Meme Team: Marketing, Business, and Culture
04/30/25 • 22 min
First episode of the Meme Team podcast! Sonia and Amanda talk about why everyone cared so much about Rory McIlroy winning the Masters, the real tea about TikTokers saying all the luxury brands manufacture in China, and the significance of Ryan Coogler's thought leadership.

- Pope Leo XIV (is this America's big marketing opportunity?)
