But they’re still facing the future with resilience. Brands should harness this generation’s wave of proactive optimism, as well as court the impending Gen Alpha consumer.

Summary
Rocked Yet Resilient | Young people had their worlds turned upside down by the pandemic, with over half of UK’s Gen Zers (born 1996-2009) saying it has disrupted their long-term plans. But they’re still facing the future with resilience. Brands should harness this generation’s wave of proactive optimism, as well as court the impending Gen Alpha consumer. |
Safeguarding Generation Gigabyte | While living predominantly online comes with its benefits, we can’t ignore the threats facing today’s teens as they explore social media and virtual reality. Investing in youth-centric digital literacy is key. New initiatives seize on kids’ favourite digital channels (see Teen Vogue’s series) or gamified set-ups as a conduit for online safety lessons. |
Nurturing Lifelong Health Habits | Covid restrictions have had a tangible impact on children and teens’ mental, physical and emotional health globally, posing long-term risks to their holistic wellbeing. To coach beneficial lifestyle habits from a young age, shrewd stakeholders are tapping the fun-filled domains of leisure, art and culture – think of it as a ‘self-care by stealth’ strategy. |
Defying Work/Education Deficiencies | Lost time in the classroom and stagnating youth employment are making teenagers turn away from the classic class-to-college-to-career path, necessitating a new approach from both educators and employers. Investing in snackable skills and aspirational apprenticeships will help prevent younger generations from getting left behind. |
