The latest three adult generational cohorts (18 years old and older) (i.e., Generation X, Generation Y and Generation Z) are outlined under the lenses of digital technological socio-cultural culture, the media environment, and the audiovisual industry. In this framework, an audiovisual-supported case study of the Greek chocolate “LACTA” which is a characteristic and typical paradigm of re-approaching the brand, (a) through branded content from and through the Internet and social media; as well as (b) through generations is presented. The ultimate research purpose of this article is to spotlight the role of communication in sustainable development to reach a better and more sustainable future through multi-generational marketing. Therefore, historical elements through a rich bibliographic literature as a source of further study regarding the Internet, social media, and the last three generational cohorts with adults are provided.
