Welcome to AdSquawk! In this week's episode, we talk about the current Planter's campaign surrounding the death of Mr. Peanut and forecast our expectations for what will happen when they wrap it up in the Super Bowl.

Grab a Dr. Pepper (to go with the peanuts), pull up a chair and let's talk shop!

Welcome to the season finale of AdSquawk! Don't worry, we will be back next week. In this last episode of our first year, we celebrate good branding. We kick off the convo with a series from Square and how they transformed their brand with some longer form video content telling the stories of their customers. We also talk about a fun reaction from Popeyes (because, of course) that ties into one of the funnier moments coming out of daytime game show TV from our neighbors to the north.

Welcome to this week's episode of AdSquawk!

We follow up this conversation with one surrounding Gwyneth Paltrow and Netflix's collaboration on the goop lab, a 6-episode series that leads with "curiosity and keeping it real, Gwyneth Paltrow and her goop team look at psychedelics, energy work and other challenging wellness topics."
