Understanding our young, idealistic, pro-African go-getting generation. By 2030, Gen Zers will be the world’s largest consumer base. Are African marketers ready for a dominant new group with unique characteristics? By Cara Bouwer. As consumers, gen z (those born between 1996 and 2012) and the older Millennia’s (born between 1981 and 1996) “often put their wallets where their values are, stopping or initiating relationships based on how companies treat the environment, protect personal data and position themselves on social and political issues”. This is the assessment of the world’s two youngest consumer generations by Deloitte Global, in the 2021 Millennial and Gen Z Survey. Much of what we know about Gen Z has come through reports such as this, which often lump the two generations together. However, as older Gen Zers enter the workforce it is becoming clear that they require a unique marketing touch. Recently, research company Kantar hosted a webinar devoted to Africa’s Gen Z consumer. The insights included reflections on what pushes Gen Z’s buttons, what turns them off, who they are and what they want to be. As with previous generations, Gen Zers want to make an impact and shake things up. The difference is that these digital natives have technology firmly in their corner – and they aren’t afraid to use it. According to Ndeye Diagne, Lagos based MD of Kantar West Africa, Gen Z may still be finding its identity, but already brands are being forced to catch up as they seek to understand these connected “social media beasts” who are tech-optimistic, authentic, self-focused, socially aware, impact seeking, vulnerable, fun-loving and committed to their African identity. While it is easy to get sucked into the ease with which Gen Zers engage with the digital world through preferred platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and TikTok, a focus on values is equally important. Kantar’s Chief Client Officer in Nigeria, Tamara Ojeaga, says Gen Zers share some common values with older generations, such as independence and self-determination, but they spice this up with their innate creativity and innovation, plus a keen desire for authenticity. Babara Omwayi, CEO of Spark Communication, a below-the-line marketing agency based in Nairobi, recounts how she came to realize the Gen Z perspective on life tends to be completely different to her own, as a Millennial (also sometimes known as Generation Y) consumer. During a meal with a young Gen Z male, she was surprised to learn that had invested 600,000 Kenyan Shilling (US$5,000) on buying a motorcycle. “This surprised me because, in my opinion, investing in a parcel of land presents more investment benefits. I can bet you that his father would also ascribe to my school of thought on this matter,” Omwayi wrote in Sokoni, the magazine of the Marketing Society of Kenya. “Out of concern, I asked the lad why he chose to spend such an amount on the particular asset instead of securing his future through land purchase. His response brought to the forefront some fundamental truths about the generation.” Among these “fundamental truths”, Omways says, is that Gen Zers live for the moment, since tomorrow is unknown to them. They attach deep value to things that make them happy and inspire them, such that they do not mind spending money to experience these moments or recreate them. “The inclination towards valuing experiences has gone a long way towards the power and influence they yield in shaping shopping patterns. They are not motivated by money, rather by value.” She adds: “This inclination makes them attach value to what is important to them and influences their shopping patterns, careers and employers. Considering this fact, brands and companies must earn their trust by developing solutions that align with their values.” (Strategic Marketing for Africa, 2022) In line with the above case you are required to; a) Discuss how multi-national companies can effectively gather insights about Gen Z consumer preferences, behaviors and consumption patterns.
