SHOW NOTES
In the second episode of the "GenNext: Brand Strategy," podcast hosted by Bryn Hexemer, listeners are introduced to the world of brand culture and marketing through the perspective of the newest consumer generation. The episode dives into Rhode's origins and Hailey Beiber's experience as a "skincare junkie". Rhode prides themselves in maintaining their essential principles of effectiveness, simplicity, and premium ingredients. However, the real key to the brands success is their marketing strategy.
The conversation then turns to Rhode's creative marketing strategy, with special attention to the revolutionary Phone Case x Lip Gloss campaign that Hailey Bieber initiated. By making consumers into walking billboards for the business, the campaign combined marketing genius with utility by introducing a phone case made to contain Rhode lip glosses. This calculated strategy not only improves client retention but also strikes a chord with the target market of young women who value the product's elegance and convenience.
Later on, the episode dives into the new phenomenon of micro-influencers in brand promotion, emphasizing Rhode's skillful application of this tactic. According to insights from a Forbes article, Rhode benefits from authenticity, increased engagement rates, and high-quality content production when it collaborates with micro-influencers. In this episode, Shasta, a micro-influencer for Rhode Island, shares her own perspective on the function of influencers in brand advocacy. In the conversation, Shasta discusses how she got started creating content, how she found her fashion/beauty niche, and how she initially began influencing for Rhode.
As the episode concludes, host Bryn Hexemer highlights the most important takeaways and hints at the subject of the upcoming episode, which will examine Kim Kardashian's Skims' brand strategy.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
