Or it might be their motivations in life. The crucial thing here is to understand the differences and find the middle way to communicate with each generation. Brands and their communication strategies are significantly important because if a brand cannot be relevant to the new generation, it might cause a decrease in their loyalty rates and customer lifecycles.Therefore, it is important to know what the main differences of their target audiences from the generational aspect are for marketers.

This study will be covering the main motivational differences between Generation Z and Millennials in Turkiye and their Instagram usage motives, and discuss it based on the results of a conducted survey. Brands might change in time, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
