Gen Z-Style OC Bus Video Goes Viral

To generate interest and awareness of its OC Bus service, OCTA created a video featuring Gen Z slang. The video reflects a popular social media trend in which a spokesperson uses Gen Z slang to highlight a product or destination. Gen Z is the generation of people born between 1997 and 2012.

Shot at OCTA’s Santa Ana bus base, the 90-second video features Director of Operations​ Damon Blythe with a cameo appearance by coach operator Jaime Caicedo.

With more than 200,000 total organic views to date, this is one of OCTA’s highest-performing videos. On Instagram, where the video was most widely viewed, more than 90 percent of viewers were new to OCTA social media accounts, indicating interest among new audiences.
