In today’s episode of “Ahead of the Curve with Coco Mocoe”, we will be talking about the “Halloween Costume Theory” in branding. Artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX and Chappell Roan have been putting out music for 10+ years. So what changed in 2024 that sky rocketed them to household name fame? There are of course many factors like talent, skill and determination. But because this is a marketing podcast, we will be discussing the “halloween costume theory” and how it is used to sky rocket someone to massive fame.

At the end of this podcast, I will be analyzing the new “Anora” film by Sean Baker, starring Mikey Madison. It currently has a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and is one of the best films I have seen all year.
