Marketing to Gen Z Stop Selling, Start Connecting
If you think Gen Z can be won over with a pretty feed and a few hashtags — think again.
This generation grew up skipping ads, canceling trends, and calling out brands that try too hard. They're not just consumers; they're creators, critics, and culture-shapers. So, how do you market to Gen Z? You don’t. You market with them.
Welcome to the AGENZ way.
Who Is Gen Z, Really?
Born between 1997 and 2012, Gen Z is digital-native, hyper-aware, and unapologetically bold. They don’t just want products — they want meaning. They expect brands to stand for something, look good doing it, and talk to them like real people (yes, emojis and all 🙃).
What Gen Z Wants from Brands
1. Realness > Perfection
They can spot a staged, overly-filtered campaign a mile away. Give them raw, unfiltered, and human.
2. Purpose > Promotion
Gen Z buys from brands that align with their values. Think sustainability, inclusivity, mental health, and social justice — and not just performatively.
3. Vibes > Virality
They’re less impressed by viral gimmicks and more moved by authentic storytelling, aesthetic design, and consistent energy.
