We crash the World Cup to explore how Beats by Dre managed to become the world’s coolest brand by getting banned from the world’s biggest marketing stage. Goooooooaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll!

We celebrate the arrival of summer by sitting around the campfire, singing along to the S’more Song, and discussing DQ’s new marketing campaign. It’s gonna be a hot one!

We imbibe the latest packaging innovations from top beverage brands. We verify the icy-coldness of Coca-Cola; warm up to the holiday season with Starbucks; and get drunk on originality with Absolut vodka. Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!

We celebrate and denigrate the latest bizarre celebrity-brand pairings. We ride in a Dodge Durango with Ron Burgundy; watch Jean Claude Van Damme make a double impact for Volvo; and try on clothes made from cool by Christopher Walken. Wowie. Wow. Wow.

We discuss the high-stakes game of summer movie marketing. We’ll tell you what blockbuster marketing drove our butts to cinema seats and what films flopped at inspiring us to leave our air-conditioning and HDTVs.

We peep into the marketing future and catch a glimpse of Oreo dipping its cookies into robotics, Lexus driving the red carpet at the Oscars, and Google converting us into a culture of cross-eyed nerds.

We watch in awe as GE rounds up some familiar robot faces, Apple plays Ping-Pong with Venus and Serena, and Planet Fitness sounds the alarm on lunks.

We bust out the barbecue, beer barrels and body paint to cheer wildly as a band of vicious competitors vie for glory on Super Bowl Sunday.

We go through the marketing ringer as Hasbro forces us to fight for the right to use the iron in Monopoly, Axe Body Spray sends us into space smelling really good, and Zicam makes us do battle with a boogery beast.
