Sekonda's 10-Second Dramas Leave Gen Z Hanging
Watch brand Sekonda launched a new youth-focused campaign called 'Any. Second. Now.' created by VCCP Blue and VCCP Media, marking their first work since winning the account. The campaign consists of six short films that capture moments of anticipation, ending right before a climactic event, to reposition Sekonda as a desirable yet affordable fashion brand for Gen Z. Three films introduce Sekonda's new smart ring, which uses a three-word language system to communicate features like cycle tracking, heart rate, and sleep monitoring. The media plan extends the countdown concept across high-impact digital out-of-home, streaming platforms like Prime Video and Netflix, and social channels including TikTok and Instagram. The campaign runs until January 2027.
Primark Launches First Global Brand Campaign
Primark launched its first coordinated global brand campaign, “The Get Away,” across the U.S., U.K. and Spain to boost awareness and attract new customers. The summer spot, created by agency VCCP and directed by Tom Green through Stink Films, uses heist-movie tropes to position affordable fashion as a stylish find. The rollout follows the high‑profile opening of a Herald Square flagship in Manhattan, which Primark promoted with local activations and an appearance by Sarah Jessica Parker. Company leaders say the effort is the retailer’s first major global media investment and aims to close a recognition gap in the U.S., where Primark has operated since 2015 and runs about 40 stores. The chain emphasises in-store experience (it has no home delivery) and is targeting savvy shoppers aged roughly 25–40.
Gen Z Attention Myth: Five Keys to Engage Them
This Adweek piece argues that Gen Z does not have an inherently short attention span but is selective about what deserves their time. Drawing on the author’s year building Sunnie, Hello Sunshine’s Gen Z-focused media and lifestyle brand, the article recommends a community-first strategy, depth over broad reach, slow-down experiences, surprise discovery, and co-creation with Gen Z. It cites a Sunnie/Westfield Rise study showing 90% of Gen Z girls value brands that create real-world connection and 73% view malls as primary social gathering places. The author describes Sunnie initiatives such as Sunniefest, Sunnie Reads, and a Sunnie Advisory Board and reports that 87% of respondents want a role in the creative process with brands.
