That's why brands are changing not only their presentation. The strategies themselves are changing. Don't explain - engage. Not to sell - to start a game. Why does Gen Z lose interest in 2 seconds? In times when there is more information and opportunities than the psyche can digest, users simply break down under their pressure. But "inattentive" is not about buzzers. Gen Z are not the ones who get lost, but the ones who filter. They grew up in an endless scrolling mode, where they turned from passive consumers to active participants. Therefore, everything that doesn't catch you from the first frame automatically goes away - at best, to that dead...

Glass offices, HR departments, corporate parties, tournament tables with "Rolex for record" bonuses... In the call centers of the investment "Scam Empire" everything resembled a legitimate international company.

Padel is not just another sport. It's a mix of tennis and squash, which is increasingly appearing in calendars instead of regular meetings. It appeared back in 1969 in Mexico, and became especially popular in Europe. Today, there are more than 30 million players in 90+ countries. Spain, Sweden, and Argentina are among the top countries.

According to the latest estimates, there are about 50,000 players in the country. And yes, this is just the beginning. Padel is especially easy to enter the digital environment. Flexible schedule, networking instead of small talk, and sports as an antidote to burnout. The affiliate community quickly made padel its own. And not only in Kyiv - they play in Lviv,...
