Are you still active on Facebook? If you are thinking that Facebook is only a place for your mom to hang out - think again. Facebook is gaining traction with the younger generation aka Gen Z. And on top of that more and more boomers are discovering TikTok. What in the alternate universe is happening?
Look at the detailed numbers in this article, and make sure to keep this in mind next time you talk to your clients or create a marketing strategy.
Talking about Gen Z, they are not only less on TikTok, but they are also being replaced (okay, that's a strong word) by Gen Alpha.
Yep, yet again, I needed to learn new words to stay up to date with the trends. Test your Gen Alpha knowledge here.

Ask, and you shall receive. Several of you guys have emailed me asking for an onboarding video and I am delivering it to you this week on YouTube.
