We're talking trend fatigue! 💤 Trend-hopping gets clicks, but at what cost to authenticity? Final takeaway: use trends with purpose.

Niantic Spatial’s @tomglover.bsky.social put it best when he said “It’s better to lean into strategic story-telling than just the meme.” ✨

Key takeaway from Georgie's talk? The rule book is gone 🔥

1. 2025 proved audiences now own the narrative - rewriting brand stories in real time
2. Heading into 2026, control is out. Collaboration is in.
3. Authenticity, agility, and participation will define who wins the crowd

How are Gen Alpha trends shifting? This is what we found:

💬 Messaging, AI, and social media apps aren't separate, they're intertwined
🚫They know stricter age limits are coming, but the response? "We’ll use it anyway"
🛡️Many believe the world would be safer without social media entirely
