Talking Teens at Mumbrella Retail Summit Yesterday, Nature’s Aliya Hasan and Paddy Cain explored how brands can connect with Gen Alpha and Gen Z as digital habits and identities evolve. During the session, Aliya shared insights from our latest report "Navigating the digital divide: Australians speak out on the under-16 social media ban" that suggest not all social platforms are seen the same way by teens. YouTube stands apart, viewed as a space for learning, creativity, and entertainment rather than just another social feed. This perspective reinforces why the government excluded YouTube from the under-16 social media ban, as covered in Mumbrella.

Should YouTube be exempt from Australia’s social media ban for under-16s? New government proposals to exclude YouTube from the upcoming ban have sparked debate, with platforms like Meta and TikTok pushing back. But what do young Australians actually think? Our latest findings reveal that teens overwhelmingly see YouTube as a positive force—one that fosters learning, creativity, and entertainment—while TikTok is more often linked to social media addiction and inappropriate content. * 61% of teens say YouTube positively impacts society, vs. 35% for TikTok. * Half of teens believe TikTok harms their wellbeing, compared to just 16% for YouTube. * YouTube is seen as a platform for learning and creativity, while TikTok is more often linked to social media addiction. With regulation looming, understanding how young Australians perceive these platforms is crucial.

To mark International Women’s Day, we hosted a conversation with three inspiring leaders—Ellie Vince (Chobani), Aimee Hutton (nee Jellett) (Seek), and Kerrie Wade—who shared their career journeys, challenges, and leadership insights with our team at Nature's Melbourne office. Key takeaways: *Eat feedback for breakfast. Seek it out and then come to the dinner with muscles. Make sure you're ready to show what you've learned and how you're growing. *Careers have their ups and downs, just like the seasons. Surround yourself with diverse voices you can turn to for guidance at every stage of your journey. *Imposter syndrome is a constant companion on the road to growth. Acknowledge it—it means you’re pushing your boundaries and stepping out of your comfort zone. Their stories reminded us that leadership is about resilience, empathy, and continuous growth. Thank you, Ellie, Aimee, and Kerrie! #NatureInsights #IWD2025 #Leadership

Low-cost, streamlined brand tracking solutions are on the rise, offering a tempting alternative to full-service models. But are they delivering strategic value—or just data? #natureinsights #MRX #brandtracking
In recent years, low-cost, streamlined brand-tracking solutions have grown increasingly popular. Whether custom-built or available as off-the-shelf SaaS products, these light tracking approaches are especially attractive to clients who have basic or emerging brand measurement needs. They provide a cost-effective way to monitor a select set of key metrics against relevant competitors at the desired frequency. On the surface, such solutions seem like attractive alternatives to full-service, strategic trackers, attracting not just start-ups and small brands, but also tempting more established organisations to shift away from the higher-investment models. It is essential however to approach the decision about which type of tracker best suits your needs through not just a budgetary lens, but also considering the value they’ll deliver. Clients with strategic trackers emphasise that their trackers are far more than simple data delivery vehicles. They serve as high-value advisory tools, where the external agency partner offers strategic guidance, and comes with a perspective and point of view not only interpreting current market conditions but also providing insight into future trends. In best practice strategic tracking relationships, significant agency time is spent not on basic data analysis but instead on interpretation through contextualisation against other data such as sales metrics, other KPIs and of course macro and cultural trends. We are observing that in at a time when some marketing teams face budget cuts and downsizing, external agencies are increasingly leant upon to play this advisory role, at the same time helping clients realise efficiencies through a range of AI applications. Lighter-touch or self-serve tracking solutions definitely have their place, and are certainly something a number of Nature clients ask us to design for them. When a tracker is low scale and rudimentary in design, it’s important to remember that that doesn’t mean the client doesn’t value advice and a perspective. In actual fact, sometimes having fewer, or more generic, metrics to hand required more not less expert interpretation. Just because a tracker is light in design and budget does not abrogate the vendor from servicing the client with professionals who are expert in research, consulting, or brand strategy – capable of answering substantive questions. While a classic ‘account manager’ service model may be sufficient for resolving technical issues, it tends to fall short when clients want help interpreting data or deciding on strategic next steps. In sum, when designing a brand tracker, it’s important to identify upfront exactly what you need and place value on, and also consider how your needs may morph, evolve and change as the questions asked of the track become potentially more (or less) complex, frequent, and interpretively onerous. #natureinsights #mrx #brandtracking
