Its clear that long-winded, laborious text-based content just isn’t going to do the trick with Generation Z.

- Limiting yourself to a certain mindset or set of marketing techniques will only lead to stagnation.
- Think about that for a second. In just a few short years, nearly half of all consumers will be from this generation.
