After graduating from the historically Black university (HBCU), Morehouse, DeAndre Brown looked forward to entering the workplace and soon landed internships in both government and corporate settings.
As the youngest employee, he quickly identified the antiquated norms in the workplace (see: bragging wars over long hours) and, as any good Gen Z-er, used the experience as inspiration for TikTok content as a creative outlet to deal with this new chapter.
And that’s how a Corporate Baddie was born.
On the latest episode of Yeah, That’s Probably An Ad, community editor Luz Corona sat down with the Gen Z content creator at ADWEEK’s Social Media Week for an intimate conversation surrounding Brown’s journey to his Corporate Baddie persona on TikTok.They discuss generational comment wars, the toll virality on social media can take on mental health, and the pros and cons of working for yourself.

Over the past year, the ad industry has witnessed a deprioritizing of DEI initiatives through a series of events: CMOs are back to focusing on hard hitting business goals, brands are hesitant to use LGBTQ+ marketing and the data shows women makeup 37% of industry employees, still down from 50% before the pandemic.
However, there’s another way to create a more inclusive world and it involves the creatives.
Enter: Design justice, a practice which rethinks design processes and focuses on people who are often marginalized by them. This approach calls for collaborative and creative practices to approach the deeper challenges these communities face.
On the latest episode of Yeah, That’s Probably An Ad, community editor Luz Corona and Europe brand editor Rebecca Stewart sit down with Karen Baker from Boathouse, giving us the 101 on design justice, examples of the concept in action, and why marketers should feel inspired by Lego and Netflix.

It's been an interesting few months for Bud Light, which found itself embroiled in anti-LGBTQ+ criticism and calls for a boycott after it partnered with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney to promote its brew in March.
Since then, the Anheuser-Busch (AB InBev) business has endured criticism from both the right and left; offering a lesson for brands in what happens when you try to market to all but alienate everyone.
For an episode unpicking the timeline of events and asking whether Bud Light can ever take the crown of America's favorite beer again, Adweek's community editor Luz Corona and Europe brand editor Rebecca Stewart are joined by senior reporter Paul Hiebert and AgencySpy editor Kyle O'Brien.
Note: This episode was recorded prior to AB InBev US CEO Brendan Whitworth speaking with CBS about the controversy and before Bud Light brought back the "Bud Knight".
