The final frontier for brands? Shame.
This week, we’re talking to one of the most interesting thinkers on LinkedIn: Jasmine Bina. We got deep into how shame is the final frontier for brands, and what it takes to reframe our most deeply held beliefs.
Skip to the bits you fancy!
04:35 — THE SHAME REFRAME // Why shame is valuable for brands and how it’s about reframing the story — not just taboo busting.
08:05 — CHANGING THE STORY // How brands can actually create a new identity for consumers to overcome shame. 12:09 — UNTAPPED FRONTIERS Menopause, debt, obesity — shame is where brands make real cultural change.
14:03 — GOOD EXAMPLE // A look at MindBloom, the ketamine therapy brand talking transformation, not just mental health.
16:00 — AI & SHAMING // Jasmine on whether AI will just perpetuate our shame scripts.
21:00 — THE PENDULUM SWINGS WITHIN US // Why consumers are living contradictions — no more neat labels, and how this is also true for shame stories.
28:17 — CRAVING REAL // There's a real appetite for brands that are honest and vulnerable. Why that’s the biggest opportunity now.
31:09 — THE QUICK FIRE // Jasmine answers our quick fire:
What’s the biggest conversation you don’t think is being had right now?The disappearance of the menopause ‘dark years’ and the rise of ‘gambling over everything.’
What’s your biggest thing you think a brand should be doing differently as compared to two years ago?”Get away from vibes and go back towards meaning-making….People are looking for deeper systems, myth-making, world-building.”

What’s one new tool that you use that everyone should know about?My Mind. “It's like a much, much smarter version of Pocket that's way more visually useful too."
What niche brand is crushing it right now?”A high luxury brand from India called Sabiasachi.”
