Beyond Tradition: Evolving Operations & Content to Capture Gen Z
A new white paper, produced in partnership with CarbonPal, explores how brands must embrace operational agility, content innovation, and true sustainability to stay relevant.
The global luxury industry is slowing down but Gen Z is not.
Luxury’s youngest consumers are rewriting the rules of what luxury actually means. They are prioritizing authenticity over aspiration, experiences over exclusivity, and sustainability over status. In a shifting, uncertain market, traditional luxury strategies are no longer enough, which means brands must evolve to keep up.
To explore these themes, we are proud to release our latest white paper, created in collaboration with CarbonPal:

Why This Paper Now?
2024 marked the first broad slowdown in luxury sales in two decades (excluding crisis years), and early signs suggest the trend is far from over. Many legacy brands remain operationally siloed, content-saturated, and digitally sluggish, which is a problem when Gen Z expects seamless personalization, smart storytelling, and genuine values on every touchpoint and in every customer interaction.
This white paper explores the three intersecting forces luxury brands must address now:
Content that connects:
Modern consumers hunger for unique voices and scroll past sameness. In this paper, we explore why emotionally intelligent, culturally relevant brand storytelling must replace volume-driven content marketing.Operational transformation:
Disconnected systems and internal inefficiencies are no longer tolerable for luxury brands. Agility is king; and AI-driven data use is no longer optional.Sustainability as strategy:
Gen Z does not believe in surface-level greenwashing. Brands need supply chain optimization and purpose-led strategic decision-making that delivers real impact.
Who This Is For
If you are a luxury strategist, marketer, operations lead, or C-suite leader, this paper is a tool to help you:
Understand what Gen Z actually wants from luxury
Reframe content strategy as a business enabler—not just a communications function
Rethink operations, data, and AI as growth drivers
Future-proof your brand while holding onto what makes it timeless
