The Content of the Content w. Ana Camargo
Ana Camargo grew up watching two sides of marketing that rarely talk to each other. Her father shaped stories people actually wanted to read. Her mother made those stories convert. Ana spent her career learning to do both. As one of the architects behind Foot Locker's cultural marketing strategy in Europe, she helped build Raise the Game, a grassroots basketball program that turned underfunded community courts into a 30% increase in basketball product sales and 18 million euros in profit by year two. Now Director of International Brand Marketing at Hey Dude, Ana brings that same community-first philosophy to global brand expansion. In this episode of What's The Big Idea, she breaks down the content of the content, why most brands are producing endless assets with nothing meaningful inside them, how to earn cultural permission before you scale, and the three questions every brand must answer before entering a new market.
