Georgina Iceton, Vice President, AEG Global Partnerships, shares her insight in Campaign UK on the power of live in forging brand cut-through with Gen Z audiences. "The opportunity for meaningful brand engagement in live events has never been greater. Seventy-four per cent of the Gen Z festival attendees we surveyed agreed that they were more open to new ideas at live music events. As brands fight for attention in an increasingly cluttered media and digital landscape, live events remain one of the last places where authentic, undistracted engagement is possible." https://lnkd.in/es5_Qrhs #thoughtleadership #brandpartnerships #sponsorships #poweroflive
