ReportEXECUTIVE SUMMARY - KEY FINDINGS
Only 14% of agency leaders in the US and UK believe their business is ‘really good’ at embracing
the different needs and attitudes of each generation. For 38%, it’s a work in progress – which is
encouraging – but 11% worry that they are simply not doing it well.
The challenge is rooted in several factors including unequal expectations, attitudes and work
ethics across the generations, while social impact and purpose are increasingly complex levers when
it comes to retaining younger talent.
Inter-agency harmony is being disrupted. But it is not all bad - there is also a strong sense that
millennials are increasingly the generational bridge, bringing everyone
together, including Gen Z disruptors.
