Booking Overview

This is a weekly interview-focused show about advertising, marketing, technology, media, art, and the cultural forces shaping brands, featuring external voices from those fields. Agencies could credibly pitch brand strategists, creators, cultural analysts, media executives, arts and auction experts, authors, and technology or marketing leaders with a distinctive perspective; booking difficulty is medium because guests are established subject-matter experts but generally not at celebrity level.
