āļø WHAT MATTERS AND WHERE WEāRE GOINGā¦
Nathanās quick take on where weāre headedā¦
First, thank you for subscribing and reading The Brand Brief! Your feedback has been invaluable - keep it coming. What do you like? What are we missing? How do we improve?
We are close to launching this to a wider audience in the coming weeks, so please feel free to forward to friends and encourage them to subscribe.
One housekeeping item: On Mondays going forward, The Brand Brief will be scaled back as conservative podcasters donāt record over the weekend.
Where the ecosystem is headed: The conservative media ecosystem on Monday will mock the lunacy of the No Kings March, then pivot back to Blue-State Democrat crime failures and protests. For more on that: Trump announced plans to take action in San Francisco, and Pritzker opened up about his media strategy to keep his White House feud going. Both videos are insightful. - NRB
