60 Gen-Z Marketing Innovations

From Inclusive Beauty Ads to Vlogger-Designed Fashion Lines

— August 29, 2017 — Life-Stages
These Gen-Z marketing innovations range from popstar-created Latina programs to fast fashion Disney collections. A standout -- Forever 21's Disney x Pixar clothing collection -- consists of chic casuals that celebrate famous films like the Toy Story franchise and Finding Nemo.

When it comes to online platforms geared toward Gen-Z, examples include tween influencer communities that help members turn a social media past-time into a rewarding, and lucrative career. AwesomenessTV Network is one of those platforms, and is not only home to generational programming but is also a resource for up-an-coming influencers who are seeking to find professional management.

Other Gen-Z marketing innovations include gender-inclusive dolls, teen activist magazine covers, and LGBT cartoons that speak to this group's desire for tolerance and acceptance.
