This week, the internet truly said “you’re loved… until you’re not.”We’re unpacking one of the most chaotic weeks online, from a decades-long mystery potentially being solved, to PR disasters, to beauty brand backlash… and what all of it actually tells us about how fast the internet can flip on you. We secretly think there's a little bit of a pattern. We get into:The Banksy identity reveal and why the mystery might have mattered more than the answerThe Bachelorette season that never aired and the ripple effect of one decision on an entire productionThe Alleged influencer who accidentally exposed herself on a snark page (and why this is everyone’s worst nightmare)The Lipstick Lesbians launch backlash and what happens when your audience expects more from youAlex Earle’s launch strategy and why building in public might be the smartest move right nowAnd then we are zoooooooming out Because this isn’t just about one scandal or one brand, it’s about the pipeline:How you go from relatable → aspirational → out of touch → criticised
If you’ve ever wondered why someone goes from being everyone’s favourite to suddenly being dragged… this is the episode.
PS. HI !!!! Your internet work wives for the marketing girlies, your unofficial group chat on branding, pop culture and content.
We’re Brooke and Georgia. Brooke is a TikToker turned brand strategist who has spent years figuring out what actually makes people watch, click and care, and Georgia is a graphic designer and lover of all things branding, bringing the visual and creative thinking side to everything we unpack.
Each week, we break down the strange, fascinating and occasionally chaotic things happening across the internet, marketing and the creator economy, the conversations we would be having anyway, just now with you in the chat too.
If you love overanalysing brand launches, questioning internet behaviour, and figuring out what actually works, you are in the right place.
