Are You for Me, Against Me or Just With Me? What the Market Says About Brands Making a Stand

The algorithm doesn’t just show us what we care about. It can start to shape what we think we care about. In this episode of Market Says, hosts Marcus Collins and Gayle Troberman, alongside University of Michigan students get to the heart of how brand relevance works in a feed-first culture. If people are discovering issues, products, controversies and cultural cues through their “for you” pages, then brands are no longer just competing for attention - they’re competing to become part of someone’s identity. For marketers, the question becomes less “what do we want to say?” and more “how is the market receiving, reshaping and sharing what we stand for?” Because today, brand meaning doesn’t only live in the campaign. It lives in the feed. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
