Gen Zers are entering a golden age, with marketers trying to classify them and figure out what they like.

In Morning Consult’s study of Gen Z’s top 25 favorite brands, the tech and media company used four metrics—brand favorability, trust, community impact and net promoter score—to determine its rankings.
