Who is Gen Z? With $44B in buying power, you should probably find out

Driving Loyalty Through Cognitive Mobility: How Retail Marketers Can Use Connected Cars

Your customers are at the wheel of their connected cars at least 46 minutes a day--shopping, dining, and increasingly living life on the go. Cognitive mobility transforms those rituals and replaces the one-way messaging of radio and outdoor/billboards with interactive moments of delight that reinvent time on the move. Join a panel discussion with leaders from IBM, GM’s OnStar, and their retail partners to learn how top brands are already revolutionizing time spent in the car with a driver— and passenger-focused alternative to push advertising that guides them from their cars into your store.

Jointly developed in partnership with NRF, get an exclusive first-look at the largest in-depth Generation Z research study to date, spanning nearly 16,000 Gen Z consumers across 16 countries. Did you know that 67 percent of the Gen Z population prefers making purchases in a physical store? Since this generation holds an estimated $44B in buying power, that’s something that you should be considering now.
