Today we’re talking real-world guerrilla marketing that actually gets remembered. Tennessee’s Choice Plumbing rolls into parades with an 8-foot inflatable toilet, a mini-van go-kart, and rubber ducks instead of candy. And yes, it works. We swap parade stories (including the time Jodi dressed as a gorilla for Christmas), and we get into how “serious” industries ( like law firms ) can still play with taste and stay on-brand.
We also own a couple of our flops, unpack why safe ads disappear, and debate the spicy take: paid social can fluff your numbers and tank your organic for a while. Stick around for the “dumb idea that might work” , plus easy, low-budget pop-by ideas you can steal this week. If your marketing hasn’t made someone smile, wave, or steal a yard sign… it’s not memorable enough.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
