The Search for Gen Z:

Is the future of search advertising calling for brands to become part of the conversation?

“Gen Z craves a personal, authentic connection. We grew up watching and interacting with YouTube stars who were just like us, not elusive, Hollywood celebrities. We appreciate the chance to engage with authentic, imperfect art.”
