League of Legends’ newest champion Viego can take control of slain enemy players
Generation Z, or individuals born after 1995, are coming of age where they are the new “target market” for many companies. So how do companies’ market to Gen Z? A generation that has practically lived its entire life in the realm of digital marketing? That’s what we’re here to help with.
Promote your Values
Consumers today and particularly Gen Z are more politically and socially aware than ever before. They are looking for brands and companies that align with their values.
Having a set of core values on your company’s website and social media pages helps to cultivate a brand that your consumer can connect with. Companies, however, cannot just talk the talk, they must also walk the walk by reflecting these values throughout their business operations. In a recent study of Gen Z individuals, 86% stated they would support working in and purchasing from a company that matches their personal values.
For extra points on how to market to Gen Z, take a stand. Finding causes that are associated with your company’s brand can go a long way in promoting your company to Gen Zers.
