I came across a jam-packed and provocative report on GEN Z trends and wanted to bring some of these new ideas to you!
In the new episode of The Marketing Companion, Brooke Sellas and I rock the podcast with discussions on:
- Why Gen Z is falling in love with raunchy podcasts
- How the pandemic dramatically changed the aesthetics of a generation
- The essential role of hype houses in the social media era
- How TikTok’s recommendation engine won a generation
- Will Gen Z be lazy smartphone activists?
- Why Pinterest is fueling several key Gen Z trends
- How we made the call on the cottage core trend!
… and much more.
I also reveal what I regard as one of the most interesting and non-obvious mega trends I’ve seen in years — the rise of unconventional creators! Why is Gen Z attracted to the absurd? Super fascinating! Here’s an example of weird Gen Z humor.
