In our 2022 Gen Z report we wrote, “Like all of us, Gen Z wants to feel good about themselves, their purchases, and their actions. Brands can help them in that journey.” This remains true, and the data below highlights how important it is for brands to support and inform Gen Z. We recommend brands utilize messaging to empower Gen Z—assist them with their big concerns—and action to align with Gen Z values. Mental health has taken the forefront post-pandemic—it is Gen Z’s top health priority and value to support—offering a very clear path via which to build a deeper connection.
