Dirty Chats

This week, I re-brand Kris Jenner's Mac collab, discuss the Alo luxury handbag disaster, and my take on how to make more $$$. I cover: 

• Kris Jenner’s MAC Cosmetics campaign → Why the “leaked photo” stunt flopped, why big brands often miss the marketing mark, and what MAC could have done differently to connect with today’s savvy audience.
• Alo Activewear’s luxury handbag launch → The $3,600 yoga-to-handbag leap no one asked for, and why brand perception matters is a fickle thing that needs to be respected. 
• The mantra that runs my business:  → I share how moving faster (and letting go of perfection) has made me more money, plus why entrepreneurs who hesitate lose out to scrappy competitors.

You’ll also hear my unfiltered thoughts on celebrity endorsements, luxury positioning, and why done is always better than perfect.

Also, SHOULD I HAVE A 3rd BABY?!

This week's a mixed bag: the reaction to Charlie Kirk's death reveals a lot about humanity, the new Bachelorette bombshell AND why a challenge might be your BEST marketing move in 2025. 

1. Running a Challenge is the BEST thing you can do for your biz.
 Thinking of launching a challenge but not sure if it’s worth the work? I break down the 5 reasons you should absolutely run a challenge — from skyrocketing your visibility to creating unstoppable momentum in your sales funnel. If you’ve ever wanted a step-by-step way to build authority, grow your audience, and convert buyers fast, this is your roadmap.

2. The Tragic Passing of Charlie Kirk
We also dive into the shocking news of Charlie Kirk’s death at age 31. Beyond the headlines, I unpack the disturbing reactions online — from grief to celebration — and what this says about empathy, political division, and the humanity we risk losing when we stop listening to people we disagree with.

3. Dirty Dish: The Bachelorette’s Wild New Lead
Finally, in our Dirty Dish gossip segment, I cover the Bachelorette shake-up: Taylor Frankie Paul, star of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, is the new Bachelorette. Is this the shot of drama the franchise needs, or the final nail in its coffin?

👉 Whether you’re here for the marketing insights, the cultural commentary, or the reality TV tea, this episode will make you think, laugh, and maybe rethink how you show up in your own business.

In this ep:

I got REJECTED from an online community for not being inclusive enough 🫤🫤🫤  I analyse Cardi B's BEST trial moments, and was Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson’s “romance” a publicity stunt?

Oh, and did I mention the daycare mix-up in Sydney where a grandfather accidentally picked up the wrong child? Yep, it was a big news week. 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Cardi B Trial Breakdown – what really went down in Beverly Hills, the courtroom drama, and why her flawless testimony became a masterclass in brand control.
• Pamela Anderson & Liam Neeson “Romance” – PR stunt or real chemistry? What this teaches us about publicity, hype cycles, and audience trust.
• Inclusivity & Online Communities – the real story of how I got excluded from a paid group, why it stung, and what it reveals about cancel culture, categorisation, and niching in copywriting.

TAYLOR SWIFT IS ENGAGED, her storytelling psychology, and is she trolling Meghan Markle? (I mean, Sussex). We also discuss why are Americans so much bolder in business than Kiwis and Aussies....

On top of covering:

• 🎤 The awkward reality of friends watching your business online (and why Farmer Sam is my unexpected podcast validator).
• 💍 Taylor Swift’s engagement - when it happened, why it matters, and why her storytelling makes her the world’s most powerful marketer.
• 👑 Meghan Markle’s With Love, Meghan Season 2 — why it’s giving “school camp counselor” instead of Netflix must-watch (and my pitch to save the show).
• 🎾 Serena Williams partnering with a weight-loss drug company (and the brand credibility fallout).
• 💡 The brutal cultural difference between American entrepreneurs vs. NZ/Australian business owners - and why Tall Poppy Syndrome is holding us back from saying the big, scary goals out loud.

It’s gossip, it’s business psychology, it’s storytelling 101… and it’s your permission slip to want more, dream bigger, and actually say it out loud.

Hosted by MYSELF, Marisa Twentyman, website copywriter of Dirty Copy.

What does J.Lo being denied entry into Chanel, Alex Hormozi’s 10-hour book launch, and Taylor Swift breaking YouTube records all have in common? Business lessons.

In this episode of Dirty Chats (where pop culture meets marketing), I talk:

• Jennifer Lopez’s Chanel snub in Istanbul → and why her relentless work ethic (and even her flops) should be every entrepreneur’s blueprint.
• Alex Hormozi’s insane $100M book launch strategy → from spending $5M+ on ads to a Guinness World Record, and what it teaches us about risk, ROI, and showing up messy but massive.
• Taylor Swift on the New Heights Podcast → 1.3M live viewers, buying back her masters, announcing her album with Travis Kelce, and what her moves reveal about relatability, hype, and partnership in business.
• The real secret to achieving more in business → why emotions are a waste of energy (my 14 yr old self didn't see this coming), how to take action even when fear creeps in, and why successful entrepreneurs don’t let feelings drive the car.

If you love marketing psychology, viral celebrity moments, and brutally honest entrepreneurial lessons, this one’s packed.

✨ You’ll hear how to turn rejection into opportunity, why “working harder than everyone else” isn’t cliché (it’s strategy), and how to stop letting emotions hijack your goals.

Who am I? I'm Marisa Twentyman, founder of Dirty Copy, and a website copywriter for brands that don't do boring. 

So yes, I love writing for businesses, but as a former highschool teacher, I love teaching you how to write good copy...

...and more importantly, how to generate good copy from AI. 

🚨 ChatGPT 5 is here — but is it the tool that will revolutionise humanity… or the technology that pushes us toward doomsday? In this episode of Dirty Chats, I unpack Sam Altman’s latest interview, why his answers worry me, and what AI’s rapid evolution means for you (and your kids).

But it’s not all existential dread - we’re also diving into the week’s juiciest celebrity and pop culture updates:

• 🎤 Taylor Swift’s 12th album announcement - hidden clues, orange carousels, and a masterclass in scarcity marketing
• 💌 Pamela Anderson & Liam Neeson’s budding romance - sourdough bread, shyness,  and the internet’s new favourite wholesome couple?
• 📺 My takeaways from Pamela’s Netflix documentary — from pattern interrupts to the personal cost of liberation in the public eye

Plus: Why refusing to learn AI now could leave you behind forever - and how to protect your future in a world where knowledge is free, creativity is under threat, and regulation is lagging behind.

If you’ve ever wanted to launch (or re-launch) a podcast and actually get noticed, this is the episode to steal from. I’m breaking down the exact strategy I used to debut Dirty Chats at #1 in multiple countries - including:

• The 10-day review + follow push that works
• How I built a “launch squad” for guaranteed action
• Why I swapped 10 small prizes for one big $500 giveaway
• The binge-drop strategy for week one
• And why I refused to do another generic interview show

But first, I start with the gossip: why I might owe Justin Timberlake an apology (Lyme disease plot twist), Kim Kardashian’s Hannibal Lecter–inspired Skims stunt, and the Sydney Sweeney/American Eagle ad that somehow turned into a political battlefield over… jeans.

What do Taylor Swift, Gwyneth Paltrow, Justin Timberlake, and the Coldplay kiss-cam cheater have in common? They all got dragged through this episode -  lovingly, of course.

We unpack:

• Denise Healy’s bold take on her almost-daughter-in-law Taylor Swift 👀
• Why Taylor’s the queen of marketing (and lipstick missteps)
• Justin Timberlake’s low-effort tour and J.Lo’s high-effort… effort
• Gwyneth Paltrow’s genius PR cameo for Astronomer
• A complete PR rehab strategy for Andy Byron, the world’s most awkward CEO
• A behind-the-scenes look at how I “do it all” (spoiler: I don’t)

If you’ve ever felt emotionally stable, wildly ambitious, and slightly unhinged all at once - this one’s for you.

In this episode of Dirty Chats, we’re diving pom-poms first into the world of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders - the glam, the grit, the weight contracts, and the whisper of cult energy. Why are 18-year-olds washing hotpants with toothbrushes while 60-year-old men rate their “cuteness”? And why do thousands of women still dream of joining?

I unpack how the DCC became a masterclass in brand strategy — and how you can steal their playbook to stand out in your own business.

Plus, a not-so-dirty detour: the tragic Air India crash. The black box recording was just released - and while my air traffic controller husband refused to go on the mic, I break it down myself (terrified of flying, barely aviation literate, so...you're welcome). 

Was it human error or something more suspicious?

Also inside:

• The bullying allegation that made me audibly gasp
• What a "brand binder" is and why it's giving ✨cult✨
• The difference between excellence and exploitation
• A rant about Facebook statuses
• And a vulnerable, low point: me, promoting this podcast on Facebook like someone’s uncle

If your marketing plan could use a little cheer (or a little scandal), this one’s for you.

🎧 Hit follow, leave a review, and remember: staying on brand doesn’t mean staying silent.

• The mindset shifts that actually made the difference - like removing emotion from content creation.
• Why you need to stop waiting for perfect ideas and start winging your strategy.
