Generating buzz might sound risky, but it can be the secret weapon your brand needs to thrive. Join me, Jon Gafford, as I unpack the surprising power of controversy in brand marketing. We'll dissect Jaguar's audacious ad campaign that had everyone talking, and I'll draw connections to the legendary New Coke saga from the 1980s. Discover how these bold moves, despite initial criticism, kept these brands in the spotlight, illustrating that sometimes, breaking the mold can yield the most dramatic results. With insights from the likes of Apple, this episode offers actionable strategies to keep your business at the forefront of public conversation, no matter how fast the news cycle spins.

In the second half of the episode, I share my enthusiasm for our latest "Escaping the Drift" content. There’s nothing as rewarding as connecting with our podcast community, and I hope you find as much value and excitement in the episode as I did.
