25: Creative Campaigns: Diversifying Your Social Media Presence
Episode 25
Today on the show, April and Hamish offer an analysis of one viral ad from Super Bowl LIV, with an in-depth look at Workday’s creative take on corporate overuse of the “rock star” moniker. Together, they discuss the strategic components that made the ad a success. For this week’s industry news update, our hosts cover a rise in international scrutiny of TikTok’s data security; the discussion arises in light of the recent media dominance of the Chinese balloon which was neutralized by U.S. military forces earlier this month. Tune in as they assess the risks and rewards associated with leveraging social media juggernauts like TikTok and Twitter in your brand strategy.
