In this episode of The Future of Marketing, host Andres interviews Jazmyn Williams, Vice President of Brand at The Honey Pot Company — the first brand to span both sides of the feminine care aisle, offering plant-derived period care and vaginal wellness products. With just a 20-person marketing team and roughly 70 employees total, Honey Pot has scaled to over 36,000 retail doors across the US while building one of the most culturally resonant brands in a category that has historically lived in the shadows. Jazmyn unpacks how a category defined by stigma, legacy purchasing habits, and low visibility requires a fundamentally different marketing playbook — and how Honey Pot is rewriting it.

In this episode of The Future of Marketing, host Andres Vieira speaks with Ben Hudson, founder of Hudson or Hudson, a brand marketing consultancy that has shaped some of the most culturally resonant consumer brands of the past two decades. From building live activations for Panasonic at NASCAR races to architecting Brooklyn Brewery's global expansion, Ben has developed a sharp perspective on what it actually takes to earn consumer trust in an era of AI saturation, screen fatigue, and institutional distrust. The conversation centers on why experiential marketing is becoming the most defensible channel in a brand's arsenal — and how smart brands are doubling down on human connection as their core growth strategy.

In this episode of The Future of Consumer Marketing: Masterclass Edition, host Andres Figueira speaks with Todd Anthony, founder of Pinwheel Agency, a senior-only creative shop built as a deliberate counterpoint to the bloated big-agency model. After decades inside holding companies and client-side roles at Yahoo and CBS, Todd built Pinwheel around a simple but contrarian thesis: strip out the juniors, kill the bait-and-switch, and let expensive talent run fast without supervision. Eleven years in, clients like Stripe and Experian have stayed for five to ten years — and the agency is deliberately staying small to keep it that way.

In this episode of The Future of Marketing, host Andres Figueira interviews Pierre Miazga, Studio Marketing and Communications Director at Ubisoft Bordeaux. Pierre reveals how AAA game marketing has evolved from traditional campaign-based promotion to embedded development marketing - where marketers function as "enablers" rather than sellers, working directly with creative teams from concept phase through launch. With Assassin's Creed Mirage as a case study, Pierre unpacks how Ubisoft Bordeaux navigated the challenge of marketing a legacy title to hardcore fans in a market releasing 52 games per day, while maintaining creative risk-taking and authentic player relationships. His approach demonstrates how entertainment marketing can balance player expectations with creative surprise in an increasingly fragmented and competitive landscape.

In this episode of The Future of Consumer Marketing: Masterclass Edition, host Anders Figueira interviews Abdo Mazloum, Founder & CEO of Webtmize, a Montreal-based performance marketing agency. While Webtimize operates in the B2B space, Abdo shares critical insights about modern digital marketing infrastructure, the emerging shift from Search Engine Optimization to Answer Engine Optimization, and data-driven campaign methodology that consumer marketers can apply to their own brands. From scaling an agency from a spare bedroom to 25 people and 50 clients, Abdo reveals how performance marketers are adapting to AI-powered discovery, building measurement frameworks that prove ROI, and leveraging technology to do more with less in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

In this episode of The Future of Consumer Marketing: Masterclass Edition, host Andres Figueira interviews Nadim Kuttab, CEO and Co-Founder of Xevio, a performance-based native advertising agency that's rewriting the rules of agency economics. In just three years, Xevio has grown to nearly $100 million in annual ad spend with a 50-person team across Europe, built on a radical premise: no retainers, no locked contracts, and pure performance-based fees. Operating in the relatively unknown native advertising space, Xevio has carved out a defensible niche by becoming best-in-class at a channel most marketers overlook. Through aggressive selectivity (rejecting 9 out of 10 client requests), transparent performance metrics, and heavy investment in AI infrastructure, they've built a model where both client churn and employee churn are remarkably low in an industry notorious for both.

In this episode of The Future of Consumer Marketing: Masterclass Edition, host Andres Figueira interviews Jake Kurtz, CEO and Founder of Brick Media Group. Brick Media has evolved from a general digital marketing agency into a specialized social media powerhouse that helps established brands modernize their online presence through comprehensive social media management. Starting as a side hustle in 2018, Jake built Brick Media by recognizing a critical shift in the marketing landscape: the emergence of short-form video and the algorithmic revolution sparked by TikTok. By 2020, he made the bold decision to cut all services except social media, positioning Brick Media as Tampa Bay's go-to social media agency. Today, the company operates with 21 full-time W2 employees, managing everything from strategy to content creation to analytics for established businesses that need to add "gasoline to an existing flame" rather than starting from scratch.

Peter's journey from professional musician and audio producer to marketing agency founder offers a unique lens on how creative expertise translates into marketing innovation. InboundAV has evolved from a marketing automation shop into a forward-thinking agency that's leveraging AI to build micro-SaaS products and fundamentally reimagine what marketing agencies can deliver. After nine years of working with clients ranging from solopreneurs to companies with 170 locations and 2-million-person databases, Peter is now navigating the seismic shift AI is bringing to marketing services—where the competitive advantage is no longer execution capability but strategic thinking and creative direction.

In this episode of The Future of Consumer Marketing: Masterclass Edition, host Andres Figueira interviews Scott Leff, Founder of Leff Communications, a content marketing agency that has scaled from a solo freelancer operation to a 30-person team serving global B2B clients. While Leff Communications primarily operates in the B2B space, Scott shares universal lessons about building authority through content, cutting through algorithmic noise on platforms like LinkedIn, and adapting to the AI-driven content landscape that applies across both consumer and enterprise marketing contexts.
