Interesting article on how mainstream tv studios are looking to #SocialMedia more and more - as people are getting fed up having to pay for multiple streaming services and can consume lots of entertainment straight from short form content anyway.... www.marketingbrew.com/stories/2025...
TV’s biggest adversary—and ally—is social media

Big fan of how Kelloggs have used "The OG" in their ad campaign. Also a big fan of how my husband says he always likes my posts, "because no one else does." Sweet and devastating all at the same time. 😂 www.creativebloq.com/design/logos... #advertising #branding #marketing
