Bonus Episode: Nostalgia and Marketing: A Conversation with Kate Christensen
Today we have a special guest we’ve welcomed into the bar.
We reached out to Kate Christensen after reading an article she wrote for the website Marketing Brew about marketing and nostalgia.
We thought “Marketing and nostalgia? Hey, that’s us!”
Kate is currently on the faculty at Indiana University. She’s produced movies for Disney, TV shows for Sony, and is very aware of pop culture through both her background and ongoing research.
We talk about toys, food and childhood memories among many, many topics. And, of course, the movie Airplane! comes up.
So grab your favorite feel-good drink and join us as we jump into our conversation with Kate.
