Real Talk Debate - Johannesburg : Is the Industry Ready for Africa’s Gen Z Audience?

Join us in Johannesburg for an unmissable debate hosted by Women in Marketing (WiM) Africa - where South Africa’s brightest marketing, advertising, and communications minds come together to tackle one of the most urgent questions shaping the industry today: Is the industry truly ready to engage Africa’s Gen Z audience?

Where

Kantar Johannesburg The Base, 3012A Winnie Mandela Drive, Johannesburg, Bryanston, 2191 South Africa

When

16th September 2025
TBC

With over 60% of Africa’s population under 25 (UN, 2019), and digital access growing rapidly across the continent, Gen Z is not just the future—they are the now. They’re digitally native, socially conscious, and expect bold, authentic, and inclusive brand experiences. This live, thought-provoking debate will explore whether today’s brands and agencies are equipped to meet their expectations—or if we’re still missing the mark.

This high-profile debate will explore both sides of the argument:
Are brands innovating fast enough to meet Gen Z where they are?
Or
are outdated strategies and deep-rooted industry challenges holding us back?

Expect sharp insights, opposing views, and audience interaction in an exciting format designed to challenge conventional thinking and spark new ideas.

 

Who Should Attend:
This event is designed for senior and C-suite professionals in marketing, advertising, media, and communications across Africa. Whether you’re client-side, agency-based, or part of the broader creative economy, this is your opportunity to engage with industry peers, challenge perspectives, and shape how we engage the continent’s most powerful generation of consumers.

WiM Africa welcomes all professionals who champion bold thinking, but this event especially speaks to women leaders and changemakers who are redefining marketing in South Africa and across the continent.

 

Why Attend:

  • Gain fresh, practical insights into engaging Gen Z in meaningful, culturally relevant ways.
  • Learn how top brands and creatives are navigating digital disruption and influencer-led storytelling.
  • Hear compelling arguments for and against the industry’s readiness—then decide where you stand.
  • Network with a high-calibre audience of senior professionals from South Africa and beyond.
  • Be part of an influential community driving forward inclusion, creativity, and innovation.
  • Opening Statements: Speakers argue for and against the motion: Is the industry ready for Africa’s Gen Z audience?
  • Moderated Discussion: The moderator will dive deeper into each side’s arguments, challenge assumptions, and provoke new thinking.
  • Live Audience Interaction: Participate in real-time polls and engage directly in a lively Q&A session.
  • Networking & Connection: Before and after the debate, enjoy time to meet and mingle with fellow industry leaders over drinks and canapés.

Is the Industry Ready for Africa’s Gen Z Audience?

Key Themes

  • Digital Transformation & Connectivity: How mobile-first behaviours and social media platforms are redefining engagement.
  • Inclusivity and Authentic Representation: The demand for gender-balanced and diverse campaigns that speak to the heart of Gen Z.
  • Purpose-Driven Messaging: Aligning brand values with social, environmental, and cultural priorities critical to this audience.
  • Infrastructure and Access: Addressing the challenges that come with reaching Gen Z beyond major urban areas.
  • Campaign Authenticity vs. Outdated Tactics: The necessity for genuine storytelling to avoid superficial engagement.
