That quote is aptly applied to social media marketing.
With baby boomers, Generation X, millennials and Generation Z consumers plugging into their social media feeds on average of 17 times per day, it’s a wonder that social media marketers don’t just throw their hands up in disgust and walk off the job every day.

Navigating these waters can be tricky.
For example, Generation Z (ages 13 to 19) tends to eschew Facebook, instead preferring to use Instagram to connect with friends and consume content.

Tons of Gen-X consumers have Twitter accounts, but only half of them are active users. Seventy percent of baby boomers have disposable income, but good luck finding a way to get them to spend it.
