You've heard it said that Gen Z are disloyal. They switch brands constantly, they don't commit, they jump around. But what if that's the wrong lens entirely?

Hi, I'm Clare Bailey, founder of Retail Champion.

This is Part 2 of my three-part miniseries, "The Loyalty Illusion" — and in this episode I dig deep into what's really driving Gen Z behaviour.

Spoiler: it's not disloyalty.

Coming next week...

Episode 3 will answer the big question: what actually builds real, lasting connection with this generation?
