This report presents findings from a survey examining how various generations, specifically Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers, engage with brands on social media. It details the distinct preferences and behaviors of these groups, highlighting the importance of tailoring marketing strategies to meet their specific needs. The survey, conducted with nearly 1,000 U.S.-based social media users, reveals that generational differences are significant and growing. For instance, Gen Z prefers interactive and entertaining content, while Boomers value clarity and practicality. The report also outlines the preferred communication channels for customer service, noting that younger generations favor direct messaging, whereas older generations still rely on phone calls.
