This week, Masters of Scale examined how brands capture attention in crowded markets, from the Super Bowl-sized spectacle of Cannes Lions advertising to the more intimate challenge of building products people actually want to use. The episodes surface a common tension: while marketing can amplify a brand's message, sustainable growth ultimately depends on the product itself—a lesson evident in both Starbucks' recent missteps and the strategies that have made breakout companies succeed.
