MP3•Episode home

It’s inevitable. Social media is changing. And if you’re not up to date with the trends, your strategy might be left in the dust. Since Gia Lee, the Chief Strategy Officer at NinetyEight, was last on the show, we wanted to hear about her perspective on the top trends today and how marketers can appeal to Gen Z audiences.

Full Episode Details

Gia Lee, the Chief Strategy Officer at NinetyEight, is a breath of fresh air in the social media space. As a Gen Z marketer herself, she’s already making waves in the industry with her unique insights into how brands can tap into younger markets (without sounding like that Steve Buscemi meme…)

In this episode, we hear a bit about her career story and what the top trends in social are today. The biggest shift she’s seen is a move away from big, mainstream trends that take over social. Now, niche-virality is the way forward. A niche trend might not reach everyone… but does it need to? Gia explains that finding your niche is pivotal to a modern social strategy as well as great community management.

We also hear some great advice for marketers on researching Gen Z audiences and ignoring the media stereotypes that can keep you from truly connecting with your audience.
