Social media: we all swear that it’s the best channel to reach out to Millennials, Generation Z and other teenagers – by a long shot. But do we really understand these generations, or really know how to talk to them?
They are tomorrow’s home owners, car buyers, fashion shoppers and overall big spenders. So it totally makes sense that today’s marketers are largely focused on them Millennials, Generation Z and other teenagers.
They are the “connected generation,” never far away from their phones, and always connecting with their friends and their favourite brands on social media. But what do we really know of them? How certain are we, that we understand them, and communicate to them in the right manner?
This month, I chose 3 books that focus on them. They look into their habits, analyse their behaviours, and will help you get a better understanding of what message you should be sending them – and how your should do it.
Hope you enjoy reading them!

The Happiness Effect: How Social Media is Driving a Generation to Appear Perfect at Any Cost
| Social media has become the dominant force in young people’s lives, and each day seems to bring another shocking tale of private pictures getting into the wrong hands, or a lament that young people feel compelled to share their each and every thought with the entire world.
