Brand Noise

A Micro Podcast on Topics of Interest and Curiosity

The world is drowning in marketing jargon, pointless rebrands, and content so forgettable it might as well be written in invisible ink. Brand Noise is here to cut through the nonsense.

This is the podcast for marketers, brand strategists, and creative professionals who are tired of the same tired buzzwords and overhyped trends. Every episode dives into what actually works in branding, marketing, and content creation—without the fluff, the filler, or the empty promises of “disruptive innovation” (whatever that even means).

Expect sharp takes, strong opinions, and a little bit of fun at the expense of bad branding. Whether it is why every brand suddenly sounds like a 25-year-old influencer, how nostalgia marketing became a cheat code, or why most rebrands are just expensive ways to confuse customers, Brand Noise is here to make sense of it all.
