Pink is for girls and blue is for boys. Or is it? Manuela Saragosa explores the impact a more gender fluid world is having on business.

Jamie Gutfreund, head of marketing at Wunderman, tells us why Generation Z are moving away from a binary view of gender and how big brands are adapting accordingly.
