A PSFK Guide to Marketing, Engaging & Selling to Gen Z with experts at NRG eSports, SXM, Shutterfly

Gen Z, the first truly digitally native generation, are used to moving seamlessly between the online and offline worlds, freely expressing themselves across platforms and in real-life interactions. Generation Z has come of age during an unprecedented period of technological evolution, demographic shifts, and changing cultural norms.

In this webinar, PSFK iQ researchers look at how this generation is a central driving force for so much of the change. A unique freedom allows them to view the world through a unique lens, making creativity and open-mindedness second nature and rendering old constructs and binary norms irrelevant. Gen Z will also challenge the very notion of a brand and the need for retailers.

In an earlier study about this generation, we focused on how brands and retailers needed to adapt to engage and serve this audience. However, the new experiences being built now not only cater to Gen Z, but they are being built by Gen Z in their own vision.

This livestream is designed for all brand and retail change makers to help them understand and connect with a generation that is able to adapt to new tech and is simultaneously creator and consumer. We will learn about their values that can be highlighted with buzz words like authenticity, transparency, empowerment, customization and personalization.

Our free to watch livestream will spotlight on key topics:

-DAOs as digital coops with distributed responsibilities and egalitarian ambitions

– NFTs that offer new forms of community ownership

– Blockchain tech which is predicated on a publicly available general ledger offers new levels of transparency

– AI tools that allow for personalization at scale

– New ways of working that embrace more flexible, and ‘human’ approaches to work have broken out of the strictures of the 9-to-5
