The Art of the Brand

This week's episode is about what happens when outrage travels faster than context.We recorded this one live in Toronto, and it started with an ad. Good Good, one of golf's biggest YouTube channels, created a 60-second campaign with Callaway about a golfer becoming dangerously obsessed with his driver. A few seconds were clipped, reframed as domestic violence, and suddenly the internet was furious. Callaway pulled the campaign, apologized, pledged $1 million to women's golf, and left the smaller creator brand holding the bag.But when you watch the full ad, the story looks very different.That became the jumping-off point for a bigger conversation about whether brands have become too afraid of criticism to stand behind their own decisions, and what happens to creativity when every campaign is designed around avoiding the worst possible interpretation.On the episode:● Why the Good Good x Callaway ad became an internet scandal, and how clipping has created an entire economy around manufacturing outrage.● Why Callaway's biggest mistake may not have been approving the ad, but panicking when people criticized it.● Why Target's controversial Halloween costume deserved a different response. and the difference between acknowledging a genuine mistake and corporate pandering.● Whether Sézane's founder should be allowed to completely reinvent the brand after 20 years, or whether consistency becomes more important as a brand reaches iconic status.● Why Meta paid $16.8 billion over allegations surrounding addictive design and children, and why making your product addictive isn't necessarily the problem.● Whether Apple can still claim to "Think Different" when its first foldable phone arrives eight generations after Samsung.● The three questions every founder should ask before giving a celebrity or creator equity: can they improve the product, drive actual sales, or add genuine credibility?● Why the most dangerous thing a brand can do in a crisis may be allowing internet outrage to make its decisions for it.Because the internet rewards the fastest reaction. Great brands still need the judgment to know when not to react.Hire My AgencySerious brand? Serious goals? Work with my team at Third Eye Insights.

This week's episode is about what happens when technology makes it easier than ever to look like you've built something without actually doing the work. We recorded this one from Manila, where a conversation about AI influencers, ChatGPT, Reddit and celebrity brands kept coming back to the same question: in a world obsessed with shortcuts, what actually makes a brand real?We break down why Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand struggled to translate celebrity into credibility, how ChatGPT suddenly changed its relationship with Reddit, and why brands trying to game AI search may be solving the wrong problem entirely. We also look at Google's new AI agents calling businesses on your behalf, the rise of virtual influencers with millions of followers, and why the more automated the internet becomes, the more valuable genuinely human creativity may become.On the episode:● Why Meghan Markle's move back toward the Royal Family exposes a bigger lesson about celebrity brands, authenticity and trying to manufacture credibility.● Why ChatGPT's Reddit citations suddenly dropped, and what brands investing in Reddit and AI search need to understand.● How an $11 fake deodorant brand outranked real companies in AI search without fake reviews, Reddit manipulation or an existing audience.● Why Google's AI can now call businesses on your behalf, compare their answers and recommend where you should spend your money.● Why Justin Bieber wants to build a phone, and whether there's actually room for someone to challenge Apple.● How AI influencers are attracting millions of followers and brand deals despite the people behind them not being real.● Why virtual influencers could become incredibly valuable to retailers, and what that means for the creator economy.● What J.K. Rowling and great advertising copy teach us about the one thing AI still struggles to manufacture: original thought.● Why the smartest way to use AI isn't to outsource your thinking, but to accelerate the work after you've done the thinking yourself.Hire My AgencySerious brand?

This week's episode is about what happens when the internet starts having more bots than humans. AI can now search, shop, write, clip content and increasingly make decisions for us, but the more efficient everything becomes, the more valuable distinctly human qualities like taste, imperfection, judgment and real connection become.We recorded this one from Austin after two weeks on the road, and it turned into a bigger conversation about where branding is heading in an AI-first world. From executives outsourcing their thinking to Disney handing its content vault to TikTok creators, Jimothy the raccoon becoming an unlikely internet phenomenon, and Cracker Barrel learning the cost of forgetting what customers actually loved, the same lesson kept showing up: technology can scale almost anything, but it can't manufacture genuine human connection.On the episode:•Why "AI wishing" could be one of the biggest mistakes executives make as they adopt AI.•What it means now that bots are reportedly generating more internet traffic than humans.•Why search is moving from keywords to context—and what brands need to change for AI discovery.•Why Disney and HBO are betting on clipping their existing content instead of simply creating more.•What Jimothy the raccoon teaches brands about imperfection, weirdness and why people actually care.•Why Cracker Barrel's failed rebrand is a warning about changing what your customers already love.•How Bethenny Frankel is using world-building to turn an audience into something much bigger.•Why being present, putting down your phone and thinking for yourself may become the ultimate advantage in an AI-first world.Hire My AgencySerious brand?

Every brand wants attention.The best brands know what to do with it once they have it.In this episode, we break down the biggest branding stories of the week to uncover what separates companies that create lasting momentum from those that waste it. From Zara's viral "death pants" and Bayes' brilliant product relaunch to Charlotte Tilbury's battle against dupes, Louis Vuitton's lawsuit in China, Kim Kardashian's latest campaign, and the creator economy reshaping business, every story points to the same lesson: great brands don't panic, they know how to own the moment.We explore why controversy can become an advantage, why authenticity is replacing manufactured marketing, how companies should respond to criticism, and what founders can learn about building brands people genuinely want to talk about.Because in today's economy, attention is easy to buy.Trust, culture, and relevance are not.If you're building a business, creating content, or trying to understand why some brands dominate the conversation while others quietly disappear, this episode is packed with practical lessons on modern branding, marketing, and founder-led growth.🏢 Hire My AgencySerious brand?

Most brands think they need more money to grow.Hot Girl Pickles proved they needed a better story.In this episode, we sit down with the founders behind one of the fastest-growing emerging CPG brands to unpack how they turned a simple product into a cultural brand by documenting the journey instead of hiding it.We talk about why building in public creates stronger communities than traditional marketing, how showing the messy parts of entrepreneurship became their greatest competitive advantage, and why consistency, not production quality, is what actually builds an audience online.The conversation also explores what happens after something goes viral. We discuss scaling from direct-to-consumer into retail, turning customers into collaborators, creating a brand people want to identify with, and why culture, not follower count, is becoming the real measure of influence.Whether you're building a product, a personal brand, or a business from scratch, this episode is a masterclass in modern brand building and why the companies winning today are the ones willing to let people in before they've figured everything out. 🏢 Hire My AgencySerious brand?

What actually happens when the biggest marketers, creators, founders and tech companies in the world all gather in one place?In this first episode of Coffee in Cannes, we're taking you behind the scenes of Cannes Lions—not to recap the biggest parties, but to unpack the conversations that actually matter.We discuss why experience has become the new marketing currency, what brands are getting wrong about TikTok Shop, why Reddit is becoming one of the most underrated platforms for consumer trust, and how AI is forcing luxury brands to rethink the value they provide.Along the way, we also explore the changing relationship between taste and technology, why software companies are reshaping the marketing industry, and what we're already seeing on the ground that could define the next decade of branding.This isn't a recap of Cannes. It's what Cannes is teaching us.

Everyone is fighting for attention online. But what happens when the scroll stops working?In this episode, we talk about why digital-only brands are starting to feel flat, and why real-world moments, billboards, events, activations, and collabs can make a brand feel more legitimate almost instantly.We also discuss AI-written marketing, the return of in-person experiences, beauty events, the Met Gala, Vegas nightlife, phone-free spaces, and why audiences are craving brands that feel more human, intentional, and worth talking about.🏢 Hire My AgencySerious brand?

Most brands don’t fail because of the consumer. They fail because they lose their identity.In this episode, we break down some of the biggest brand decisions happening right now, from Lululemon’s controversial CEO appointment to Nike’s ongoing identity crisis, and what they reveal about leadership at the highest level.We unpack why great brands fall apart, how companies lose sight of what made them successful, and the difference between building for performance versus signaling for perception. This turns into a broader conversation about leadership, decision-making, and why critical thinking often disappears inside large organizations.We also explore the role of proximity in success, why environment matters more than most people realize, and how founders can think more clearly about growth in a world that’s constantly pulling them in the wrong direction.This is a conversation about brand, leadership, and what it actually takes to build something that lasts.

Coachella used to be about music. Now it’s about brands.In this episode, we unpack what happens when culture gets commercialized. From influencer-heavy crowds to brand activations that feel more like content factories than real experiences, Coachella has become a case study in how attention has overtaken entertainment.We get into why brands are pouring money into events like this, how influencer-led companies are starting to outperform traditional ones, and why smaller brands often make the mistake of chasing the same playbook without understanding the tradeoffs.This episode turns into a bigger conversation about world-building—what it actually means, why it works, and how brands like Rhode and 818 are doing it well. At the same time, we challenge the idea that fast growth equals great brands, and talk about what it really takes to build something that lasts.We also break down Justin Bieber’s Coachella performance as a reflection of personal brand drift, and look at what happens when legacy brands like Vogue try to stay relevant in a completely different cultural landscape.This episode is really about one thing: what happens when everything becomes content—and what brands need to do differently because of it.🏢 Hire My Agency.
