I'm a gen Xer. When I was in the bloom of youth, being gen X was as cool as it got. But now, of course, it's been a long time since my generation has been surpassed in the coolness department ... first by Millenials, which I guess are gen Y ... and now by Gen Z!

Members of the Z generation are many things, for better and for worse. One thing they definitely are is very much online, and online they are masters are the meme -- those repurposed images and video clips with witty captions that spread across the internet like a Canadian wildfire.

Before long, and in some ways already, Gen Zers are going to enter the workforce in droves and occupy positions with buying power. And so it behooves content marketers to have a strategy for using memes in their marketing strategies.

That's what's inspired my guests today. Jacob Nomafo and Jonah Blackburn are co-founders of LucidMeme, a company that helps brands build relationships between businesses and Gen Z through humor, using memes to capture attention and build brand awareness.

Jacob and Jonah talk about why they were inspired to create Lucid Meme and how b2b marketers can use memes to engage a Gen Z audience.
