Let’s talk about it! Drop a comment. Gen Z—Reduce Pollution Generated By Digital Advertising: Pollution is a worldwide issue that has also caused concerns in digital spaces. A generated ad impression produces almost 1.09 grams of carbon dioxide (equivalent to 2.5 plastic straws). Many are unaware of how impactful the advertising industry’s digital cultures and marketing tactics are to their carbon footprint. Gen Z is changing the workplace by leading the new age of technology and directing efforts to reduce workplace pollution, including working with energy-efficient demand-side platforms (DSP).

Working off this pain point, Taco Bell is building connections across audiences by creating a positive outlook on retirement. Using the company's philosophy and slogan, Live Más, a two-day experience in San Diego called "Early Retirement Community" encouraged people to live their lives to the fullest. Reward members over 21 indulged in shopping, golf, and aerobics to nostalgically connect with consumers of all ages and build connections with the brand.

For many, there are added security concerns and navigating the changing space of e-commerce domains, where AI art is increasingly prominent. In addition to a 45-second TV spot, Etsy’s New York office displayed OOH banners promoting "Made by, Designed By, and Handpicked By” including the names of featured sellers, taking a human-centric approach to create optimism for the future of technology regarding its evolution.

A new update, “My Week,” allows users to create private social media journals where they can select who can view and follow the content. Unlike Instagram’s “Close Friends” feature, Google Photos eliminates third-party social attributes like viral trends and remains personal with its approach to having close friends see your weekly updates on the carousel post. While this feature doesn’t reinvent the wheel, Google strategically provides an addition to the app that speaks to audiences growing concerns and desire for privacy.
