This video was recorded with personal brands and entrepreneurs in mind—but if you’re deep in the Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, or Justin Baldoni rabbit hole, you’re going to love this too!
In this breakdown, I’m unpacking nostalgia marketing—what it is, how it works on your subconscious, and why it’s one of the most powerful (and manipulative) tools in marketing today.
Using Ryan Reynolds’ recent “visit” to Kingston, Ontario and subtle alignment with The Tragically Hip, we’ll look at how public figures use nostalgia to build emotional trust, even when the connection isn’t fully real.
We’ll also explore Taylor Swift’s multiple album re-releases and tour drops as a case study in identity marketing and emotional loyalty.
You’ll learn:
• What nostalgia marketing actually is
• How it bypasses logic and sells through emotion
• Ethical vs. manipulative uses of nostalgia
• How to use it to revive your brand, reconnect with your audience, or launch something new with emotional precision
Whether you’re a business owner, creator, marketer—or just someone fascinated by the celebrity PR machines behind Reynolds, Swift, and the It Ends With Us rollout—this video pulls back the curtain.

Breaking news hit on Friday: Justin Baldoni Sues His Former Publicist Stephanie Jones, Alleging She ‘Maliciously’ Leaked Texts That Sparked Legal Battle With Blake Lively.
This was the news so many following the lawsuits have been waiting for.
Stephanie Jones appeared to be ground zero for the allegations Blake Lively would bring to the New York Times in a hit piece called 'We Can Bury Anyone':
Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine. Yet, the lawsuit itself wasn't the most shocking part for me.
As I started digging into Stephanie Jones a very clear picture started to develop on why Justin Baldoni left her agency, and why she retaliated the way she did.

Was Ryan Reynolds MNTN once Steelhouse? A company that underwent fraud allegations after inflating ad conversion numbers?
In this 2nd instalment of a multi-part breakdown, we investigate how Mountain, Ryan Reynolds’ ad-tech venture, attempted to rebrand after a fraud lawsuit involving Steelhouse—and how that pivot aligned perfectly with Maximum Effort’s merger with MNTN.
Coincidence? Maybe. But it gets deeper.
We follow the strategic breadcrumbs from Mountain to Maximum Effort to “It Ends With Us”, revealing what may have been a calculated attempt to create a “Barbenheimer 2.0” moment—this time, with Deadpool and It Ends With Us at the center.
Was Blake Lively’s mysterious illness a coincidence? Or a carefully timed delay to align both film releases? And when the viral marketing strategy flopped—who took the fall?
All signs point to Justin Baldoni.
This is the story of lawsuits, power plays, and how marketing strategies can rewrite narratives before the public even knows what’s happening.

In BREAKING NEWS the Daily Mail has an exclusive about who is up first for depositions, and the name may or may not surprise you! Sources say that TAYLOR SWIFT is being deposed in the legal drama after Lively supposedly referred to the "Fortnight" singer as one of her "dragons."
Justin Baldoni released a screenshot of an alleged text message from Lively wherein she supposedly referenced Swift as one of her "dragons," who "protect those I fight for."
According to Justin Baldoni he felt pressured to accept Blake Lively's version of the rooftop scene for It Ends With Us due to the pressure from Blake's "dragons", Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift.
What are your thoughts? Do you think the court hearing about protection orders will be about Taylor? Do you think legal representation for Taylor will be there?
