Oren John, the internet's favorite creative director, rates the year's biggest marketing campaigns — from The Odyssey to Marty Supreme — and explains why out-of-home is AI-proof. Manager Aaron Folbe tells the story of finding Curry Barker on Instagram before anyone else, and how a $750K horror movie turned into a box-office phenomenon. TV staff writer Serena takes us inside the writers' room, from blue-sky pitching to murdering your darlings, and why she still believes the pipeline isn't broken.
