Tips for marketing to Gen Z w/ Ian Baer

Something I've realized recently is that I've turned into an old fogey.

The fact that I just used the term "old fogey" is one sign of that!

What I mean is that I'm old enough that I look at younger generations and I'm just kinda mystified.

It was all I could do to get my head around Millenials and what they're all about, when here comes Gen Z, ready to take over!

I have Gen Z kids, so I have some clue.

They're very much online ... they spend a ton of time on social media and on their phones ... Where the existential threat when I was growing up was nuclear war with the Soviet Union, theirs is climate change.

A lot of Gen Zers in the West aren't so sure about capitalism ... The list goes on.

All I know is that, if you're a B2B marketer, you're gonna need to understand Gen Z and what motivates them, because before long they're going to be in the workforce in a major way.

My guest today is here to help us understand Gen Z and how B2B brands need to be crafting marketing strategies aimed at them.
