Why Gen Z Avoids Your Brand (and What to Do About It)
Brands are very distanced from Gen Z... corporate jargon comes off as cringey. Teddy Solomon, the 23-year-old co-founder and CEO of Fizz, isn't just theorizing about Gen Z - he’s building their new favorite home.
In this episode, Lara sits down with Teddy at the 1 Billion Followers Summit in Dubai to discuss why "legacy" social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok have pivoted from social networks to pure entertainment - and why that’s left a massive void for real human connection.
- ✅ The "Non-Boomer Nextdoor": How Fizz combines the best of Reddit and Twitter for a hyper-local, private college experience.
- ✅ Legacy Media vs. Social Media: Why Teddy classifies TikTok and YouTube as "entertainment" rather than "social."
- ✅ Grassroots Growth Hacking: The story of how Teddy dropped out of Stanford and used donuts to launch a social media phenomenon.
- ✅ Advice for Millennial Marketers: How to stop being "out of touch" and get closer to the Gen Z consumer.
- ✅ The Future for Gen Alpha: Why the next generation will crave in-person (IRL) interaction more than ever.
