Welcome back to The Digital Collective — I'm your host, Jarika Moon, and this podcast is powered by Lunar Innovations 🌙
In this episode, we dig into the roots of marketing — what it actually is, how it evolved, how it differs from branding, and how it's shaping the culture we live in. From TikTok replacing Google for Gen Z, to Barbie still winning campaigns, to small businesses going viral with lo-fi authenticity — we explore marketing as connection, culture, and purpose.
You'll walk away understanding:
The difference between marketing & branding (and why both matter)
How marketing went from word-of-mouth to AI-driven strategy
How storytelling can spark change — not just sales
4 simple tips to start your own digital journey
