Ad/Marketing Effectiveness Report

Gen Z and Millennials have changed the marketing funnel (again).  Their entire purchase journey can begin and end in one place: on social media. But they’re not always seeing traditional ads, even on those feeds, or they’re paying to go ad-free on platforms like streaming to avoid unwanted noise.  Instead, other, more unique marketing tactics are grabbing their attention—like unintentional marketing in the form of a random person’s brand recommendation.

In the 2024 Ad/Marketing Effectiveness report, YPulse shares insights on young consumers’ ad preferences, where they’re being inspired to purchase products, and what kinds of ads leave a lasting positive impression on them. (Hint: it’s not AI-generated ones.)
