Multigenerational messaging

This is the latest report in the monthly Adobe Stock Cultural Insights series, which includes a curated collection of related visuals and focuses on topics that are visually in flux, driven by changes in the world and their effects on consumer priorities., As people live longer, healthier lives, more consumers of all ages are dismissing generational tropes and divisions. We’re seeing a rise in the number of people who value and prioritize the ways they spend their time and with whom they spend it, regardless of age. While there are behavioral similarities and life events within generations, we know that people aren't homogenous. There are 65-year-olds on TikTok and 21-year-olds saving for retirement., In a world that’s becoming more multigenerational, appealing to all age demographics in brand messaging is a smart strategy — whether it be through nostalgic content or campaigns that debunk ageist stereotypes.
