Did ChatGPT Design Instagram's New Logo?
<p>This week's episode is about the difference between getting attention and actually knowing what to do with it. Alex Cooper just raised $500 million for Unwell, BÉIS sold to Samsonite for $210 million, Instagram changed its identity and pissed off the internet, and the WNBA has more attention than ever while struggling to control what that attention is actually doing to the brand.</p><p>The common thread is simple: attention has become one of the most valuable assets in business, but attention alone isn't enough. The companies winning are the ones that know how to turn it into trust, community, distribution and ultimately enterprise value.</p><p>On the episode:</p><p>● How Alex Cooper turned Call Her Daddy into a $500 million media company, and why creator-led media is challenging the traditional agency model.</p><p>● Why shutting down Unwell Hydration may actually be one of the smartest decisions Alex Cooper has made.</p><p>● What BÉIS's $210 million sale to Samsonite tells us about celebrity brands, acquisition multiples and knowing when to exit.</p><p>● Why Instagram changed its identity after ten years, and when a brand refresh is actually worth the money.</p><p>● Why Reddit may be the most valuable consumer research tool brands have right now, and why trying to manipulate it could backfire.</p><p>● Whether AI is quietly flattening creativity by making it too easy to skip the difficult thinking that produces great ideas.</p><p>● What Martha Stewart's criticism of Meghan Markle reveals about the difference between borrowing attention and earning authority.</p><p>● How the WNBA gained enormous attention but lost control of the conversation, and why attention that doesn't reinforce the brand can become a liability.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><p>Hire My Agency</p><p>Serious brand?
