This one started with video… and spiraled into chaos (the good kind).
In this episode of Ducks Unplugged, Ashley and Deanna break down why video works, why it so often doesn’t, and what brands should actually be doing in 2026 to stop wasting time, money, and attention.
🎥 The video moments that changed us
🍼 A “What the Duck?” involving NYE diapers in NYC
❤️ Why one classic commercial (hi, Folgers) still proves the power of doing it right
🧠 Real talk on why most brand videos miss the mark
🔥 Rapid-fire hot takes (most videos are too long… fight us)
Along the way, we pitch how Pampers should open a commercial, how Amazon could use video way better, and why boutique agencies are uniquely built to fix the chaos.
This episode is equal parts strategy, nostalgia, and unfiltered opinions — with a side of creative pressure testing.
