Your monthly insight into reaching Australia’s student population
From epic new partnerships to understanding what’s trending with young people, we’re excited to update you on what we’ve been up to in May.
What’s important to students right now
Over the coming months, we will share the latest insights into the lives of young people. Plus, stay tuned for our Top 100 Youth Brands report, coming soon!

In-store spenders
When it comes to shopping online vs. in store, Gen Z are fairly split. 58% told us they prefer shopping in-store (mostly girls), while 42% told us they would buy everything online if they could (mostly boys).

Student deals
Gen Z are often savvy and look for brands that suit their lower budgets (as long as it doesn’t come at the cost of quality). Three quarters of Gen Z (76%) told us that they are more likely to buy from a brand that offers student discount than one that doesn’t.

Loyal to brands
Gen Z is the most brand-loyal generation! In our recent survey, four in five (81%) Gen Z respondents agreed that they would buy from them for a long time once they find a brand they like.
