Gen Z consumers are notoriously difficult
to understand

NOT FOR US.

Campus Insights is run entirely by Harvard undergraduates – all members of Generation Z. We personally conduct all of the moderated interviews on behalf of your business, which means participants are comfortable speaking with us (and telling us the truth). And we are fluent in Gen Z; we know what our peers are trying to say and what that means for your business.

Gen Z makes up
40%
of the global consumer population

THAT'S A BIG  NUMBER,

AND IT's GROWING EVERY DAY

But even more importantly, studies have shown that
Gen Z consumers are fundamentally unlike their older counterparts.

They consume information differently, they use technology differently, they have different expectations for businesses they patronize, they share recommendations differently, and they respond to different types of marketing and advertising versus Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers.

If your business isn’t adequately positioned to capitalize on this base of increasingly influential and increasingly differentiated consumers, you may be in trouble.

Strengthening Your Business for All Generations

A question we get often is: “Will Campus Insights’ recommendations hurt my business’s ability to attract older consumers?” The short answer is “no”. While other consumer research companies don’t adequately consider this important question, and thus leave you with a plan that could actually hurt  your business overall, we make it a priority of our approach.

Every day that goes by that you don’t fully understand your Gen Z consumers, or that you aren’t optimally reaching and speaking to them, is a missed opportunity – and a costly one at that.

And please don’t fall into the trap of Googling for “Gen Z insights”, and looking at stats and graphs about Generation Z habits and proclivities. That’s not real research, and can send you down a bad path – a path that in all likelihood will do your business more harm than good.

Getting started with Campus Insights is easy – we’ll put together a free, no-obligation proposal that details how we can help your business succeed with Gen Z.

You have nothing to lose, and a whole lot to gain!
