What happens when you get a Graphic Design lecturer and a Brand Researcher together in a room to chat about adverts? Join the lunatic-team of Nadine and Lora to find out as they pick apart our advertising landscape (and quickly realise these two spend far too much time together).
Despite the pure click-bait title, this episode truly is about hot lesbians kissing in cars... the Renault Clio to be exact, during their a-m-a-z-i-n-g two minute spot titled (cringingly) "30 Years in the Making". And that's not all folks! For your money this time you also get.... Nadine and Lora's shit baking tips (when you should be putting sprinkles on a cake), whether or not old people should be kissing on TV (they can, we're okay with it) and the first ever airing of the phrase "les-verts" (lesbian-adverts). For all of you nerds... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrNCVAqbCD0The advert we're chatting about and... the Marketing Week piece which is just lovely... https://www.marketingweek.com/renault-clio-ad-same-sex-relationship/And remember... we don't care what you get up to... so long as its not Apple-Bumming!
Join us this time for an absolutely not-period related podcast... where we take a look under the hood (pun intended) for the new GoUltraLow advert: "The Car". We'll be dispensing with the myths that electric cars can't go in the carwash (spoiler; they can) and that you need to be hanging about in the rain for hours to charge them (spoiler again; you don't)... see you on the other side...

Lora and Nadine take to pieces the new Tetley ad; asking among other questions... why there is only half a light pole... who are the handsome animal actors and WHY Tetley has chosen to hijack the otherwise wellmeaning Lyons tea "Now We're Talking" campaign...
