Description

Ep 148: Gen Z music fans are able to immediately sense when an artist’s communications with fans feel inauthentic. But marketing has in its nature an element of inauthenticity – so how do you maintain a feeling of authenticity when marketing to this young, online-only generation? And how can artists and teams market effectively directly to these younger fans or potential fans?


Keturah Cummings is founder/CEO of Forward Slash, a social media agency and content production studio that specialises in connecting with youth audiences – and she explains where marketing efforts should be focused in an increasingly D2C environment.
