The Sunday Times Generation Next Youth survey is presented in association with HDI Youth Consultancy. The survey polls more than seven thousand youth from around the country, across more than seventy categories, and is considered the leading barometer of what SA’s kids, teens and young adults find on-trend and aspirational.
Reardon Sanderson, GM Commercial at Times Media says, “the Sunday Times Generation Next survey continues to deliver very relevant data on the perceptions and motivations behind the brand choices of SA’s youth. We believe the insights delivered are essential to marketers and advertisers, and we’re very proud to make it available to the industry.”
