Gen Z is changing how we communicate. But they're also redefining how culture is created, shared, and remixed – and brands aren't keeping up.

In this episode of The CMO Show, Ryan Ferguson, Snap Inc. ANZ Managing Director and Eugene Healey, Brand Strategist explore how closed networks, social media, and creator-led storytelling are reshaping the foundations of modern marketing.

For brands, the shift from public platforms to private, peer-to-peer spaces is more than a media challenge - it's a mindset shift. In a world where attention is earned, not bought, marketers must learn to integrate into communities, both without interrupting but accepting of their own brand disruption.

Ryan and Eugene unpack the paradox of authenticity, the rise of remix culture, and why tone of voice without strategy is just cosplay. They reveal how creators are becoming cultural translators, how brands can test and scale messaging in real time, and why the future belongs to those who embrace play, not perfection.

Tune in for a sharp, strategic look at how Gen Z's digital fluency is transforming brand strategy, from top-down campaigns to bottom-up co-creation.
