We here at Marketing Futures are dedicated to keeping you, dear listener, abreast of all the latest trends and disruptions affecting our industry. With that in mind, podcast host Mike Berberich welcomed Aaron Burghard, Creative Strategy Director at Storyhorse to unpack the agency’s Rundown Report, which looks at the pressures that are changing marketing and the world at large. This year’s edition of the report covered the rising appeal of escapism in uncertain times, the dismantling of a binary gender system, and, unsurprisingly, AI’s effect on the marketing industry.
