The Gen-Z Blueprint: Focus on Trend Culture 2025

We’ve partnered with AmbassCo to examine the speed, structure, and staying power of trend culture in 2025, leveraging their Social Glass AI.

Our latest report, Trend Culture 2025: The Gen-Z Blueprint, interviews more than 100 members of Gen-Z and breaks down how trends move across platforms, trust is built (or lost), and why “style” and “meaning” are overtaking traditional trend metrics. We explore: 

→The rise of “dupes” and the decline of originality

→ How trust is built in the comments, not campaigns

→ Creators as co-creators, not just casting

The research methodology combines survey data, cultural pattern recognition, and creator-led insights to surface what’s shaping Gen-Z behavior, vs. what’s just noise.

This report is for brands, marketers, and strategists navigating what comes next, not just what’s trending.
