Meme Team: Marketing, Business, and Culture
Meme Team is a marketing podcast about business, culture, and brand strategy. Marketing isn’t just logic — it’s culture. And this show decodes both. Hosts Sonia Baschez and Amanda Natividad break down real campaigns, cultural moments, and marketing trends with sharp takes and zero fluff. If you care about positioning, storytelling, or why the algorithm is acting weird again, this one’s for you. New episodes every week.
