Last week I spoke at INMA’s World Congress for News Media about creating content for Gen Z. Because it’s now entirely unacceptable to gatekeep I’m sharing my learnings with you too.

Well, before I started 🔥highly flammable🔥 I was Head of Editorial at Snapchat. In Q4 2020, over 90% of the U.S. Gen Z population watched content curated by my team so it was my actual full time job to understand what makes them tick. And yes, what you’ve heard is true, they are unlike previous generations.
