Spotify’s AI Playlists, Budweiser’s Legacy, and the Problem with Boozy Sunny D: EP 029

from Marketing, Machines & Mischief

Buckle up, fellow marketing misfits! We’re taking streaming TV from the kids’ table to the sales funnel main course, and trust me, it gets messier than our coffee budget mid-campaign.We’re also dishing out the latest drama with WPP – because nothing screams PR like a 6,000-person game of corporate musical chairs. And if you thought AI was done taking over your playlists, Spotify is here to remind you nobody’s safe – not even your rainy day Billie Eilish binge.Plus, Real Recognizes Real as we crown Budweiser for flexing 40 years of FIFA World Cup glory in a way that doesn’t feel like it was brewed up in a boardroom. Meanwhile, Sunny D takes a hard left into questionable adulthood with a vodka collab that leaves us wondering what’s thinner: margins or morals.And don’t worry – we’ll wrap it up with our signature “Wrong Answers Only,” where the marketing wisdom is questionable but the paint color names are bold (and possibly scratch-and-sniff). Give us ten minutes and we’ll update your firmware, marketing-style.📖 Grab the new Book “How To Succeed In Marketing, Advertising and Artificial Intelligence Without Really Lying” on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3OJDXzU 🔗 **Join The Marketing, Machines & Mischief Community**✅ Official: https://MarketingMachinesMischief.com ✅ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarketingMachinesMischief ✅ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewnewell/ ✅ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MarketingMachinesMischief ✅ instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marketingmachinesmischief Marketing, Machines & Mischief is produced by Chris Stone at https://CastAhead.net
