🥦 Insight
•
If evening is 'rest', then morning is 'dopamine'.
Traditionally, evenings after work were a time for socializing and entertainment. However, Generation Z is demonstrating a counter-intuitive approach, reserving the evening for complete rest (Me Time) and instead utilizing the morning to release energy and meet friends (We Time).

The emergence of 'Joyful Morning' that abandoned the obsession with a perfect life
Until now, morning gatherings were focused on productivity, such as English study groups or book discussions. Now, however, 'purposeless enjoyment' itself—such as simply eating delicious food, dancing, or sharing hobbies—is becoming the driving force for starting the morning.
•
Does the marketing event really have to be held in the evening?
The formula that 'events equal evenings' is breaking down. In fact, the morning hours can be a blue ocean with less marketing from competing brands. This is the perfect time for morning pop-ups or breakfast gatherings that deliver a short but impactful message before work to feel fresh and appealing.
🥄 A spoonful of execution

How about we twist the way our brand interacts with customers? If you replace evening networking parties or seminars with 'morning coffee chats,' you might elicit more engaged participation than you expected.

How to Target 'Morning Consumers' Who Make Plans and Party in the Morning

A culture of partying in the morning is rapidly emerging, spearheaded by "morning raves" that began gaining attention mid-last year. A morning rave is a type of club party where people dance in the morning rather than at night, drinking beverages instead of alcohol. It signifies a shift from a culture that was taken for granted for the night to one enjoyed in the morning.
Morning rave, which originated overseas, has recently been gaining popularity among Gen Z in Korea. In fact, search volume for morning rave has been on an upward trend since June of last year.
