Together, they unpack how nostalgia and escapism aren’t just emotional triggers—they’re powerful brand tools when done right. Plus, they explore how modern experiential marketing, like Netflix’s Bridgerton Ball and the Las Vegas Sphere, is blurring the lines between entertainment and brand storytelling. Whether you're in B2B or B2C, this episode is packed with ideas for tapping into emotional resonance, embracing whimsy, and designing brands around what your customers want their world to look like.
