It seems like social media changes a LOT. That’s because it’s changing everyday and as Marketers, we gotta stay ahead of the curve. 

This episode’s guest is Nick Tran, current CMO at FARFETCH and former TikTok, Hulu, and Samsung marketer. Here’s a truth some marketers don’t want to hear: most brands are playing it too safe and it can trap you in a cycle of sameness in social media content. The solution? Originality. Creativity. And those two things are gonna help you stand out, especially in the age of AI. 

Plus, Nick shares his thoughts on the death of the feed, the rise of community-led and experiential marketing, and why Gen Z has a different relationship with brand loyalty. 

And, Daniel brings up an analogy: what do struggling D1 football players and failing social media accounts have in common? Hint: it has to do with fundamentals. 

If you’re a marketer who wants to stay ahead of the game on social and stand out this year, this is the episode for you.
