Redefining Norms: How Gen Z Champions Innovation   In our previous article written for Greenbook, we talked about how Gen Z’s has a unique perspective on respect of their elders. We also have talked about their trailblazing views on and advocacy for mental health and inclusive language (all of our articles are archived here: https://lnkd.in/gDMxF5Dv). Well, these are the tip of the iceberg. Gen Z has a distinct worldview and, we would argue, are more inclined than previous generations to embrace innovation, challenge conventional wisdom and pioneer new paths to address contemporary issues and challenges.    Below are five examples of how they are redefining norms. Tech Mavens: We all know that Gen Z are digital natives. They have grown up with tech and know how to use it. They also are the first to adopt, adapt and advance to new technologies and platforms. They are often the early adopters of emerging tech trends, using them to develop innovative solutions to contemporary problems. Online Learners: Gen Z were the quickest to adapt to online learning during the pandemic. They experienced alternatives to the in-school traditional education system and embraced the possibilities that it offers. They are comfortable and open to accessing education and skills outside the traditional setting—utilizing everything from online courses to ‘how to’ videos on Tik Tok and YouTube. Flexibility Facility: Gen Z expects customization, embraces change and expects flexibility. As an important illustration, they have spent an important part of their career working remotely, and like it. As a result, they have grown accustomed and come to expect flexible job arrangements. Employers beware, the future of work has been fundamentally changed. Tech for Good: Gen Z is using technology to address social and environmental issues. For example, as we wrote, Gen Z have a sincere their lack of interest in getting a driver’s license. They have adopted instead sustainable options altering the urban transportation systems by embracing ride-sharing and electric scooter apps, thereby reducing their carbon footprint. Channel Disruptors: Gen Z has embraced alternative approaches. They create, share and watch content online, via apps like Tik Tok, challenging traditional industries and distribution models.   Marketers can respond effectively to Gen Z's tech-savvy and adaptable nature by embracing innovation and flexibility in their strategies. This entails: -Giving priority to digital marketing channels and harnessing emerging technologies. -Recognizing Gen Z's strong preference for online, personalized, & flexible experiences. -Ensuring that offerings align with Gen Z's craving for customization & their desire to use technology for solving problems By staying agile and staying attuned to Gen Z's evolving preferences, marketers can not only engage this generation effectively but also stay ahead in the ever-changing digital landscape. #customqualguy #GenZ MRxPros ESOMAR QRCA

Almost six years ago, my partner Isaac Lopez and I took a leap of faith and started a marketing agency focused on advanced tech. Like any new venture, there were surprises along the way…. Here are 5 things we didn't know when we took that jump: 1️⃣ Constant education: The pace at which technology evolves is staggering. Staying ahead of the curve means constantly updating our knowledge and strategies. Learning never stops. 2️⃣ The need for specialization: General marketing strategies don't always apply in tech. Specialized knowledge and a tailored approach are necessary. 3️⃣ Each client is a new ball game: No two tech companies are alike. Each requires a unique marketing approach tailored to its technology and specific audience. 4️⃣ Never underestimate networking: Building relationships in the tech world can open up new opportunities and avenues that you have never considered before. 5️⃣ Building a team is hard: Finding team members who share our mindset and passion for advanced tech marketing is much harder than expected. These lessons have taught us the importance of staying agile, being lifelong learners, and building a team that shares our passion. Thank you to our clients, partners, and team for being part of this incredible journey. #AdvancedTech #MarketingAgency #LessonsLearned
