  • Escapism: Marketing's New Golden Age
    Jul 3 2025

    The provided podcast transcript from "The Culture Shift" explores the emerging trend of escapism in marketing, suggesting it has replaced the now-tiring emphasis on authenticity. The episode explains that "authenticity fatigue" resulted from an oversaturation of brands and influencers promoting vulnerability and "realness." Consequently, fantasy marketing, exemplified by luxury brands crafting cinematic and surreal campaigns, has gained traction by offering consumers a much-needed mental break from an overwhelming world. This shift extends beyond high fashion, as even wellness and tech companies are adopting dreamlike aesthetics, demonstrating that consumers now seek to buy into an entire world rather than just a product.
