In a world where entire categories are behaving uniformly, we look for ways to break the status quo. Because it’s rarely about what you say, it’s all about what you do. Playing it safe is dangerous. Let’s cause some mischief.
! IT`S OUT IN THE WILD !
cl!ckbait`s ‘This Is Not a Report: Does Gen Z Believe in Me?’
A nationwide survey gave us the statistics, but we interviewed a selection of people born between 1996 - 2012 about those findings to better understand what is making this audience tick.
cl!ckbait is releasing content from the report each week on Substack (link in bio) DM for the full report
...
88% of Gen Z are working out, but the fitness industry has a perfectionism problem.
Two thirds started exercising to manage stress and anxiety, and to feel more in control, but the influx of fitness content promoting an idealised physique, adds to the pressures they`re trying escape.
Brands can be part of the solution.

Game. Set. Match. 🍓🎾
Another incredible Wimbledon wrapped up. Over the past fortnight, we hosted 30+ celebrities, media and creators on behalf of @pimmsgb, resulting in hundreds of pieces of coverage across national, showbiz and lifestyle media.
Until next year. 🍹

The World Cup is the biggest show on earth, so it’s natural for brands to want to play in the space.
But with corporate allocations and ticket prices at an all time high, are sponsors in danger of being seen as prohibitors rather than enablers?
Creative Director @lewisdurkin talks about putting match goers first and how US politicians have been champions of inclusion.

Whilst the nation were talking about the start of England’s first game, we were raising awareness of ‘The Other Kick-Off’ time… 11:37pm.
Supporting @womens_aid by shining a light on the increase in domestic abuse that can occur after major sporting events.
Sparking conversation across national titles like BBC News, LBC, The Independent, The Guardian and Metro.
...
The good news: we’re sharing our tried & tested Gen Z framework over at cl!ckbait, designed to help you crack one of the biggest challenges in new briefs
The not-so-good news: we’re subscriber-only again 😉

Red wine in the fridge? Apparently, yes 🍷❄️
Our latest reactive story with @ocadouk revealed that younger Brits are embracing chilled red wine and ditching traditional wine "rules" in favour of a more relaxed, Mediterranean-inspired approach.
The story sparked a national conversation, securing top tier coverage across The Times, The Guardian, British Vogue, Grazia, BBC Radio 4 PM, Times Radio and TalkSport.
A great reminder that some of the most powerful stories come from spotting a simple consumer trend early, backing it with the right sales data and turning it into a real, trending conversation people want to hear.
With summer only just getting started, we`re sure this trend still has plenty of room to chill... 🍷☀️

Staying up late to watch the football tonight.... why not throw a wash on at the same time?
This month we launched @eon_next’s Watch and Wash campaign to encourage football fans to get their washing done while they cheer on England at night, making the most of off-peak electricity prices and saving on their bills.
We joined forces with epic England legends Jermain Defoe, Toni Duggan and Ray Parlour to get behind our cause and have already achieved some big coverage wins, scoring 300+ hits and counting.
...
35% of Brits believe @harryredknapp Redknapp should’ve been England’s manager...
Yesterday Harry joined Heart Breakfast hosts, Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston to chat about our latest @ocadouk campaign, delivering at half-time throughout the big matches🎙️
...
A collaboration like no other… 🍔👑
@pringles.uk and @burgerkinguk are back with a limited-time menu item: Pringles Sour Cream & Onion Chicken Fries.
Available now at Burger King UK restaurants, we marked the launch last week with a one-day activation at a local London Burger King restaurant with The Crumb Exchange. Fans were able to get their hands on them early if they swapped in their crumb filled Pringles Sour Cream & Onion tubes - a unique way to season a fan favourite.
...
69% of Brits have missed an iconic football moment after leaving the room at the wrong time..
Which is why @ocadouk is introducing half-time deliveries, 15 minute slots for limited edition bundles - meaning fans won’t have to miss a kick during England games this summer.
And who better to motivate a cast of real Ocado drivers on the importance of timing, teamwork and precision? @harryredknapp, naturally.
...
Our Raise the Bar campaign with @samsunguk is in full swing, with thousands voting for their local pub to get an upgraded match day set-up in time for a summer of football! ⚽️
️
The campaign is capturing attention on and offline, with coverage continuing to build, including this brilliant double-page spread in the Daily Star this weekend.
Stay tuned for the results later this week…
