What’s going on?

The Honest Generation Millennials drove brands to be purposeful,

but Gen Z are demanding proof.

This generation were raised to question fake news, be suspicious of secrecy and hold sincerity as sacred.

They are the Honest Generation and they don’t expect brands to be perfect, but they do expect them to be truthful.

How do we reach this Honest Gen?
