From Insta-Gen to Boomer: How Generations Shape Our Future

Students_of_CEUSince 1997, E-Poll Market Research has studied consumer attitudes, behaviors and trends of entertainment and marketing. This critical intelligence has guided our research products and services over the decades so that our clients have broadest view of where the industry is heading.

As the generational divide and speed of technology collide, E-Poll conducted a major survey examining the four main generational groups, and in particular, contrasting the emerging “Insta” generation (ages 9-19) with their millennial (20-37) and older cohorts.

Where do they differ in their overall attitudes and behaviors? Where are they similar? Understanding these generations’ world views will aid in understanding how they will potentially impact our businesses in the form of entertainment consumption, brand preferences, and leisure time.

The 72-page report is available now. Click here for information.

• Millennials and Gen Xers are similar in that they are heavily engaged in the thick of life – working hard, supporting themselves and their families. Boomers are the most content of the generations, being most satisfied with key aspects of life.
