Spotlight Sessions

Driving Conversations for Gen Alpha

One of the key sessions at CMS 2024 will focus on the emerging Generation Alpha, the cohort born between 2010 and 2025. This generation is unique, having been exposed to remote classrooms, streaming services, and portable digital devices from early childhood.

As a result, they represent a new frontier for digital marketers who must adapt their strategies to engage with these digital natives effectively.

Driving Conversations: A New Look at Digital Strategy for Gen Alpha

This session will particularly focus on the growing trend of discussion-based user-generated content, which is beginning to outpace traditional photo and video content in terms of engagement.

Recent studies show that short-form video content is now the dominant format, particularly among younger audiences. This shift is driven by the higher viewership and shareability of short-form videos, making them a crucial component of any content strategy aimed at Gen Alpha.

However, the real value lies in how these videos spark discussions and engagement, turning passive viewers into active participants.

Strategic Takeaways for Brands

For brands looking to connect with Gen Alpha, the session will provide actionable insights on how to create content that not only entertains but also fosters a community around shared interests and discussions.

This requires a deep understanding of the platforms Gen Alpha frequents and the type of content that resonates with them.

The importance of authenticity and relatability in content will also be emphasized. Gen Alpha values transparency and genuine connections, making it crucial for brands to engage in conversations rather than just broadcasting messages.

This means creating content that invites interaction, whether through comments, shares, or user-generated content.
