The Sunday Times GenNext event in partnership with Yellowwood, now in its 18th year, is the leading annual youth brand preference and consumer behaviour event. Join Lebang Kgosana - in conversation with Head of Advertising and sales at Arena Holdings, Eben Gewers - as they discuss youth marketing and the evolution and growth of the project since its infancy.

Local is lekker right? So how should local brands appeal to the youth more authentically? Find out why the Sunday Times GenNext campaign is so important in helping South African brands change the perception of buying and supporting local. Lebang Kgosana chats to Siyabonga Zungu, Brand Manager at Proudly SA, about supporting local brands, and how the youth market can enhance the value of local brands.

The youth of South Africa are resilient, creative, and determined to succeed. They are a highly influential, yet largely misunderstood market. Research company Yellowwood conducted research for the Sunday Times GenNext study, and found that the youth have 55% of the spending power in South Africa, but only 20% of advertising is directed at them. Lebang Kgosana chats with Refilwe Maluleke, Managing Director at Yellowwood, about the minds of the South African youth, and the new young professional age category, which has been added to the awards this year.

The 17th annual Sunday Times GenNext awards are here! The online event promises to be entertaining and informative, for both brands and markets. Lebang Kgosana speaks to GenNext Awards MC, Zanele Potelwa, about how brands can connect better with the youth in South Africa. She also chats to Eben Gewers, Head of Advertising Sales and Trade Marketing at Arena Holdings, about how the Sunday Times has managed to remain a relevant and credible source of information all these years.
