Was That an Ad? Even the Big Brands are Making it Personal


Listen Later

This summer is going to be amazing for your content and we are going to kick it off by exploring how today’s biggest brands (think Oreo, Taco Bell, and DSW) are embracing a more personal, relatable approach in their content marketing. We’ll walk through some big brand reels breaking down how they fit into the REP hook, discussing why the best marketing doesn’t feel like marketing, and how being human and relatable always wins, even in a world driven by trends and algorithms. 

In this episode we’ll be covering:

  • Viral reels, trolls, and using the latest content trends for inspiration, not copyright infringement.
  • The importance of adding your personal spin to trends and hooks on social media.
  • The content shifts toward personalization and examples of how the big brands are adapting.
  • The power of using the REP hook and moving beyond boring how to content.
