Decoding Brand Affinity Report 2025

YPulse’s brand tracker measures brand affinity through 20 unique, youth-specific diagnostics to help brands understand how to win with young consumers—and our Decoding Brand Affinity report helps brands understand it all. This deep exploration of what the diagnostics driving affinity truly mean to young consumers was last published in 2022, and we’re back with new data on the diagnostics. Each diagnostic analysis includes a ranking showing the top brands performing by each diagnostic, from “cool” to “gets me” to “makes the world better.” We’re measuring brand affinity with the things that really matter to Gen Z and Millennials, and this is your guide.

  • Data-backed definitions for all 20 diagnostics and exactly how young people say brands can achieve these measures
  • Top 25 brands rankings for each diagnostic among 13-39-year-olds
  • Spotlights exploring the brands winning on each diagnostic

80 pages, North America report is based on a survey of 1500 13-39-year-olds in the U.S. and Canada, fielded in October 2024
