What does a bad date and two frustrated 25-year old employees have to do with how Dos Equis' most iconic mascot was born? The Most Interesting Man in the World campaign by Dos Equis has a backstory you would never have imagined! It was essentially created out of spite and ended up being one of the most iconic and memorable ad campaigns, taking Dos Equis from an obscure Mexican beer with so-so regional sales to be one of the leading beers in the U.S.

In 2007, Todd Davis the CEO of LifeLock decided to do something BIG to capture the attention of the millions of Americans he wanted to use his identify theft protection software.

What do you get when you combine a viral talking asshole, a banned ad campaign turned three-minute SNL skit, a unique offer for the naming rights to the Buffalo Bills' stadium (who wouldn't attend the Toilet Bowl at Tushy Stadium?!), and the hands-down weirdest Super Bowl contest ever?

You get TUSHY, the detachable bidet for people who poop. The brand was founded by Miki Agrawal after she was given a cheap, clip-on bidet for Valentine's Day from her then-boyfriend, now husband.  Miki is a pro at pulling off BIG PR stunts and sparking viral conversations. You may remember her from our Thinx Period Panties episode #8. 

Tushy is one of the brands that the pandemic accelerated... remember the toilet paper shortage? Tushy was the solution and it was evident when the company saw 10X normal sales during the first two weeks of March 2020, experiencing a $500,000 sales day and then a MILLION DOLLAR DAY. 

This episode is all about shit, literally. But it's full of so many wacky and big, creative ideas so listen and ENJOY!

Tiffany & Co. may be over 184 years old (WOW) but it is not afraid to shake things up to prove it is just as relevant today as ever. It is no easy task for such an iconic brand to be perceived as fresh and cool to new generations (we're talking about you Gen Z), but timeless, exclusive, and attractive to the generations who have been buying Tiffany for decades at the same time. The direction that Tiffany & Co is taking today with its marketing in an attempt to do just that is a bit shocking. In this episode, we cover some big PR stunts, some surprising collaborations, some seemingly offensive ad campaigns and possibly a HUGE change to the brand’s iconic color! Did someone say Tiffany Yellow? 

Get ready to dive deep into the vault of all things Tiffany in this episode.
