Gen Z Panel — San Francisco
How would you answer this question: What signals tell you a brand ‘gets’ Gen Z versus when they’re obviously trying too hard?
I think nowadays people can tell when you are being authentic versus trying to hard. Gen Z relies on authenticity, so getting real people who don't come across as influencers versus people who we know in certain spaces can seem a little performative. Especially now as we are transitioning into a time where everything feels nostalgic, it's important to keep that transparency, and avoid bringing on real people who are wanting to share a message compared to people who will click because we see them on our screens.

Gen Z Panel — San Francisco
Are you located in or around the SF area for the date of the event (JAN 20th) and do you have public speaking experience?
Yes! I work in San Francisco, live in the Bay Area. I have spoken at a few of my work events also in SF to pitch to donors and large organizations. In addition to this, overall just general speaking on video or to smaller audiences in a group setting
