Salad: The Advertising Podcast

Cole and Zack sit down with Francesco Petruzzelli, Chief Technology Officer at Bidstack, to discuss the future of advertising in video games. From the ads you see lining stadiums in your favorite sports game to the exclusive virtual skins your character wears while playing, we've just scratched the surface of what in-game advertising is capable of. On this episode, Fran, Cole and Zack discuss it all.

After getting canceled last year due to the pandemic, the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity returned in 2021. Join the Salad Boys as they review the winners and share their thoughts on ads from the past two years that cleaned up shop on one of advertising's biggest stages.

The Salad Boys are all coming back to you now. This week, Zack, Cole and Trent discuss a new ad for Mountain Dew Rise starring LeBron James like you've never seen him before. Then they break down what could be the best ad of quarantine- a two and a half minute spot from Extra Gum that will make you laugh, cry and feel so much joy about returning to life outside of your home. 

The boys are back at it again. After taking their second hiatus of the year (yes it's only April) Trent, Cole, Zack are in their home studios again to talk ads. Tune in to hear their thoughts on Apple's impeccably-crafted AirPods spot, Impossible Meat's attempt to look like real meat, and Ryan Reynold's latest ad for Mint Mobile starring a familiar looking Satan who now tortures customers as an employee at Big Wireless.

It's been a mellow few weeks in the ad world, but brands are slowly kicking back into gear. This week, the boys discuss the return of Fearless Girl with a new message for International Women's Day, the undeniable humor and charm of Phyllis from The Office crafting a wedding, and a rare misstep from Ryan Reynolds and Maximum Effort. Tune in and feast your ears.
