CULTURAL SHIFTS ARE ALWAYS IN THE FORECAST When thinking about culture today, we, at Fullscreen, obsess over uncovering what’s happening in the liminal space.

This team explores trends living at the intersection of culture, entertainment, and brand intelligence to give brands an understanding of what’s new and next. Our proprietary tools help us uncover what’s happening right before it’s mainstreamed. To bring our cultural forecasting capability to life, we launched the […]

Another historical event that year brought a crowd of more than 400,000 to upstate New York from August 15-18 for a weekend filled with 34 […]

Cusper Cohorts — Exploring The Fringe of Gen Z and Millennials As leaders in social entertainment and digital content, we wanted to better understand the youthful consumers our talent and brand partners were engaging.

PARENTING CAN’T BE AUTOMATED, BUT IT CAN BE CURATED Millennials not only accept but expect tech automation to help them in nearly every aspect of their lives – from Spotify’s ‘made for you’ playlists, to Alexa’s automated grocery list. However, reliance on an algorithm only goes so far. When it comes to how they parent, Millennials aren’t ready to let technology replace the very human nature of the job.

They are between embracing tech to help their children […]

Does This Content Bring You Joy? The new consumer journey is a cluttered mess – full of competing brands, messages, and emotions. Gen-Z and Millenials are purchasing from brands that have never had a physical presence (e.g., Warby Parker, Casper, Allbirds) and directly through social platforms. These brands and platforms have created cleaner customer experiences along the purchase funnel to combat a messy media environment. This growing trend of “quick and easy” commerce might feel like there are shortcuts through the purchase funnel, but it actually puts more pressure on the types of content that brands are creating. Content needs to have a meaningful impact at […]
