Back to Brand School: Marketing Lessons from Gen Z
Class is officially back in session! In this episode of Marketing Insights, host and career coach Shanita Baraka Akintonde sits down with two powerhouse Gen Z voices—Desmond Walker and Alyssa Gail Martin—to decode what brands must learn if they want to connect with the next generation of consumers.
Desmond, a sharp creative strategist with a pulse on cultural shifts, and Alyssa, a dynamic communicator and thought leader for her generation, break down how Gen Z is remixing the rules of marketing. From authentic storytelling to TikTok trends and brand loyalty (or the lack thereof), this conversation is loaded with lessons every marketer needs to hear.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why authenticity isn’t a buzzword for Gen Z—it’s the baseline.
- How social media has reshaped the branding process
- What brands keep getting wrong when trying to market to younger audiences.
- Fresh strategies for engaging Gen Z in “sticky” ways.
