World-building needs surrounding media narratives

The Oscars don’t feel the same, and that’s not just nostalgia. In this episode, Camille and Phillip break down the collapse of monoculture, why Hollywood is losing relevance, and what that means for brands trying to stay visible.

From Revolve’s event strategy to Tesla’s diner experience and the rise of TikTok Shop, this episode unpacks why campaigns are no longer enough, and why brands need to think like media companies. They also explore why most launches fail, how world-building actually works, and what founders need to understand to win in today’s attention economy.
