Description
On this week's episode, we're taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane to the era of MySpace! Before Zuckerberg, Spotify, and smartphones, we were coding profile pages and curating the perfect friend's list. Learn about its rise and fall, the marketing tactics that went wrong, and how it changed the social media landscape. From being a platform for budding musicians like Lily Allen and Arctic Monkeys to a victim of over-advertising and bad user interface, let's dissect the story of MySpace. Also, find out why it's more important to keep up with the technological Joneses. Tune in for a chat filled with laughter, learning, and a hefty dose of 2000s nostalgia! 📕Show Menu - https://bit.ly/bcpshowmenu The Big Con Podcast: Emily and Dale dive into the wild world of business blunders and figure out where things went wrong (or right, but mostly wrong) and use the benefit of hindsight and a healthy dose of schadenfreude to look at where there was an impact on either their profit, their brand, or something much more dire. The Big Con examines the stories of businesses that refused to invest in strategy and where we can learn from their mistakes.
