Mr Tickle: When Marketing Feels Like Harassment | Classics with Rachel Allen

You know that pushy, over-familiar marketing that makes your skin crawl? There's a 1971 kids' book that perfectly captures why it feels so violating. Rachel Allen joins me to discuss Roger Hargreaves' Mr. Tickle - a creature with impossibly long arms who bothers people without permission. We explore how his antics mirror shouty bropreneurs + LinkedIn messages that sound like dating attempts. We dig into brand voice, being genuinely yourself versus copying loud marketers + why palm trees aren't actually native to LA. Look for more classics episodes where we answer the business questions nobody's asking.
