Has Your Business Started Marketing To Gen Z?
We're back with a new episode next week, but this week we're back in our archives to an episode from last season when Jason & Mark talked about the reason your business should care about reaching a Gen Z audience.
Generation Z is made up of over 65 million people in the United States and by 2020, they will account for 40% of all U.S. consumers. This is a cohort of young people that can't be ignored by your business. With the media's focus on Millennials over the past 10 years, many businesses are still largely talking about that group and not thinking about the next group that's coming through High School and College right now.
Join Jason & Mark as they do a deep dive into a cohort with over $44 billion in spending power.

Technology in eSports goes beyond the games that are played
We're heading back to the Grow Up archives for today's episode which aired last season.
While the world of merchandising isn't new, the technology that's being used to power it is. Esports is a relatively new industry where video games are played competitively and Nations is turning this captive audience into revenue through online and in-person sales of gaming merch.
Founder & CEO Patrick Mahoney got his start in the world of music merchandising for bands like the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Oasis. When he saw the opportunity to expand this business into Esports, he jumped on the opportunity. Technology has made the barrier to entry for online businesses lower than ever.
