EEGS Webinar on Engaging Gen Z – Insights from Ana D’Arrigo

Reading Time: < 1 minute

On October 15th, EEGS hosted a dynamic webinar titled “Winning over Gen Z: How to Engage the Next Generation of Players”, featuring renowned speaker Ana D’Arrigo. This session marked the first webinar since the summer break and was highly anticipated.

The webinar was a practical, experience-based discussion, enriched with real-world examples from leading companies. Ana shared valuable insights drawn from her personal experience, offering attendees actionable strategies to connect with the elusive Gen Z audience.

The session commenced with a thorough exploration of “Who are Gen Z?” – the first digital natives, highly tech-savvy, and increasingly challenging to target through traditional marketing. Ana highlighted that Gen Z-ers are distinct: they prioritize authenticity, lead with purpose, express themselves creatively, value transparency, are entrepreneurial, and driven by their values. Despite having short attention spans, they engage deeply when content resonates with them.

A key takeaway from the webinar was the shift needed in marketing approaches: “To win Gen Z, stop marketing to them – start creating with them,” a powerful insight echoed by ChatGPT and emphasized by Ana. Instead of mass marketing, personalized, authentic content that involves Gen Z in the creation process is essential.

Further, Ana discussed the future of marketing to Gen Z, emphasizing ongoing engagement and authenticity. She actively engaged with the audience, responding to intriguing questions and fostering a lively discussion.
