Who’s the Better Hire for Marketing Strategy: Gen Z or Millennials?

When it comes to crafting impactful marketing strategies, who takes the crown? Gen Z or Millennials? As a proud Gen Z social media manager at Melrish, I might have my preferences, but let’s unpack the unique strengths each generation brings to the table. Spoiler: both are game-changers in their own right.

First, Let’s Set the Record Straight

Here’s the breakdown:

• Gen Z: Born between 1997 and 2012, we’re the “digital natives.” We grew up swiping, scrolling, and streaming from day one, making us pros at leveraging platforms like TikTok and Instagram to spark immediate engagement.
• Millennials: Born between 1981 and 1996, they witnessed the digital revolution unfold and became masters of adaptation. Their superpower? Storytelling and building deep connections that resonate.
