Generation Nation 2020: What's Real and What Matters About Gen Z, Millenials, Xers & Boomers
In this time of great political, cultural and technological change, brands need to clearly understand how consumers themselves are changing. Generational (as well as lifestage) distinctions and commonalities tell a valuable story, enabling brands to anticipate what’s next. But these differences tell only part of the story. “Generation Nation 2020” shows where generation intersects with lifestage. And, by examining the unique dynamics of your category, you’ll see opportunities to more resonantly connect with your own consumer of today and tomorrow.
About
Generational insights are often misappropriated, confused, and under-leveraged. "Generation Nation" demystifies generational and lifestage differences and traits and why they matter. The result: clear, actionable insights to connect with Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers.
Join other leading brands and organizations in sponsoring the third iteration of “Generation Nation,” as it builds and expands upon the first two years’ learning to unveil new, transformative generational insights.
Whether you’re focusing on Gen Z or Gen X, Millennials or Boomers, in order to truly understand any one of these powerful cohorts, you need to do so within the context of all four.
Objectives
- Anticipate trends through fresh, relevant insights into these four cohorts
- Understand where lifestage intersects with generation and whom you should target (and why)
- Dive deeply into the core influences of Brand Role; Media & Influencers; and Omnichannel Behavior
- Filter all this data by your category data, including: Fashion & Apparel; Beauty & Personal Care; Financial Services; Food & Beverage; and Mobility
- Provide thought-leadership fodder for your senior management team
Why?
America is changing profoundly and quickly. Generational traits are shifting, too -- and at a faster pace than ever before. To anticipate change and to meaningfully connect with one or more of these four generations, brands need to fully grasp what's real and what matters. You'll be surprised. No study does this better -- with greater richness, nuance and actionability -- than "Generation Nation."
To serve and succeed with one or more of these four cohorts -- Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers -- you'll need the deepest, most current insights.
Over the past three years, “Generation Nation” has become the most innovative and strategic look at how consumers are changing and how to get out ahead of and harness this change.
Methodology: Qualitative/Quantitative
Design Rationale:
A primary goal of this research is to understand each of these cohorts more insightfully within the context of all four generations. Significant "pre" qualitative experience has informed the questionnaire and the analysis. And, a new artificial-intelligence-powered qualitative component has been added. This study has been designed to be repeated and expanded annually through Collaborata.
Approaches:
In addition to a robust quantitative study, this research leverages Quester’s proprietary "chatbot moderator" driven by artificial intelligence, revealing rich qualitative context, interwoven with the quantitative insights. Analysts will combine the quantitative data, “quantified” linguistic analysis on consumer language, and generational expertise to tell a rich and compelling story about each of these four generations.
