What I Learned After Handing Marketing to a Gen Zer
Briefly

The experience of hiring a Gen Z marketer revealed the vast differences in communication styles and marketing strategies between generations. While traditional marketing focused on emotional connections and addressing pain points, Gen Z prefers authenticity and brevity. This shift demands a deeper understanding of platforms like TikTok, where engagement thrives on creativity and spontaneity, aligning with Gen Z's values. As companies evolve, they must incorporate voices who understand younger audiences, much like choosing the right tech stack to enhance product success, ensuring they resonate authentically in a rapidly changing environment.
For decades, marketing has been about connecting emotionally with audiences. But now? We're living in a completely different world where short and authentic is king and Gen Z speaks an entirely different language.
In the same way that you need the right tech stack to build a successful product, you need the right people to resonate with your Gen Z audience.
There's a general rule when it comes to social media platforms - teenagers don't want to hang out where their parents are-or geriatric millennials.
TikTok is different. It doesn't solve a problem, it is more of a content playground that encourages creativity and spontaneity, which appeals to Gen Z's desire for authenticity.
