In our latest podcast episode, we talk to Nadya Okamoto, co-founder of August and Gen Z marketing expert, about how we can better understand, support, and leverage Gen Z in the workplace. Join us as we unravel the myths and misconceptions that often surround GenZ.
Nadya's fresh perspective comes from her own experiences and expertise in understanding Gen Z's mindset and motivations. Together, we challenge the stereotypes and preconceived notions about Gen Z's approach to work and explore the real-life dynamics of this tech-savvy and socially conscious generation. Tune in and gain valuable insights to bridge the generation gap in the modern work environment.
In this episode we deconstruct Gen Z's complex relationship with social media and their demand for transparency, accountability, and the value they place on human connection in a digitized world. We also delve into the hot topic of gender inclusivity from a Gen Z perspective, their professional expectations, and strategies to facilitate their career advancement. We also examine Gen Z's brand loyalty, the importance of brand representation, and its impact on their purchasing decisions.
