  • Johnny Wants The Jet: The Loopy World of Loop Holes
    Oct 11 2025


    There are some very interesting loopholes in the world of marketing.

    Because businesses are always looking for an upper hand in a competitive category, loopholes can offer legal advantages.

    A loophole can help a company overcome barriers in the marketplace.

    Sometimes, the way a product is marketed can give customers a loophole they can take advantage of.

    And sometimes a 20-year-old kid can spot a loophole that panics a giant corporation.

  • Touch The Pickle: Marketing Gender Equality
    Oct 4 2025

    If you searched the question:

    “What player has won the most Wimbledon singles titles,” Google will tell you it’s Roger Federer with 8 wins.

    But that’s incorrect. Martina Navratilova has 9.

    This week, we look at remarkable ideas that promote gender equality.

    Including an idea called Correct the Internet.com

    And one that challenged menstruation taboos with a program called “Touch the pickle.”
