State of the Youth Nation
The leading Gen Z insight tracker
00:02
Josephine Hansom, VP, Youth: State of the Youth Nation is YouthSight’s Gen Z insight tracker, keeping leading brands plugged into youth trends. We’ve been tracking the attitudes and behaviours of 16 to 24 since 2015, giving clients access to over 700 questions when they need it, which means that our clients commission less ad-hoc research, get instant answers and get to save money at the same time.

So, what’s new?
What’s exciting is that we’ve changed the way that our clients can access our insights. Yes, you can still access them directly from our dashboard hub. The universal search is still there. You can type in what you’re looking for and our latest reports and data will pop up for you to look at, but what’s changed is that we’ve introduced distribution lists.
00:52
So, clients can share contact details of colleagues who need to know what’s going on with the Gen Z customers. And we send them our latest reports, invite them to our latest webinars, taking the weight off the central insight or marketing lead and, as a result, making your whole organisation more Gen Z aware.
01:10
So, what else?
We’re running many more webinars than ever before for our members, keeping them up-to-date with what’s hot and what’s not with our culture lists.
01:21
Our new culture lists give our clients the lowdown on popular culture. We regularly ask young people to tell us their favourite influencer, what podcasts they’re listening to, what TV shows they like, amongst loads of other things.
01:34
And we explain these trends, and explain what’s making them popular. But don’t worry. We’re keeping our most popular events and workshops.
01:42
One of the best-loved features of State of the Youth Nation is that you get to challenge us to use our data, our IP, our insights, to address your youth marketing issues.
01:54
We still share our opinion, we’ll still give you actionable recommendations and our reports will deliver a blueprint to strengthen your Gen Z marketing strategy.

“Here at ITV Research, we love State of the Youth Nation. The reports that are generated always make for a brilliant read and it’s great to have instant access to such a vast wealth of discoverable data about young people.” ITV
