The Voice of a Genration
with Jay Richards, CEO at Imagen Insights
It's time that the advertising industry wake up and realise there's new kids on the consumer block: Gen Z are here. They've got a lot to say and they're actually older and more mature than you think. Jay Richards, CEO at Imagen Insights, joins Julia and Kasey for episode 3 of Off Record, On Point Season 3 as they dive into what Jay would do differently setting up a company again, how it is working with Gen Z, and what mistakes brands are still making.
Disclaimer: When we say off the record we mean it; we often touch on sensitive issues and hard to talk about topics. The topics discussed in today’s episode are Gen Z, age, and general workplace experiences. Please listen responsibly and check out our resources.
