Our biggest competition to win over Gen Z and Gen Alpha is attention. Getting to stop the infinite scroll is an almost impossible task. It is even harder to keep their attention. But do we really know how? During DMEXCO - Digital Marketing Expo & Conference last week, we shared the learnings, insights and ESL FACEIT Group - EFG’s guiding principles to win the attention game and retain them across our connected experiences. Here it goes! 💡 Make fans your priority: if it doesn’t add value to their life, don’t do it. 💡 Speak their language: understand cultural codes, and use them. 💡 Think in tribes: do not put them on a box, there’s no one definition of “a gamer”. 💡 Smell BS from miles away: be honest, admit mistakes and own it. 💡 Make it their space: your brand is theirs to play with, they are the show—not you. If you want to get the full view, then check the link in the comments to watch the recording of the keynote. 👉 You need to create a free account—and discover how these five points, combined with gaming and esports, can help brands engage with billions of people across the globe. #esports #gaming #genz #worldsbeyond 📷 Credits: Koelnmesse GmbH
