Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing,Damian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):Today we're diving into one of the most buzzworthy brand moments in recent memory when Jake from State Farm crashed the Taylor Swift NFL multiverse in a way only he could.Damian Fowler (00:20):Our guest is Patty Morris, head of brand at State Farm. Patty and her team turned a viral cultural moment into a strategic marketing win from the sidelines of an NFL game to the front lines of CTV social and beyond.Ilyse Liffreing (00:34):We're talking about that famous seat swap with Mama Kelsey, and then digging into why Jake keeps showing up in all the right places and how State Farm is rewriting the playbook on building a culturally fluent brand.Damian Fowler (00:47):So let's get into it. We're going to go back to the fall of 2023 when Taylor Swift shows up at a chiefs game and sits next to Mama Kelsey and days later, Jake from State Farm's. In that seat, could you take us behind the scenes and how the idea came together so quickly?Patty Morris (01:07):Okay. Well first let me just back us up a little bit. Okay. State Farm is 103 year old, brand 103, so we have certain ways of doing things,Ilyse Liffreing (01:19):A lot of legacy there right?Patty Morris (01:19):Yes. A lot of legacy we, I think, have been successful as marketers and done a lot of great things over the decades, but we have a way of doing things and you can imagine we're an insurance company, we're risk averse, all of those things. I would just say knowing that context, how do you get from that to an agency calling you on a Friday night and saying, we have this big idea and we think you need to execute it, and it's in about 40 hours. And also it's on probably one of the biggest stages there is, and you say yes to that of course, but how do you get from A to BI think is your question. How did you make that happen? And I would just say a couple of things. One, you have to set the right conditions so that you are part of the cultural Lex Conna in a way that those opportunities come to you. And I think we had done that over time with Jake from State Farm, being really methodical about that and getting him out there in a way that people want to see him and in a way that is a best representation of our brand and allows us to be in cultural places that we otherwise couldn't without that physical brand asset.Damian Fowler (02:30):I mean, everyone obviously wanted to be part of that moment, and it's interesting that you bring up the fact that State Farm is risk averse, and yet you made it in it into that moment. Why was your connection to the Kelsey family and Jake's cultural capital so critical to making it land?Patty Morris (02:47):Yeah, I mean, I think the other context in the background around a moment like that is we've spent a long time over a decade really working to be endemic in the football landscape. Whether it was our longstanding campaign with Aaron Rogers and now Patrick Mahomes, we had brought Travis Kelsey into our football creative for the season and he was part of that work. If you remember, the Mahomes and Otto commercial was the best bundle in the league.Damian Fowler (03:15):Oh yeah, yeah, I do remember.Patty Morris (03:16):So we had all of those things working together, plus all the work we had done to make Jake from State Farm who he is, and you get this lightning moment where you have the right to be there because you have Jake and people love him, and he's a physical manifestation of an intangible product that you can put in these environments. We've built a brand that's endemic in football and is recognized in that space and just I think hats off to the creative mindset at maximum effort for calling us and saying, we think this could be a really great joyful cultural moment. And not many people could go sit in that seat next to Mama Kelsey the week after, but we think fans will love this and risk averse or not. When you hear an idea like that and you are able to put your brand in a position like that, you say yes. And if there's anybody that understands maximizing a cultural moment and doing it in the right way, I think it's maximum effort. So you trust them in that moment to do that with you. And man, we did it very quickly.Ilyse Liffreing (04:23):Very cool. Yeah, no, I know. I was just going to say it was very fast. The timing was impeccable.Patty Morris (04:30):Yeah, I think a week later it wouldn't haveIlyse Liffreing (04:32):Landed. No,Patty Morris (04:33):I agree. It had to be that weekend and just the next cultural beat right after that, and I think it really surprised people and added value to what they were seeing and during the game and just a really joyful way.Ilyse Liffreing (04:46):How quickly did it come together after the idea came into,Patty Morris (04:50):They called us on a Friday night and after a long week, a busy week said, Hey, we have this idea, but we have to make it happen on Sunday, or we don't think it'll work. And we said, we agree, but oh my gosh, how are we going to make this happen by Sunday? And so of course their next call is Jake from State Farm, are you busy? Can you be there? Can you get to New York overnight? Basically. And the actor that plays Jake, Kevin Miles is such a great partner,(05:21):He gets that call and says, what's the idea? And we tell him and he is like, well, we have to do it, we have to do that. We think so too. And he's like, then yes, I'll get there. I'll be there. So Friday night to, I can't remember what time the game was on Sunday, but wow, it was very fast and we're not used to moving that fast. That was an effort for us, but a really important moment. And I think in tipping point where we started to build some muscle around being able to capitalize on those kind of moments.Ilyse Liffreing (05:50):How long would you say campaigns usually take to come together toPatty Morris (05:54):PrepareIlyse Liffreing (05:54):A little bit?Patty Morris (05:55):It depends, right? It depends. Sometimes you plan something out and you're building something big. You do that really methodically and strategically, and it takes a while. Sometimes you're doing something that is a smaller scale and you can do that faster. But these types of things are really, we call 'em lightning in a bottle moment when it has to be, the specific parameters have to be exactly right. The stars have to align, and you have to be able to do that quickly. And so we try to work with our teams to be doing the long-term things, but also have the capacity to be able to turn and burn on a great idea when we see it. And I think that's why we've been able to hop into these cultural moments and punch above our weight as a brand because they're not paid moments, they're cultural moments that get a lot of earned attention, and that can be really powerful. Very cool.Damian Fowler (06:44):So beyond that moment, then you've got that, you capture that lining moment, then what do you do and how do you make it, you channel the cultural impact of that moment across the different channels going forward to maximize it?Patty Morris (07:00):First thing you do is celebrate, right? You took a risk and it landed and it paid off. And it's important to celebrate that because it can be really scary, right? I'm sure we've got this really precious, iconic brand in our hands. We've got this really precious asset in Jake from State Farm that we've worked so hard to build. And you take a risk like that. I think it's just important to celebrate when you make the right decisions and you're able to do it quickly. But we talk a lot about an equation that we have at State Farm, and it's a shift that we've made. We of course care about how many impressions we get. We of course care about our cost pers, right? All the things that we marketers have to care about and do care about. We try to focus on putting things through a lens, especially things like this through the lens of reach times engagement equals attention.(07:50):So when you get this sort of lightning moment, it's just a cultural moment that everybody's already paying attention to and you sort of are able to insert yourself into it. We have a lot of great partners that we work with, media partners, and we endemic in that football space. We knew everybody was going to look at that moment. We didn't really have to do a lot. We just had to put Jake from State Farm in the seat and everybody's attention turned to it, and it created its own 360 moment in its own way. And so the earned potential you get from that, the attention, that attention metric, syndicated headlines, engagement in social, everybody talking about it on replays and highlights, it's priceless. It's priceless. So I would say a lot of things, we have to work really hard to spread it across channels and make it 360. This was really just a matter of setting up the moment and then letting it do its thing.Ilyse Liffreing (08:46):How do you think about where Jake will show up next?Patty Morris (08:50):We actually try to be really disciplined about this. He is that physical manifestation of the promise that we sell in insurance and the relationship that we sell. And so I think the first criteria is, is it authentic to the brand and how we want him to show up, and is it demonstrating relationship and connection in the right way, and is it true to our values wherever he's going to show up? The reality also is he is one human being, so we have to manage his calendar appropriately. And Jake's a busy guy, very busy guy. He is an influencer in his own right. He's got 1.4 million followers on TikTok. The TikTok job alone is a lot. So we're pretty choiceful about where and when he shows up. So it's got to be the right fit. It's got to be an opportunity for us to really demonstrate that physical connection and we got to work it into the calendar. Yeah,Ilyse Liffreing (09:45):That's funny. So I would love to then now dig into some of your takeaways from that campaign. Were there any results, like reactions that you saw from the mom and Kelsey moment maybe in terms of brand lift or broader cultural impact?Patty Morris (10:01):Yeah, I mean, I think part of what has catapulted this branded asset into the cultural space in a way that just honestly, it's hard to measure. So of course we look at individual campaign metrics. Do we see brand lift in the body of commercial work that we put out? But in a case like this, it's harder to measure. So I think we mentioned the earned and the billions of impressions that created the engagement and the chatter online and all of that. But it's really all of those metrics combined with some of the intangibles. It's like when it comes to Jake from State Farm or our brand, we're constantly testing those assets for familiarity. So recognition and relevance, and we do it two or three times a year. And so we can see where he plots on that compared to our competitors and compared to our rest of our assets, we've got six, seven really important assets that are really familiar and we've worked really hard to build. Most brands are happy and lucky to have one or two. We've got seven of them.Damian Fowler (11:04):SoPatty Morris (11:05):That's a metric that we look at too, to say is what we're doing collectively and in cases like the Mama Kelsey moment, pushing those assets into higher recognition and higher relevance and uniqueness for our brand. And those are the metrics that we're looking at.Damian Fowler (11:22):I also want to ask you, what did you learn about your audience after the appearance and the way they engaged with Jake in that moment?Patty Morris (11:31):It's such a phenomenon to me that this character can be in a lot of different cultural places and be accepted. So we didn't know if you go sit him next to Mama Kelsey after a Taylor Swift moment, people are going to love it or they're going to hate it. It's not one of those things that maybe no one will notice and we'll just see. It's a big swing.(11:57):So I think we learned from fans that he is welcome in those cultural moments, and so that got us to have a little more confidence routes around some of the decisions we've made since then. So when you see him at Bravocon, you see him at TwitchCon, you see him at Coachella, and we do an exclusive drop with Travis Scott. And the reaction to him in those places, whether it's online and in social and how people comment and engage about it or in real life, is actually overwhelming. So many people will come up to us or we'll approach Jake, who are my kids love you. My kids won't stop talking about you. And even young kids, Jake from State Farm, they want their picture with him. So I think we've learned over time that he does have this universal appeal, and he's welcome. He's loved in these places, and so you're able to add value to people's experiences and to some of this context in a way that you just wouldn't expect from an insurance company.Ilyse Liffreing (12:55):So Jake obviously has become much more than a spokesperson. He's a TV personality at this point, and he's a spokes influencer as well.Damian Fowler (13:05):Spokes spoke.Ilyse Liffreing (13:07):Spoke.Damian Fowler (13:08):IIlyse Liffreing (13:08):Liked it. Okay. Say that three times. We need to redo this.Damian Fowler (13:11):No, no, it was good. I think it was good, the interaction. That was good.Ilyse Liffreing (13:14):Okay. The spoke flu? Yes. If you'll, I think you coined that perhaps. Maybe we did. Maybe we did maybe. But he has permission to show up anywhere, basically. How did you build that kind of brand equity?Patty Morris (13:30):I think it's a thousand little things over a long period of time. Original Jake from State Farm, that commercial was in 2011, right? So you've got a long history of equity in 2019. We recast that role and we're very specific about how we wanted to bring that to life. So I think it's been many things over a long period of time. But also I would say especially in some of these more recent cultural things, we test in small places. We test smaller things, we build competence, and then we try the next thing and you can see the reception to it. And I would say the other thing that stands out to people are his clothes. So red and khaki and his kind of uniform that he wears has also become pretty recognizable, and people talk about that a lot. And we take a lot of care in how he dresses and how he shows up.(14:23):So naturally we talk a little bit about apparel and fashion places and could he be accepted in that area and we can connect with a totally different audience that otherwise again, would not be connecting with insurance maybe. And so we test into small places. You wouldn't say, let's have Jake show up at the Met Gala right out of the gate you would say, where can we try a couple of places? So we work with gq, we send him to Vogue World and just see how does it go? He does a whole behind the scenes content series around it. He shows up there and fans loved it. They're so excited for him. They feel like he's their friend and they're just excited to see how he's moving through the world and everybody's cheering for him, rooting for him. I think you try in small places and you test in small places, you build confidence so that you can say yes to the big swings and you can just kind of know in your gut when that's right.Damian Fowler (15:15):Are you able to connect that recognition, that brand equity to business outcomes? I know people say, oh, there's Jake, in terms of actual business impact.Patty Morris (15:25):Yeah, of course. We're looking at brand awareness, especially with younger audiences. And like I said, Jake is universally loved. We're working hard to make sure we're relatable and relevant with younger audiences, especially in these big cultural moments. And we see our awareness scores being at the top of our category. We see our consideration scores and the trend of improvement over the last five, six years as we've really put Jake forward in this way and become really consistent about it. And there's also sort of the offline pieces of that, and you look at how people are talking about him online and the conversation and the performance on his TikTok and the brand lift that comes from that. So absolutely, we wouldn't be doing this if we didn't think it had profound business value. And I think we cracked the code a little bit on how to do it in a way that isn't a caricature or a mascot. It's this in-between version of it can really have a personal connection with consumers either digitally or commercially or in real life. And I think that's special about it.Damian Fowler (16:28):We're talking about maximizing impact, especially around new channels. Are there any that you are looking at in particular? Like CTV?Patty Morris (16:35):Yeah, in CTV streaming, just the collapsing of the funnel is how we talk about it. Where in a lot of these streaming environments, you're really able to pull people through an experience in a way that you couldn't before. So the connected piece of that, the data that surrounds that and how you actually make that work from a customer experience perspective in a way that can pull people through, not just from seeing your ad, but actually considering you and able to take an action in that moment is really exciting. So we are experimenting with a lot of different things and a lot of different partners. We did some really great work last year with Amazon and Thursday night football. So that to me is a super exciting area and one that I think marketers are going to be able to show results from in a way that we just haven't before, all across the funnel, which is super exciting.Ilyse Liffreing (17:27):It's hard for a lot of brands, especially legacy brands, to be so nimble and quick with their brand spokesperson. What would you say to marketers who are hesitant to take those kind of risks?Patty Morris (17:40):I would say know the places where you have to be vigilant about your brand and know the places where you can turn over your pen a little bit. And I think that's especially true just with the rise of creators and creators and influencers as a very important media channel. We've been talking about that a lot this week here and can around how brands work with creators and the partnership that you have to have because it can feel really uncomfortable as a brand to turn over your very precious thing to creators, but they know their audiences bestIlyse Liffreing (18:16):AndPatty Morris (18:16):They know what's going to work. And so it can feel scary, but you kind of have to turn over the reins a little bit and let them work and create with your brand in a way that's going to be relevant to consumers and their audiences. And so I think that is true in this context as well.Damian Fowler (18:32):To pull off a move like this, a brand has to move fast. And I'm curious just to hear from inside as it were, what structures or ways of working at State Farm made you capable first off of pulling something like this off, and then maybe what have you learned from it as a company?Patty Morris (18:47):Yeah, again, being 103, it's hard. We've got set ways of working and we have legal and compliance teams, and those are very real parameters that as a marketer you have to pay attention to. But culture waits for no one. Culture just keeps on moving. And if you really are going to capitalize on these moments as they happen, you have to be nimble in new ways. And I think it's just have the discussions, get on the phone, talk through it, is it the right thing at the right time? And is it worth taking some calculated risk because the benefit to the brand and the business is going to be strong enough to outweigh the risk. And there's no way you can do that or know that without just rolling up your sleeves and hashing through it with your team and making the best decisions you can for your brand.(19:31):And if you get it right, it can be a gold mine. If you get it wrong, it can really be hard. So I think that it is difficult and it's stressful, but for us, mama Kelsey moment was probably a tipping point where we said we have to recognize and be able to act quickly and nimbly when that makes sense. Not all the time that would be chaos, but when it makes sense and do it in a way that's going to be acceptable to our organization and feel good about that, but also in a way that is going to allow us not just to react to moments, but be moment makers. So I think we've moved on from that moment to do that in different spaces, and it's been great for the brand. That'sIlyse Liffreing (20:11):Wonderful. That was great. Now we have some rapid fire questions forPatty Morris (20:14):You. Okay. Okay.Ilyse Liffreing (20:17):So first one is a question that is a popular one for this podcast. What are you obsessed with figuring out right now?Patty Morris (20:26):Oh, so many obsessions. My biggest one right now is organic search and really just understanding how that's going to move and change with AI and generative AI and what that means for brands and how you need to show up. That landscape is changing and it's so critical to adapt to what really is consumer behavior, adapting to the consumer behavior in a way that is going to make sure we're showing up in the right places in the right ways. And it's probably one of the biggest places that I can see right now that is changing rapidly and significantly. So we're really working hard to make sure we're on top of that.Ilyse Liffreing (21:04):Yeah. On that note, are there other ways you are already using AI or experimenting with that?Patty Morris (21:10):Yeah, I mean, it's such an exciting time to be a marketer and also a little bit unsettling. And so I think like many others, we're experimenting in certain places. We've been using AI through certain things for a while, but there are other areas where we're really just experimenting. So probably the biggest is content scaling. How do you responsibly use AI to create content at scale and do that in the right way, in a compliant way? Because the unlock there is just exponential connection with consumers and personalized connection with consumers, and it has the potential to free up capacity of teams and agencies to do other things, more things, different things, which is really exciting, but we're also very focused on doing that responsibly.Ilyse Liffreing (21:59):Would you use it with Jake since the schedule is so packed?Patty Morris (22:04):That's a good question. No, not yet. Not yet. Jake. The beauty of Jake is he's a real person, and that's one of the core tenets of what we all love about him. I think we'll keep it that way for now. That's a good answer.Damian Fowler (22:18):Okay. So next, what's missing from the market from your point of view?Patty Morris (22:24):This week has been so interesting and inspirational. For me personally, and this might be a little bit weird, but my biggest takeaway from this week is making sure we're asking ourselves what are we trying to make people feel? I think as a marketer, you can just get really wrapped up in a lot of quantity over quality, and if there's anything we see here in can, it is definitely quality work from all over the world, and it's actually quite humbling and inspiring at the same time. My big takeaway and what I think might be missing is making sure we're trying to make people feel something about our brand. It's the most powerful thing you could do, I think, to move someone towards your products. And I think the balance of let's get everything done and let's get everything out there with are we making something of quality that's really going to create a consumer emotion and connect is something I'll be taking back to my team and something that I think is missing from the market.Ilyse Liffreing (23:27):Amazing. If Jake from State Farm could pop up anywhere next with zero constraints, where would you send him?Patty Morris (23:35):I would send him to my family reunion. So they will stop asking to meet Jake from State Farm. I get the question all the time, and yeah, everybody wants to meet Jake, which I love. Or you know what? Maybe I would send her to the future so he could tell us how all this is going toIlyse Liffreing (23:54):ShakePatty Morris (23:54):Out. That'd be pretty cool. Very cool. That'd be awesome.Damian Fowler (24:00):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (24:03):This show is produced by Molten Hart. Our theme is by love and caliber, and our associate producer is Sydney Cairns.Damian Fowler (24:09):And remember,Patty Morris (24:11):Reach times engagement equals attention.

The vast majority of people who stream themselves playing videogames online do so with few or no viewers. In Streaming by the Rest of Us: Microstreaming Videogames on Twitch (MIT Press, 2025) Dr. Mia Consalvo, Dr. Marc Lajeunesse, and Dr. Andrei Zanescu investigate who they are, why they do so, and why this form of leisure activity is important to understand. Unlike the esports athletes and streaming superstars who receive the lion's share of journalistic and academic attention, microstreamers are not in it for the money and barely have an audience. In this, the first book dedicated to the latter group, the authors gather interviews from dozens of microstreamers from 2017 to 2019 to discuss their lives, struggles, hopes, and goals. For readers interested in livestreaming, and Twitch in particular, the book rethinks the medium's history through accounts of the everyday uses of webcams, with particular attention to notions of liveness and authenticity. These two concepts have become calling cards for the videogame livestreaming platform and underlie streamer motivations, the construction of their practices (whether casual, serious, or anywhere in between), and the complex “metas” that take shape over time. The book also looks at the authors' own practices of livestreaming, focusing on what can be gained through experiencing the lived reality of the practice. Finally, the authors explain how Twitch's platform (studied from 2017–2023) informs how streamers structure their every day and how corporate ideologies bleed into real-world spaces like TwitchCon. This book is available open-access via the MIT Press website. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Is Twitch going to be shut down soon? Twitch is experiencing a crisis due to declining ad revenue, advertiser pullbacks over controversial content, and potential profitability issues, raising concerns about its future viability. Twitch's new stream label for "political issues" is seen by some as covering up rather than addressing the anti-Semitism problem, potentially failing to satisfy concerned advertisers. Twitch banned the word "Zionist" at the request of the ADL, potentially censoring legitimate political discourse and sparking debate over free speech on the platform. A TwitchCon panel where streamers ranked people from "Arab to Jew lover" enraged Chevron and other advertisers, exposing Twitch's lenient moderation of controversial content. 11 corporations and agencies have paused advertising on Twitch due to anti-Semitism concerns, potentially causing significant financial issues for the Amazon-owned platform. 00:00 Twitch streamers face massive ad revenue losses, raising concerns about the platform's future amid potential shutdown by Amazon due to profitability issues. 03:34 Major advertisers are pausing spending on Twitch over concerns about anti-Semitic content and extremist rhetoric, risking a shift to other platforms. 06:55 Twitch faces potential downfall due to declining ad revenue and possible layoffs as Amazon prioritizes profitability. 09:59 Twitch faces backlash over a controversial panel and a shift from diverse content to provocative streams, causing advertiser hesitance and concerns about its future. 12:37 Streamers are suffering financial losses due to an advertising boycott and Twitch's new policies, despite claims that the platform isn't in crisis. 16:19 Twitch is inflating payouts for top streamers to retain talent amid financial struggles, despite stable ad revenue and advertiser pullouts due to controversy. 19:57 Twitch is in crisis as major advertisers pull back, echoing YouTube's past struggles with content regulations and declining revenue for creators. 24:18 Twitch is facing significant issues, and similar challenges may soon impact YouTube as well.

Alex Goldman (podcaster) returns to the show to tell us about a block he picked up from weird conservative guy Eric Conn, host of the "Hard Men" podcast, for uhh...pointing out that's a strange name for a podcast if you're a guy who presents as an alpha. Our podcast is strange too, as we discuss the TwitchCon cheating scandal, podcast conventions, recording while under the weather, and Bryan's list of best bodily functions. Plus, Alex fills us in on Gamergate 2, John enjoys a throwback funny sports tweet, and we get a clip of Elon Musk talking about hosting SNL that Stefan deems "the worst video to ever be played on Blocked Party", which is an extremely high bar. If you want to see some other horrible videos, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month! Some of which we watch horrible videos in! But others, like this week's, are much more fun, as our friend Josh Custodio pitched us on the idea of an interview about the history of Blocked Party as we near the main feed's end.

Ever wondered why American airports feel like a scene out of an action movie while Canadian ones are a zen paradise? Join us as we recount some jaw-dropping experiences from our recent trip to the U.S., including armed guards and chaotic traffic that made us appreciate Vancouver's calm and order even more. You'll also get a laugh out of our surprise at the sheer variety of diet sodas and the subtle yet intriguing differences in McDonald's fries between the two countries.We then shift gears to the electrifying world of TwitchCon, where the atmosphere felt more like a big community meetup than a traditional convention. Fitness influencers at a gaming event? Oh yes, and we discuss how gamification could be the key to making fitness as addictive as your favorite video game. From Beat Saber in VR to the nostalgic days of Wii Sports Resort, we explore the exciting possibilities of integrating fitness into gaming and what the future might hold.Finally, we tackle the everyday struggles of keeping our diets in check while navigating stress-induced snacking. From healthier snack options like dry roasted edamame to practical meal prep ideas including dense bean salads and quick "pizzas" on naan or wraps, we've got you covered. And for a humorous twist, we entertain the quirky notion of seasoning human meat with cumin, capturing the playful spirit of our episode.
