☁️ Hot Mess Media

Hey Marketing Girly, would you rather have your entire bank account drained or let all of your texts get leaked? That’s the only thing we’ve been thinking about since Alix Earle’s NEW podcast series, Get Real With Me went live.

Upgrading her original name from Hot Mess to Hot Mess Media, makes us think there’s something bigger coming 👀 News recently dropped she made a $20-$40M exit from Poppi & now she’s building an entire podcast media empire…is there anything the she can’t do?

✨ Ally Golden - Madewell, Special Projects Lead
KEY TAKEAWAY - Ally’s workshop focused on the importance of clear, intentional storytelling in pitching a marketing campaign. Leading with the “why” behind the narrative before diving into the “what” will provide clarity and a deeper understanding of the concept. Knowing who the audience is and what problem they are trying to solve will also be helpful when emphasizing the impact that the campaign will have. She highlighted that it is effective for the big idea to be one, memorable sentence that can be tied together throughout the campaign.

✨ Payton Chang - Fanatics, Senior Manager of Brand Marketing
KEY TAKEAWAY - Payton led a game-day in the life workshop, highlighting all of the initiatives in place by various teams for successful content creation on game-day.
