Snapchat reaches around 90% of Australians aged 16–24, but its audience extends well beyond Gen Z

Snapchat's Head of Agency & Large Customer Sales, Clare Rudduck, breaks down why traditional social media feeds are suffering from an "AI slop" problem and why 8 million Australians are actively choosing Snapchat instead.

Discover how brands are using hyperlocal map monetisation, AR gamification, and raw UGC to capture undivided consumer attention. From driving a 30% footfall lift for retail giants to building future demand with authentic employee advocates, this conversation reveals how to win with Gen Z without relying on polished, over-produced campaigns.
