From Boring to Banging – How Youth Consultancy Can Transform Your Industry

Published by The Participation People - Youth Engagement & Consultation Specialists on

Many industries today, from finance to insurance, are struggling with how they are perceived by younger generations. In fact, 67% of 16-24-year-olds describe industries like insurance as “boring.” With Gen Z and Alpha soon becoming our future leaders, consumers, and decision-makers, it’s crucial to connect with them now rather than later if we want our industries to remain relevant and resilient in the face of rapid change. 

But how do we bridge that gap?

The answer is simple: youth consultancy.

No matter your sector, if your goal is to engage with young people, you need their insights to guide your approach. Whether through focus groups or by listening to our Young Consultants in keynotes or bespoke training sessions, their firsthand perspectives offer invaluable insights that drive meaningful change and help shape future strategies.

Engaging with young people in a meaningful way not only sparks innovation within your company but also fosters positive social impact. By positioning young generations as change-makers and experts by experience, businesses can tap into a wellspring of fresh ideas. What’s more, when brands show that they genuinely care about young people and involve them in decision-making, free from tokenism, the relationship between the brand and the youth becomes significantly stronger. After all, if you don’t show that you care about them, why should they care about you?

Failing to engage with younger generations means missing out on your future audience. To avoid that, businesses must seize the opportunity to understand and collaborate with them. If you find yourself in an industry that young people perceive as “boring,” like insurance, it’s time to ask why. Engage in conversations with young people and discover what aspects of your company or sector fail to capture their interest. From there, co-produce solutions with them and work together to craft strategies that are impactful and meaningful. Youth consultancy can guide your efforts, ensuring your approach is efficient and aligned with the needs of these demographics.

Youth consultancy doesn’t just deliver creativity and innovation – it also saves time and money by providing clear direction. It’s a no-brainer for any organisation that wants to stay relevant in the eyes of future generations.

Together, we can elevate your brand, taking it from boring to banging.
