Apple's Think Different campaign reshaped how a legacy brand could occupy cultural space without chasing trends. This episode breaks down the origins of that campaign, how it positioned Apple above the typical marketing playbook, and why that same positioning now creates challenges as digital platforms demand hyper-targeted, persona-driven content. The discussion covers the difference between air game and ground game marketing, what made Think Different work for its era, and where legacy brands like Apple are starting to lose ground to brands built for algorithm-driven advertising. Part of a series on different brand types, with next week's episode auditing Apple's current paid social and organic content.
