The Power of Gen Z Marketing 🚀 In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, understanding and engaging with Generation Z is crucial for any business/organization aiming for long-term success. As a marketing specialist, I had the incredible opportunity to work with high-profile brands in Spain, such as Zara, MANGO, CaixaBank, Estrella Galicia, Estrella Damm, Oysho, Desigual, Elganso, and the Hotel Chain of Paradores. Together with a group of outstanding students from around the world, we delved into research and presented our innovative ideas to help these brands better understand and connect with the Gen Z audience. 🌟 Why Target Gen Z? Gen Z, born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, are true digital natives. They’ve grown up with smartphones, social media, and instant access to information. Their purchasing decisions are heavily influenced by online content, making a robust digital presence essential. Gen Z spends a significant portion of their time on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. Engaging content on these platforms can quickly go viral, amplifying brand visibility and engagement. They care deeply about social and environmental issues. Brands that demonstrate genuine commitment to sustainability, diversity, and social justice can build strong, loyal relationships with this demographic. Influencers play a pivotal role in shaping Gen Z’s opinions and purchasing decisions. Collaborating with influencers who resonate with your brand’s values can lead to authentic and impactful marketing campaigns. During my time working with those brands, our focus was on analyzing and enhancing their existing marketing strategies, particularly to engage the Gen Z demographic. We conducted comprehensive research to understand the preferences, behaviors, and values. This included surveys, focus groups, and social media analysis to gather real-time insights. By identifying gaps and opportunities in the current strategies, we proposed enhancements that would resonate more with Gen Z. This included optimizing social media content, creating interactive campaigns, and leveraging user-generated content. Our team brainstormed and presented new, innovative ideas for future campaigns. From gamified experiences to virtual reality try-ons, we pushed the boundaries to create memorable and engaging marketing initiatives. As Gen Z continues to grow in purchasing power, businesses must prioritize understanding and engaging with this dynamic demographic. By staying attuned to their values, preferences, and digital habits, brands can not only capture their attention but also build lasting relationships. Drop me a message for a possible collaboration to improve your organization's marketing strategies and bring fresh insights from GenZ! #GenZMarketing #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #BrandEngagement #FutureOfMarketing #SocialMediaStrategy #InfluencerMarketing #Sustainability #CustomerEngagement #MarketingStrategy #Marketing #GenZ #Brands

To date, Timeleft has organized 8,000 dinners in 70 cities around the world, attended by 50,000 people who have frequented over 1,200 restaurants. Marta Unturbe Portela assures us that Timeleft has improved the way some users interact: "There are people who have changed their lives in terms of meeting sports partners or, perhaps, who felt lonely because of a change of city and told us that at dinners, they made a lot of friends. What's amazing is that there's no specific profile that goes to the dinners. Timeleft users are of all nationalities, ages, marital status and tastes". The reality is that these initiatives represent a new and attractive proposition in the field of social applications. By focusing on genuine human relationships rather than on dating, they open up a unique space on the market. Users can turn an ordinary dinner into an evening full of discoveries and new friendships.
