Episode 1: Marty Supreme, Martha Stewart and FLRT
In our very first episode of Ad Space, Elise and Jackson break down the week’s biggest advertising moments; from the backlash to Monster Energy’s new FLRT drink and American Eagle’s unexpected Martha Stewart holiday campaign to A24’s chaotic “Marty Supreme” hype. We cover the rise of “Black Friday Apologies,” major PR headlines including the Campbell Soup executive scandal and the Omnicom–IPG merger, and put Tide and Gatorade head-to-head in a Stranger Things–themed Battle of the Brands. Plus, we wrap with our Three-Minute Meeting, offering rapid-fire strategy advice to local business Kate’s Blowouts and Rents. Tune in for sharp analysis, Gen Z insights, and a whole lot of creative critique.
