Is AI actually going to end the world, or are tech executives just playing a high-stakes PR game?


JC Perez and David Verjano are back for Episode 21 of The Owlgorithm to break down the latest strategy moves across fashion, fast-casual CPG, out-of-home advertising, and AI safety panic.


On this week's agenda:

  • Hanes Drops the "Safe" Image: Why Hanes moved away from basic underwear marketing to tackle modern social anxiety.
  • Fast-Casual Redesign Audit: Modernizing 1,500 locations for Tropical Smoothie Cafe and Carrot Express's play to upscale its brand footprint.
  • Beyond Meat vs. Real Good Foods: How product bloat causes identity crises in CPG.
  • Tactical Out-of-Home: How a single word on a banner can beat million-dollar ad campaigns in dense cities.
  • The AI Safety Debate: Unpacking the viral "10% extinction" claims, open-source models, and closed-network regulatory capture.
  • The U Returns to Nike: What $200M means for the Hurricanes brand equity.
