With our life now predominantly lived in the virtual realm, this year has upended everything we thought we knew about media and technology.
Social media is getting smaller, entertainment is going from user-generated to user-produced, and education is becoming an act of unlearning. These changes are being accelerated by the tech-positive Generation Z – young people who have already proven themselves architects of the digital world are now turning their attention to rebuilding society beyond the limitations of a screen.
Our new Media & Youth Futures report is packed with practical insights and inspiring case studies for your brand to harness these shifts and reach media-hungry members of Generation Z. In a globally turbulent climate, this report is your guide to the trends defining the media and youth sectors, from best-in-class campaigns to emerging social networks and a Gen Z glossary.
Alongside key trends, statistics and global case studies, you’ll discover our latest Media & Youth macrotrend, Reformation Generation. Download it now and harness the trends and strategic implications that will ensure your team and brand are part of this future.
Youth and Media analysis across six key markets, rising trends, case studies and consumer insights combined to help you understand and grasp business success in the years ahead. The report includes:
