It's International Youth Day! Today, we celebrate the voices of the next generation—the youth who are not only the consumers of tomorrow but the trendsetters of today. At Dig In, we believe that truly understanding and listening to young people is essential for shaping the future of marketing. Our strong position in the industry is built on our commitment to engaging directly with university students through experiential marketing. We know that hands-on experiences are incredibly effective—when young consumers can try a product first-hand, they are far more likely to trust it, purchase it again, and spread the word. In fact, six in ten Gen Z consumers say that simply liking a product is one of their top three motivators for buying it. And the power of word-of-mouth cannot be denied, with 92% of consumers trusting recommendations from friends over traditional ads. This synergy between direct experience and peer influence is what makes our approach so impactful. What's more, our campaigns don’t just end with the experience; we follow up with surveys to hear directly from Gen Z on how we—and the leading brands in the UK—can improve our strategies to target them more effectively. On this International Youth Day, we reaffirm our dedication to not just marketing to youth, but marketing with youth. Their insights are invaluable, and by listening closely, we ensure that our campaigns resonate, inspire, and drive real results. Here’s to the future—shaped by the voices of today’s youth. 🎉 #InternationalYouthDay #GenZMarketing #ExperientialMarketing

Students need clearer communication and more information before starting university life Our recent Youth Forum delved into the topic of how students could be more prepared before they start university. The students we surveyed and spoke to in our focus group made it clear that knowing key facts about flatmates, budgeting, and their new city can significantly improve their experience. Top Insights: 🔵Expectations vs. Reality: 49% of students found the required on-campus hours to be less than expected, while the same percentage found self-study hours to be higher than anticipated. 🔵Budgeting: 44% are working to afford expenses, while 18% had to work unexpectedly. Additionally, 72% felt they lacked understanding of household bills. 🔵New City & Flatmates: 52% wished they knew more about their new city, and 43% about their future flatmates. Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/eZAgyAPh With thanks to our partners and sponsors, Dig In, The Crowd Agency and PBSA News. #YouthForum #StudentExperience #HigherEducation #UniversityLife #GenZ #StudentSurvey #Accommodation #Budgeting #MentalHealth #IndependentLiving
