Media Makers Meet – Mx3 is proud to announce the launch of its NextGen Panel. The aim? To help media leaders better understand Gen Z consumers and engage them in more relevant and powerful ways.
Engaging Gen Z is one of the biggest challenges for media companies, not least because this vitally important demographic – representing 25% of the global population – is thinly represented (if at all) at senior management level within media companies. With this generation representing the future for media companies, both in terms of audience content consumption as well as employee hiring, the stakes have never been higher.
In an attempt to rectify this, and to provide both valuable and usable business insights, Mx3 is proud to announce its NextGen Panel. Newly launched for January 2024, the panel will be an ongoing, monthly initiative designed to offer deep insights into the mindset of Gen Z consumers, with a special focus on media trends and consumption patterns.
In partnership with Mx3, the NextGen Panel is organised and produced by Pierre Caulliez, Co-Founder of Yoof Agency, one of Europe’s leading Gen Z engagement specialists. The first panel session was moderated by Anna Sophie Herrmann who also wrote the panel’s first reportage, looking at key 2024 media trends from a Gen Z perspective, which will be published imminently.
