The Wolf of GameStop
Awww. Did somebody mwanipuwate the stock mwawket fow decades and not wike it when they get a taste of theiw own mwedicine? 🥺👉👈
The underdogs of Reddit have been buying stocks in sinking, nostalgia-themed entities like GameStop. This raises the price, kicking hedge funds that bet on them going under. Love it. I’m all for sticking it to the big man, but I also question Reddit’s commitment. If r/wallstreetbets doesn’t keep up this momentum through whatever means, the fat cats will just win big on the rebound.
Is 2021 your year?
Looking to get your brand out there in 2021? Luckily for you, I’ve discovered Adweek’s 2021 marketing forecast.

So, take a look at what challenges and opportunities affect how you present yourself over the next twelve months!
Not-so Super Bowl
Some big brands won’t be competing in the Super Bowl ads-travaganza this year. The big brands that made hollow “we’re all in this together” statements last year all seem to be tightening their belts for this one. This does give first-time Super Bowl advertisers like DoorDash a shot at livening up the scene, though. Also… obligatory SuperbOwl. 🏈 🦉
