Where Gen Z and Millennials are in the Data

Each generation grows up in a different media, cultural, and political environment, and it affects how they receive and prioritize information. In this session, we’ll do a dive into what exactly drives these age groups’ attention, where they are spending their time, and perhaps most importantly, what loses their interest.

You’ll discover:

  • What issues drive and engage Millennial and Gen Z stakeholders compared to other groups
  • Which platforms they prefer and where their time and attention are focused
  • Their changing expectations of business, political leaders, and interest groups

Best Practices and Rules of Engagement

Millennials and Gen Z grew up with and on the internet, but they can vary in their usage and platforms. Some of them might also respond well to more traditional media platforms and communication strategies. Hear from two expert practitioners on how they effectively target and influence their audience. This session will focus on:

  • How to break through the noise of the digital media ecosystem and speak authentically to these stakeholders
  • Cultivating a younger audience and advocates beyond just a short-term campaign
  • Common mistakes to avoid when speaking to this audience
  • The role of podcasts, applications and chats
