“Covid threw us in more ways than one. And while we couldn't predict it, it did bring into sharp focus the fact that we need to be prepared for the future. To keep our clients relevant, but to keep us relevant to clients too. We came to Jill looking for skills in trend forecasting. What we came away with was a totally new future's mindset that we've applied to our client work, our own business and frankly, our personal lives too!” <br>

Keynote by Jill Hawkins: Generation Z’s DNA: who are they and how are they going to change things?

Panicking/confused about what/who is “Gen Z” (teens to early twenties!) and why they matter? In this keynote, Jill will ensure you fall in love with them, as she defines their quirky ‘DNA’, how they make choices, what’s important to them, and how you can cater to them. In a post-demographic world where identity is fragmented and putting audiences/consumers/people in target ‘boxes’ feels impossible, generational attitudes are a useful (but not foolproof) guideline for businesses. Jill has worked with youth audiences throughout her research career, and here shares some of her most valuable insights with you.

Audience takeaway:

Get the best insights from Jill’s experience working with youth audiences to understand what makes this group different and how to successfully work, engage and communicate with Gen Z.

Keynote by Jill Hawkins: The future of retail

How are we shopping and to what extent is it about functionality vs. entertainment? Do we still need physical stores? What about e-commerce, omnichannel, and immersive experiences? Does it need to be sustainable, or second-hand? Slow and local or next-day only, please? And does all this differ by generation?

Audience takeaway:

We will unpick the mixed messages, so you leave with some clear-cut answers about where the world of retail is heading, and plenty of inspiration to apply to your business.

Customer Reviews

Emily Ames, Emily Ames Co-founder & Strategy Director Sonder & Tell

Jill always offers a deep and different perspective on the cultural shifts expected to take place within the coming 5-10 years and how they will affect consumer behaviour and product offerings. Also, she has a fantastic ability to detect and unfold current product, consumer and media trends that perform as strong or weak signals of bigger cultural shifts taking place."<br>

Anne Flemmert Jensen, Ph.D. Senior Director The LEGO Group

“Jill has a unique background and mindset and provides an invaluable perspective on trends, societal shifts and lifestyle. Her perspective is relevant for those interested in both short and long term future and her view of the world and trends is applicable to everything from concepts and stories to commercial products and services.”

Louise Byg Kongsholm CEO Pej Gruppen

“I asked Jill to give a talk to our board members in order to provide as full, realistic, lifestyle “view” into the future as possible, so that all around the table could make qualified future decisions. I’ve worked with Jill since as I like her personality and her observations, thoughts and perspective on the way we are living and transforming. It inspires me to think in new, creative ways without ever losing focus on how we as a brand can keep growing and make a difference.”

Christian Trads CEO H2O Sportswear

“Jill gave a presentation at our annual kick-off event, to our sales and marketing staff as well as all our European agents. Jill spoke about ”Stuffocation and the new Scandinavian“, with lots of facts, future trends and interesting questions to think about. The presentation inspired us all to think and plan differently in order to meet the future customer demands. Jill’s experience, knowledge and passion about the subject shined through and gave the audience lots of inspiration. After the presentation we got lots of positive feedback, so thanks.”<br>
