This week Laura and Alexa answer a listener's question from the Twitterverse about the future of influencer marketing and talk about the things they would have done differently in the now infamous Pepsi ad. They also sit down with one of their favorite CEOs in media, the man behind "stay interesting", Carlos Watson of Ozy.com to talk about doing media differently from Silicon Valley, creating communities of “A&Es” (addicts + evangelists) and the future of Ozy as educator and/or matchmaker.  Swipe right!

Special episode…#WCW (Women Crush Wednesday!).  Laura and Alexa sit down with Mika Brzezinski, co-host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, NYT Bestselling author and Know Your Value movement founder to chat about how she found her value through the highs and lows of the news room, what could be next for Morning Joe (MoJoe going global?) and finding the next wave of talent. This #girlboss is real and funny as hell. Oh, and her Joe Scarborough impersonation, is a cherry on top.

ADLANDIA is back with #girlboss guests Lindsay Slaby, Co-Founder, Sunday Dinner and Melanie Altarescu, a creative marketing consultant, to talk about their fearless step away from corporate agency and publisher positions to build independent consultancies based on their networking savvy, eye for talent, and desire to see brands and creators successfully collaborate with chemistry serving as their north star. We also talk hilarious brief asks (1000 naked people in Times Square, anyone?) and why even big brands still need guidance to find the perfect partner. Plus, Laura and Alexa rant about the emergence of everyday people as citizens-in-chief and why there's no script more effective at communicating the raw emotion and experiences of consumers than consumers themselves. This one’s for the biz dev person and consultant in all of us. [Disclaimer: The views of the hosts are their own.]

On our first episode of ADLANDIA, we explore the balance between politics and values for both media companies and brands in a world where fake news has taken center stage. First we discuss the role satire plays in challenging the noise, and then we hear from Jake Horowitz (Co-founder + Editor-at-large of MIC.com) and Ben Cooley (CEO of LennyLetter.com) about what it means to stay authentic. We also talk about which formats communities are engaging with, the role brands can play and their advice for surviving in the most unprecedented time in culture and politics. So get out your notebooks and call off the feel-good efforts! It's time to get to know your core values and think about how offline and online relationships have crossed into a new era.
