Social media isn’t getting easier, it’s getting crowded. And most brands are playing the wrong game.
In this episode, Daniel sits down with Nick Tran (President & CMO of First Round, ex-TikTok, FARFETCH) to break down what’s actually happening in social media right now…and what’s coming next.
They dive into why content is starting to feel the same, how AI is raising the floor (and killing differentiation), and why the future of marketing won’t be won in the feed. Nick shares how brands should think beyond trends, what it really takes to build brand love, and why most marketing playbooks are already outdated.
If you’re relying on hacks, templates, or chasing virality, this episode will challenge how you think about social, creativity, and brand building.
