What years were Zalpha born in?

A hybrid generation of Gen Z and Gen Alpha, Zalphas are between 9-14-years-old. They’re tech savvy (nay, digitally fluent) and have grown up online, meaning that their ideas and inspiration come from across the world. But what does this mean for brands and the future of youth marketing? And how can you futureproof your marketing strategies?
