Who is GEN Z?

We are born
after 1996.

Our average attention span
is 8 seconds.

We are 32%
of the global population.

We control $143 billion in spending power.

We describe our generation as innovative above all else.

Want to Reach Gen Z?

We are what Refinery29 calls “the largest and most popular Gen Z agency.” We think of ourselves as phygital-first community-builders, translators, and problem-solvers that work with clients to help them best connect with diverse young audiences. We are a team of Gen Zers that fiercely believes if you want to be talking about us – you should instead perhaps be talking to us, building with us.

Our Story

JUV is the brainchild of three teenagers who found themselves in rooms with politicians, leaders, and “youth experts” who were constantly talking about how to capture the attention of Gen Z. There was just one problem: nobody was talking to young people — just at them.

Established in 2016, JUV has emerged as a formidable force for anyone trying to future-proof – tha has now worked with over 300 clients (including 30+ Fortune 500 companies), established full-time offices in NYC and LA, and been recognized as one of the top start-up employers in the country by Forbes. 

We do everything here from market research to brand strategy to purpose-driven TikTok campaigns to curating communities of creators. We’ve been told we actually are doing what everyone else says they are; doing things differently. We are a collective of sixteen-year-old trend experts as well as Millennial agency veterans that are known for our candor, for our creativity, for our conferences where CMOs hula hoop on table tops. 

We’re also known for having a lot of besties – and we’d love to be known for being yours, too.

Our Services

From initial sparks to the main event, our team is here to help your big ideas take flight—and ensure that your intended audience is all aboard.
