  • Purple Comb-Overs: The Power of Personal Style
    Feb 1 2025

    This week, we talk about some of the most interesting people throughout history – and the fact they all had a consistent personal style.

    Consistency is the key to branding, and these famous people all understood that.

    We’ll take a look at Julius Caesar, who shocked fellow Romans with the way he dressed and acted.

    We’ll examine the incredible popularity of Charlie Chaplin’s “Little Tramp” character that never changed throughout 25 films.

    And we’ll talk about celebrities who adopted a singular colour as their personal branding – like Prince and Johnny Cash.

  • The Iceman Cometh: How Ice Transformed Our Lives
    Jan 25 2025

    This week, we look at the marketing of ICE.


    It may sound like a strange topic, but our obsession with ice - as a product - is only 200 years old.


    The history of ice marketing starts with an amazing story about a bold entrepreneur with a vision, the cutthroat clash between competing ice companies, and the long list of ice brands and products that has transformed our lives.


    It's a remarkable story.

  • Last Chance Tourism
    Jan 18 2025

    This week, we take a look at Last Chance Tourism.


    Tourism companies around the world have started to advertise specific destinations to travelers, because those locations have a very unique offering.


    Namely, they are vanishing.


    From glaciers, to polar bears, to the Amazon Rainforest. Marketers are using a strategy called “Loss Aversion” – where the emotional impact of a loss is felt more intensely than a gain.


    So people are rushing to these locations, afraid they might miss their last chance to see them.

Beatles!

I loved this podcast so much and then it became Beatles, Beatles, Beatles. I hope it changes back someday but in the meantime, there’s a gap in my world.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
