"All of us in this room have a choice.... Let's build an environment and content that everyone can trust" Yesterday we hosted an event bringing together advertisers and industry professionals to discuss our research, Gen Z: Trends, Truth and Trust. It was great to be joined by guests including Jamie Laing and Nella Rose to hear how brands can succeed by being authentic and true to themselves. The event heard the challenges brands face in connecting with a generation that consume and engage with content in increasingly fragmented ways. Attendees learnt 6 lessons for brands 👇 1. Issues closer to home worry young people the most: Gen Z are experiencing crisis fatigue 2. Times are changing: traditional markers of adulthood are being delayed 3. Create your own joy: Gen Z are finding happiness in smaller, authentic moments 4. The need for male role models: a growing gender divide means some men feel they lack positive messages around masculinity and male identity 5. The power of trust: Gen Z do not automatically trust brands or media more than other groups, and need support to distinguish between biased and impartial content 6. Blurring the lines: 16-27 year-olds are digital natives and spend far more of their day on social media compared to other adults

“Victims of these sickening crimes will tell their story, I hope we will all watch this” – Baroness Hazarika addressing the House of Lords yesterday.
