• Lululemon’s Misstep: How a Media Twist Shaped (and Shook) an Iconic Brand
    Jan 21 2025

    In this eye-opening episode, we spotlight the Lululemon controversy surrounding founder Chip Wilson—and how a few taken-out-of-context remarks about “bigger women” spiraled into a full-blown media storm. Learn the true story behind Wilson’s original target audience (the “it-girl” yogis) and why Lululemon’s pivot to appease critics ended up alienating the very loyalists who built the brand. We also explore how going public shifted priorities from product quality to profit margins, leading to internal power struggles and misunderstood “offensive” soundbites.

    Beyond the Lululemon saga, we compare this story to that of Mr. Saturday (Joey Gollish), a rising creative director growing his fashion line “the right way”—a pace that prioritizes authenticity over aggressive boardroom demands. From misguided marketing strategies to media-driven narratives, we reveal the pitfalls that occur when a brand loses sight of its original DNA.

  • PR ≠ Marketing! Explained by PR expert
    Jan 13 2025

    “In this episode, Camille Moore sits down with PR expert Astrid M. Carillo to tackle the age-old debate: Is PR the same as Marketing? Astrid, a seasoned PR and etiquette professional, has worked across industries—from financial services and mining to charitable work for HRH The Prince of Wales (now His Majesty King Charles III) and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. With experience spanning royal tours, palace events, over $10B in M&A transactions, and collaborations with Fortune 500 executives and UHNW clients, Astrid’s global comms and media relations expertise includes top-tier publications such as The Globe and Mail, Bloomberg, CNN, CNBC, and The Financial Times.

    In this episode, we dive into why PR is not marketing. Marketing focuses on driving immediate sales and revenue, while PR works to build long-term trust, credibility, and reputation. We also discuss why using PR solely as a product-promotion tool can cheapen a brand. Tune in and find out how PR, communications, and marketing can (and should) align—without being mistaken for one another. Your reputation (and bottom line) may just depend on it.”
