Six Gen Z Marketing Mistakes You Can’t Afford in 2025

An exclusive guide from Blackbullion

See Why Behaviour-Led Data is a Marketing Imperative
Gen Z is on track to become the wealthiest generation in history, but they won’t engage with outdated marketing tactics. Static targeting, broad campaigns, and influencer hype aren’t enough to win their trust or their attention.

This guide from Blackbullion reveals how behaviour-led insights are transforming student marketing, helping brands stop wasting budget and start delivering real outcomes. With over £25m distributed in funding and 500,000+ young people engaged, we’ve seen first-hand how relevance, trust, and smarter targeting make the difference.

In this guide, you’ll discover:

The Budget Trap: Why broad targeting burns cash and what to do instead

Relevance at Scale: How personalised campaigns drive 100s of completed applications

Real-Time Signals: Using live student behaviour to adapt and stay ahead

Digital First: Why students don’t live at billboards or career fairs

Outcomes That Count: Measuring applications and funding, not empty clicks

Built, Not Borrowed: How to earn lasting trust beyond influencer hype
