people + planet + brands
Shaped by Youth Culture.
Powered by Social Change.
We are a social enterprise focused on Consulting, Publishing, Media and Production aimed at Generation Z. We are Gen Z - from our Founder to our editors, journalists, researchers, client consultants, graphic designers, animators, videographers, and of course, our readers.
We allow clients to access a Gen Z approach to research and futurecasting insights using first-hand data, co-creation strategies and game-changing content production.
If you are looking for a Gen Z consulting agency to help grow your brand and expand your business by truly understanding the beliefs, behaviours and transformational forces motivating Gen Z consumers; then look no further than the 'how we are different' section below or check out our Consulting page.

‘We have a very strong, trusted working relationship with Thred Media because they’re fast, highly creative and a constant source of new ideas for all things youth culture, social change and Gen Z trends.’
Reid Litman, Ogilvy
Global Consulting Director
Consulting
We provide brands, agencies, organisations, non-profits and governments with behavioural insights that lead to a deeper understanding of Gen Z beliefs, behaviours and consumer trends. We combine our expertise with our far-reaching network of Gen Z experts, influencers, activists, and entrepreneurs, enabling us to deliver the most targeted approach to gaining share-of-mind of this game-changing generation.
Publishing
The central tenet is the 100% social change-focused website thred.com. In addition to our editors and in-house writers, we have built out a global eco-system of young journalists, activists and entrepreneurs that focus on news and social justice with a refreshingly authentic and transparent 'on the scene' reporting style. Empowering these young activists and writers by giving them a platform to voice Gen Z movements is at the centre of our company.
Community
Our goal is to inform, inspire and impact the most amount of like-minded people to take action locally to affect global change at scale. Therefore, our community is at the heart of everything we do, from our website readers to our social media community, to our Change Maker Network of interns, ambassadors, remote writers and discord moderators.

'Thred Media’s social change-focused content and its work highlighting the activism of Gen Z, gives me hope for the future. They’re exactly the kind of media platform the world needs right now.'

Stylus x Thred Media- The New News Media
The news media needs a rethink: misinformation has deeply damaged trust, the polycrisis is turning people away from the bleakness of traditional coverage, and news consumption habits are being transformed by social media. A crop of disruptors is seeking to deliver more trust, clarity and personal control by employing artificial-intelligence- (AI) -based personalisation, non-partisan formats, Gen-Z-geared coverage and informal journalism.
