Episode 17: The Prussian Potato Problem Why'd I Buy That? An Advertising and Marketing Podcast

Have you ever seen an ad and thought to yourself, “I would buy this product if only everything about the advertising were totally different?” Then you, Sir or Madam, are the target audience for a rebrand. In this episode, Abe and Ryan discuss rebranding, including both super successes and failtastic failures. They’ll chug a new soda flavor, smell like a towel-clad man, and visit Germany multiple times. Notable quotes: “They’ve got a whole lot of sag.” “They would artificially add an en-blackening agent to the exhaust.” “Let’s cool it with the celebrity burnings.” “Most of today’s marketing ills could be solved with armed guards.”
