    🚀 Heading Into NRF 2025: Let’s Talk UGC, Gen Z, and Shoppable Video 🎥🛍️ In this Front Porch Video clip, we explore the intricacies of managing and enhancing content reach alongside industry pioneers Jean-Denis Mariani, the former CDO of Coty, and Kristi Vannatter, Firework’s Head of Beauty. This dialogue, hosted by the vibrant duo from Omni Talk Retail, Anne Mezzenga and Chris Walton, addresses one of the most pressing questions facing contemporary retailers: 💡 How can brands effectively embrace UGC while maintaining control over their content narrative? Here’s a sneak peek at some key insights: 🔹 Kristi’s Perspective: Numerous brands are scared of UGC (user-generated content)—they believe they lose control. However, neglecting UGC results in the loss of potential customers who genuinely appreciate your product and generate the most relatable content available. Generation Z, for instance, engages with 20 to 25 videos in a single sitting on social media; if they encounter your brand's video, the algorithm sends them your competitors' ads. People desire authenticity: they wish to see individuals who resemble themselves, not an unrelatable advertisement. 🔹 Jean-Denis’s Take: There is a certain level of risk associated with UGC: it may not always align with conventional quality benchmarks. However, Generation Z dedicates a significant amount of time to social media platforms, actively engaging in discussions about brands with one another. If your brand fails to connect with them directly, you are missing an essential dialogue. This is why establishing a centralized point for inspiration—with shoppable videos and live streams on the brand's website—proves effective. It enables a brand to maintain control over the experience while nurturing authentic engagement. Don’t miss Firework’s Big Ideas Session at NRF, where we will delve deeper into how video commerce is transforming customer engagement with Kristi and Jean-Denis as well as William Cladek Firework's SVP Revenue and Arianne Parisi, Chief Digital Officer, JD Group 📅 Monday, January 13 ⏰ 4:00 PM - 4:30 PM 📍 Expo, Level 1, Expo Stage 2 Book time to connect with our team at NRF: https://lnkd.in/gw3DmdTF See you there! 👋 #NRF2025 #UGC #VideoCommerce #ShoppableVideo #RetailInnovation #GenZMarketing #Firework
