  Why Advertising Makes Breaking In So Damn Hard with Nicolet Gatewood

  Sep 23, 202632 minS1

  Advertising says it wants fresh talent, then asks that talent to arrive with agency experience already stamped on a résumé. BLAC Executive Director Nicolet Gatewood joins The Last Advertising Podcast to explain how BLAC opens the door through a paid 12-week internship, why the support continues after interns break in, and what agencies miss when they keep recruiting from the same places.

  If Advertising Wants Creators, It Needs to Understand Them with Maryah Greene

  Sep 9, 202631 minS1

  If this were the last advertising podcast ever made, Maryah Greene thinks the industry should learn how to actually work with creators. She would know. Before joining Droga5, Maryah was one. Her career started as a third-grade teacher before a plant-focused Instagram account turned into a full-time creator career, brand partnerships, a design business, and eventually an entirely new career inside advertising. Today, Maryah is Creator Partnerships Lead at Droga5, helping brands, agencies, and creators understand one another. On what we're pretending is the final advertising podcast, Maryah and Geno Schellenberger talk about what brands still misunderstand about creators, why niche communities are becoming more valuable, what five years on the creator side taught her about advertising, and why unconventional experience can become an advantage in this business. This is The Last Advertising Podcast. Until maybe next week.View all the last episodes at www.thelastadvertisingpodcast.com

  Is a Liberal Arts Education the Future of Advertising? | Professor Scott R. Hamula

  Sep 2, 202629 minS1

  As AI gets better at executing ideas, what should the next generation of advertising talent actually study? Professor Scott R. Hamula joins The Last Advertising Podcast to discuss the future of advertising education, the value of a liberal arts education, and why specialization still matters. Scott is Professor and Program Director of Advertising, Public Relations, and Marketing Communications at Ithaca College, a recipient of the American Advertising Federation’s Distinguished Advertising Educator Award and its Barton A. Cummings Gold Medal Award, the AAF’s highest honor for volunteer service. Geno and Scott discuss how AI could change what advertising students need to learn, why curiosity and connecting ideas across disciplines are becoming increasingly valuable, the role of internships and extracurriculars, and why every student should start building a learning portfolio long before graduation.

  Before We Quit, Let’s Build an American Icon | Shinola CMO Kevin Wertz

  Aug 26, 202627 minS1

  This is it. The last advertising podcast to ever be made. But before we quit, we need to talk about time. Switzerland has centuries of watchmaking history. Shinola is building an American version from a factory in downtown Detroit. Kevin Wertz, CMO of Shinola, joins Geno Schellenberger to explain how a 13-year-old brand can create a sense of heritage, craftsmanship, and permanence in a category dominated by names that have existed for generations. Shinola has expanded from watches into leather goods, jewelry, journals, bicycles, and hotels. That growth created a problem: people knew the name, but they did not always know what the brand stood for. The answer was to return to the Runwell, the watch that started everything. Kevin explains how Shinola turned that product into the anchor for the entire brand, why Detroit gives the company a story no Swiss watchmaker can copy, and how its latest campaign transformed a watch into a statement about reclaiming your time from your phone. The conversation also explores the difference between signaling wealth and signaling values, why people choose products that reflect who they are, and what agencies misunderstand about working with a CMO. Kevin closes the show with the final lesson advertising needed: people buy on emotion and justify it with rational thought. Time’s up. The advertising podcast is officially over. Until next week. The Last Advertising Podcast is hosted by Geno Schellenberger and powered by Breaking & Entering Media. Visit www.thelastadvertisingpodcast.com for all the episodes.
