Are remakes, sequels, and reboots lazy creativity or demand response?
The debate centers on whether remakes, sequels, and prequels in the film industry and ads represent genuine creativity or simply lazy creativity. Chris contends that these types of films are successful because they have the backing of consumers. He argues that as long as audiences continue to support them, studios will have every incentive to keep producing them. This perspective suggests that the responsibility for the prevalence of such films lies as much with consumer behavior as with the studios themselves.
Conversely, Jason views remakes and sequels as indicative of a lack of originality, finding them lazy and uninspiring. He longs for more original and creative content in the film industry. Their conversation also explores the broader implications of consumerism, noting the decline in cinema attendance and highlighting the need for the film industry to evolve its business model. This includes finding new ways to attract audiences and encourage the production of fresh, innovative films. The discussion ends with a call for a shift towards more original storytelling in the industry.

Is it worth going to Cannes? As a marketing or advertising professional? It depends...
In this episode of the Marketing Combat Podcast, Jason and Chris are battling the debate over the value of attending the Cannes Advertising Festival. Chris makes a strong case for the festival, highlighting the unique offshoot talks, unparalleled networking opportunities, and the immersive experience it offers within the industry. He shares personal anecdotes and epiphanies that he had during his time at Cannes, underscoring how these insights can only be gained through firsthand experience at the event.
On the flip side, Jason argues that the benefits of Cannes can be achieved from the comfort of home, without the hefty price tag. He views the festival as an exclusive gathering of high-end marketing professionals who are more interested in self-promotion than genuine industry advancement. Jason suggests that the essence of Cannes—its content and networking opportunities—can be accessed through virtual means and local events. The episode concludes with a critical look at the competitiveness and dominance of big network agencies at Cannes, questioning whether the festival truly serves the broader marketing community.

Does the Cannes Lion even matter anymore or is it just a nice ego boost?
On another fiery episode of the Marketing Combat Podcast, Chris Kubbernus and Jason Donnelly have a spirited discussion on the relevance of awards in the advertising industry. Jason argues that awards have lost their significance, emphasizing that the ultimate goal is to capture attention and drive sales. According to him, the real measure of success lies in the product’s market performance rather than accolades from industry peers. Chris, however, counters that awards still hold value for creatives and agencies, serving as recognition and validation of their hard work and innovative ideas, even if they don't directly impact sales or the campaign's effectiveness.
They also explore the noticeable decline in Cannes Lion Award entries (down 38% this year), speculating that this trend might stem from budget constraints or a shift in investment priorities within the industry. Chris suggests that agencies might be reallocating funds towards more immediate, results-driven initiatives rather than spending on award submissions. Both hosts acknowledge the changing landscape of advertising, where the emphasis is increasingly on tangible outcomes and return on investment, raising questions about the future role and importance of industry awards.

Should we ban fossil fuel ads?
In this episode, the conversation dives deep into the contentious issue of banning fossil fuel advertising and its potential impact. Jason passionately argues in favor of the ban, drawing parallels to the successful prohibition of cigarette advertising. He contends that just as public health benefited from reducing cigarette ads, the environment could similarly benefit from curbing fossil fuel promotions. Chris, however, counters that fossil fuels remain an integral part of modern society, powering essential industries and infrastructures. He argues that banning their advertising is a simplistic solution that ignores the complexities of our energy needs and the slow transition to sustainable alternatives.
The debate also touches on the role of fossil fuels in various sectors and the practical challenges of shifting to electric vehicles and renewable energy sources. Jason emphasizes the urgency of climate action and the moral responsibility of reducing fossil fuel dependency, while Chris highlights the current limitations and economic ramifications of an abrupt transition. The episode concludes with a light-hearted exchange, showcasing their differing perspectives while maintaining a respectful and engaging dialogue.

Watch it here before you jump in! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrfQaMAH0Ss
In this episode of the Marketing Combat Podcast, Chris Kubbernus and Jason Donnelly have a double-fried debate over KFC's latest ad campaign, "Believe in Chicken." Chris criticizes the ad, calling it a misstep in advertising strategy, while Jason staunchly defends it as a masterstroke of marketing brilliance. They explore various facets of the ad, including its entertainment value, high production quality, and controversial portrayal of consumers as mindless zombies. Chris argues that this depiction is condescending and misses the mark, whereas Jason believes it cleverly captures attention and resonates with the audience.
The discussion also goes into broader themes of advertising, such as the balance between spectacle and strategy. Chris contends that while the ad is visually captivating, it lacks a strong strategic foundation, potentially undermining its effectiveness. Jason counters that the ad's ability to grab attention and provoke thought is precisely what makes it successful. They examine the role of advertising in influencing consumer choices and the importance of creating memorable, impactful content. This lively debate underscores the ongoing tension in the marketing world between crafting visually stunning ads and ensuring they serve a coherent strategic purpose.

60-Minute TikToks - For Your Entertainment or Your Money?
In this episode of the Marketing Combat Podcast, Chris and Jason dive into a lively debate about TikTok's bold move to allow 60-minute videos on their platform. Will this be a revolutionary shift that cements TikTok as a premier entertainment hub, or will it lead to confusion and dilute the platform's unique identity?
Jason is all in on TikTok’s new strategy. He sees the potential for the platform to evolve into the next big entertainment giant, seamlessly delivering movies, shows, and other long-form content. Jason argues that this move will attract a wider audience, offering creators more flexibility and opening the door to new genres of content. He envisions TikTok becoming a one-stop-shop for entertainment, rivaling and taking over Netflix and YouTube.
On the flip side, Chris is highly skeptical. He believes that expanding to 60-minute videos could confuse users who currently enjoy TikTok for its short, snappy content. Chris argues that this change risks diluting the platform’s identity, making it less appealing to its core user base. He is concerned about the broader implications for the digital ecosystem, suggesting that the proliferation of long-form content across multiple platforms could fragment audiences and disrupt economic models.
What do you think about TikTok’s plan to introduce 60-minute videos? Is it a game-changing move that will redefine entertainment or a misstep that could harm the platform’s core appeal?

Is Mr. Beast's Content Good or Just About the Money?
In this episode of the Marketing Combat Podcast, Chris and Jason dive into a heated debate over the success of YouTube sensation Mr. Beast. Is his meteoric rise driven by the quality of his content, or is it simply fueled by his financial resources?
Chris makes a compelling case for Mr. Beast's authenticity and philanthropic efforts as key factors in his success. He argues that Mr. Beast’s genuine personality and his large-scale charitable stunts have endeared him to millions of viewers. Chris believes that it's not just the money, but the way Mr. Beast uses his resources to create impactful and engaging content that sets him apart.
On the other hand, Jason is more skeptical. He contends that with enough money, anyone could replicate Mr. Beast’s success. Jason points out that the financial backing allows for the creation of grandiose videos that naturally attract attention. He emphasizes that timing, effective branding, and an understanding of audience psychology also play significant roles, but ultimately, it's the money that enables the spectacular scale of Mr. Beast’s projects.
Chris and Jason discuss how these elements contribute to the overall appeal and success of his content. They touch on the potential risks of Mr. Beast expanding into unrelated product categories, warning that diversification without a clear strategy could dilute his brand.
The episode wraps up with a bold challenge from Jason, who dares brands to give him a million dollars to prove that he can grow their following just as effectively. This cheeky proposition underscores the central question: Is it the money or the man behind the success?

Is LinkedIn Video Scrolling Cool or Cringe? When people are saying that TikTok is the new LinkedIn, did they take it seriously?
In this episode of the Marketing Combat Podcast, Chris Kubbernus and Jason Donnelly go head-to-head in another heated battle of marketing mayhem. The topic at hand is LinkedIn's new video scrolling feature, dubbed "LinkedIn Tok." Is it a bold new move or a desperate attempt to mimic TikTok's success?
Chris opens the debate by arguing that LinkedIn Talk is unnecessary and merely a strategy for LinkedIn to catch up with trendier social media platforms. He believes LinkedIn should prioritize enhancing its algorithm to ensure that content effectively reaches followers rather than jumping on the video scrolling bandwagon. Chris contends that LinkedIn's strength lies in professional networking and content, not in mimicking other platforms' features.
Jason, however, sees potential in LinkedIn Talk. He argues that the feature could lead to a surge in valuable and educational content on the platform, transforming LinkedIn into a richer resource for professional development. Jason envisions a future where professionals can share insights and knowledge more dynamically through video, making LinkedIn a more engaging and informative platform.
Both hosts express frustration with LinkedIn's current state, acknowledging that there is significant room for improvement. While Chris wants a stronger focus on content delivery and follower engagement, Jason hopes that LinkedIn will bring fresh, meaningful content to users.
What do you think about LinkedIn's new video scrolling feature? Is it a cool innovation or a cringeworthy attempt to stay relevant? Share your thoughts in the comments and let us know who you think won this debate—Chris with his call for algorithm improvements, or Jason with his vision for a more dynamic and educational LinkedIn?

Is Facebook's New Community Feature any Good? For anyone?
Community Chats will enable people to engage with their communities in real time, discussing topics they care about through text, audio, and video formats. This feature seamlessly integrates Messenger and Facebook Groups, offering a flexible and convenient way for people to connect whenever, wherever, and however they prefer.
Chris opens the discussion by championing the new community feature, highlighting its potential to bridge generational gaps. He believes it offers a valuable opportunity for older users to engage in vibrant group chats while providing younger users with a more interactive platform. Chris also touches on the darker side of the feature, pointing out the potential for data mining and the selling of user data to other companies, raising concerns about privacy and data security.
Jason, however, remains skeptical. He argues that the market is already saturated with group chat platforms, and adding another one doesn't bring anything new to the table. Jason suggests that social media platforms are becoming too similar, losing their unique identities in the race to add more features. He questions whether Messenger's new community feature will genuinely enhance user experience or simply contribute to the noise.

Is it a valuable addition that will enhance your social media experience, or do you agree with Jason that it's just another unnecessary feature?

Would you pay for social media if they suddenly started charging?
This episode delves deep into the contentious issue of whether users should pay for social media access. Jason kicks off the debate by arguing that after a few weeks without social, he'd gladly dive back into it with a subscription.
Chris, however, takes a strong stance against the idea. He contends that we are already paying too much for social media with our time, attention, and well-being. Chris argues that the hidden costs of social media—such as data privacy concerns, the addictive nature of these platforms, and the impact on mental health—are already too high.

Was the Burger King Mega Stacker Billboard a clever ad campaign or just another instance of marketers talking to themselves?
In today's episode of the Marketing Combat Podcast, hosts Chris Kubbernus and Jason Donnelly dive into a heated debate over the Burger King Mega Stacker Billboard. Jason argues that the ad is inauthentic, claiming it’s just a flashy gimmick designed to impress other marketers rather than genuinely connect with consumers. He believes that the campaign is more about industry accolades than about delivering a message that resonates with the average burger lover.
On the flip side, Chris sees the billboard as a brilliant example of authenticity in advertising. He praises the campaign for its boldness and straightforwardness, saying it effectively showcases the massive size of the burgers in a way that grabs attention and leaves a lasting impression.
Listeners are invited to weigh in on the debate: Do you think the Burger King Mega Stacker Billboard is a hit or a miss? Does it effectively convey the brand’s message, or is it just marketing noise? And most importantly, who do you think won the argument: Jason with his critical take, or Chris with his enthusiastic endorsement?

Is AI beneficial for search engines? It’s a question with a lot of nuance and potential implications for the future of how we find information online.
In today's episode of the Marketing Combat Podcast, hosts Chris Kubbernus and Jason Donnelly talk about the pros and cons of integrating AI into search engines, using Google's recent mishaps as a springboard for their discussion. They explore how AI is reshaping the landscape of search, offering a balanced view of its capabilities and shortcomings.
Jason kicks off focusing on the potential downsides and challenges associated with AI in search. He points out that while AI can improve search accuracy, it can also introduce biases and errors. Google's recent controversies, where AI-generated search results included misinformation or inappropriate content, serve as stark reminders of the technology's limitations. He argues that there are already plenty of quality search options and bringing in AI isn't necessary.
However, Chris highlights the positive aspects of AI in search. He points out that AI can enhance search results by understanding context and user intent more accurately. With machine learning algorithms, search engines can learn from vast amounts of data to deliver more relevant and personalized results. Chris argues that AI has the potential to make search experiences faster, more intuitive, and more aligned with users' needs.
Listeners are encouraged to join the conversation and share their views on the future of AI in search. Is AI making search engines more helpful and efficient, or is it leading us into a realm of uncertainty and potential harm? How do you feel about the trade-offs between convenience and privacy?
At the end of this episode, the hosts ask for your input: Who do you think won the debate? Was it Chris with his optimistic view of AI's potential, or Jason with his critical take on its risks and challenges?

Are the social media algorithms contributing to societal division and polarization, rather than simply delivering personalized content?
On episode 13 of the Marketing Combat Podcast, hosts Chris and Jason discuss the complex dynamics of algorithmic manipulation on social media. They confront the unsettling question: Are these algorithms not only catering to our preferences but also exacerbating divisions among people across various demographics and geographical locations?
Drawing from user comments and personal observations, Chris and Jason dissect the ways in which social media algorithms may be influencing user behavior and increasing societal divisions. Chris thinks that algorithms are indeed contributing to societal polarization and that the platforms are doing it purposely and with intent.
On the contrary, Jason suggests that the primary goal of social media algorithms is to maximize engagement and profitability for the platforms. He contends that while algorithms may inadvertently contribute to polarization, their main objective is to keep users hooked on the platforms for longer periods, thus driving ad revenue and monetization opportunities. Jason emphasizes that the algorithmic division is a byproduct of the platforms' profit-driven motives rather than a deliberate strategy to sow discord.
Listeners are encouraged to share their insights and experiences regarding the impact of social media algorithms on societal cohesion. Are these algorithms merely reflecting our preferences, or do they play a more active role in shaping our perceptions and interactions with others? What measures, if any, should be taken to mitigate the divisive effects of algorithmic content curation?
After considering both perspectives presented by Chris and Jason, listeners are invited to voice their opinions and participate in the ongoing debate. Who do you believe presents the more compelling argument: Chris, with his concern about societal division, or Jason, with his focus on platform profitability?
