Working in higher education marketing, it’s interesting to watch the face, habits and behavior change of its ever-evolving primary target audience: teenagers.
Just when we’re starting to understand Millennials, a new generation is emerging. Say hello to Gen Z. Members of Generation Z, sometimes referred to as “Generation Edge,” were born in the mid-’90s to late 2010. The difference is both amazing and significant from the previous generation and span many areas: they’re the first generation born into the digital world, they care about our economy and our planet, and they’re the most diverse and multicultural of any generation in the United States.
