Forget about the corporate buzzwords, Let’s Circle Back to the things we actually care about. Like, why did we wake up one day to everyone having a Labubu or Smiski? Why was the Duolingo owl beefing with Drake, then found dead (then alive)? How can you begin to explain “when the chile is tea but finna is gag” to your friend who’s clearly not chronically online? The podcast where Gen Z marketers spill more than just tea. Irregular updates because we have commitment issues.

    The Brands That Get It, Get It
