Tech-savvy Generation Z’s and Millennials’ use social media to communicate and spread the word about what excites them, what they enjoy and brands they love. If a brand wants to get noticed, providing an “eye-worthy” TWIST is key to making it into Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Restaurants have learned this as gastronomy is becoming a favorite way for GenZ’s and Millenial’s to spend their money. Some restaurants have redesigned interiors and services to be more “Instagram-friendly”. Some offer discounts in return for social media reviews or limited-time specials, like this eye-catching TWIST: The Peninsula Bangkok hotel TWISTED with Tiffany’s to create a Tiffany Afternoon Tea that includes handcrafted, jeweled, sweet delicacies inspired by the Tiffany brand’s jewelry and iconic blue box.
Says Wanda Pogue, chief strategy officer at Saatchi & Saatchi New York, in Luxury Daily, “… From a ‘grammed brunch with friends to a Cronut that they waited an hour in line for, they get a great story to share and an emotional payoff that is as big, if not bigger than what traditional luxury goods provide — but without the big financial investment.”
