Elephant in the room Part II: A sense of connection. Jacobs annual tech survey revealed one thing that's attracting some younger audiences, which is a "sense of connection." One of radio's key strengths is being the "buddy medium" offering curated content and a live view of the world around them, but distilled locally. This unique advantage, only available through radio, fulfilled a need audiences yearn for in an ever increasingly isolated world. Our check out people have been replaced largely by kiosks. Our customer service interactions on the phone or online are greeting us with chatbots and AI. As sector after sector gradually saves cost and removes humans from their models, customers and audiences will crave this sense of connection even more. Concerts and live event ticket prices have soared in a post-COVID world, as we realize these opportunities are coming far less often now. We stream media, we don't watch anything live analogue anymore (except for sports). While there is a sense of connection among all survey respondents to their favorite radio stations, this sentiment is stronger among younger demographics such as GenZ, Millennials, and GenX. These generations live in digital today. As such, radio needs to adapt its sales strategies to cater to these younger generations and establish a stronger digital presence to maintain this sense of connection. It may sound counter intuitive, but radio needs to do a better job recreating and increasing the strength of radio brands in their digital footprint in order to remain relevant enough to push audiences towards the *habit of repeatedly back to on-air. https://lnkd.in/ex_bbukZ

Adapting to Change: The latest research underscores how Gen Z is redefining the consumer journey, challenging marketers to innovate beyond the traditional funnel. As we embrace this shift, it's essential to understand the unique touchpoints and values that drive Gen Z's purchasing decisions. Redefining the rules: Gen Z is not just altering the marketing landscape; they're the cartographers of a new consumer atlas. Detailed insights from current U.S. youth research show that their purchase pathways are less linear, more value-driven, and heavily influenced by digital ecosystems. Unlike millennials, for whom the funnel was a guiding light, Gen Z demands authenticity, community engagement, and purpose from their brands. This paradigm shift towards more personalized, value-centric interactions calls for marketers to evolve with agility and foresight. As we witness the funnel transforming into a web of touchpoints, it's time to leverage technology and genuine narratives to engage with this emergent, influential demographic. #MarketingTrends #GenerationZ #ConsumerBehavior #InnovationInMarketing

🧠 Do you know how different generations perceive algorithms? It will surprise you! A fascinating study by Archrival revealed some eye-opening insights into how #GenZ and #Millennials view algorithms and their role in shaping online experiences. 💡 Key findings: 🔸 Gen Z has immense trust in algorithms, with 57% believing algorithms understand their interests better than their own parents! They rely heavily on algorithms for personalized content and new product/experience recommendations. 🔸 Millennials, however, are more skeptical. Only 49% trust algorithms to deliver the right content and products. They prefer verifying information independently. So what does this mean for marketers? 👇 👉 For Gen Z, leverage personalized and targeted content powered by algorithms and data analytics. This enhances their user experience and drives conversions. 👉 For Millennials, prioritize transparency around algorithm processes. Foster trust by giving insights into content curation. Authenticity is key to overcome skepticism. Both generations value community and peer recommendations. Integrate user-generated content and social proof into your strategies to build brand credibility and loyalty. Intrigued to learn more about harnessing these generational insights? Read the full blog post linked in the comments. And what are your thoughts on navigating the #algorithm landscape?
