u00a0<\/p>

More than\u00a053 percent of Generation Z-ers bought something through a mobile device in the last six months.<\/p>

Most Gen Z-ers are influencers, encouraging others to buy products they like.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

7. More Racially Diverse & Better Educated<\/h2>

In the US,\u00a0Gen Z is at the cutting edge of the country\u2019s changing racial and ethnic makeup. Only a slim majority of around 52 percent identify as non-Hispanic white.<\/p>

Diversity matters to them all. They tend to see it as a positive.<\/p>

They are also less likely to drop out of high school and more inclined to enroll in college. They expect governments to sort out the big problems, particularly those related to climate change.<\/p>

They continue to experience the psychological scars of lockdown, a time many may have preferred to party. A degree of despondency may have crept in. Research suggests that almost two-thirds of young Europeans have been at risk of depression.<\/p>
