No-Nonsense Pride in 2025

Happy Pride everyone! Today's guest is the amazing Katie Martell, an unapologetic marketing truth-teller, a LinkedIn Top Voice, and speaker!

She’s been lighting up stages and LinkedIn feeds with her sharp takes on everything from woke-washing to rainbow capitalism. And with Pride campaigns flooding our feeds once again, I had to have her on.

We spill the tea on things ranging from how Pride feels different this year, Target and DEI, performative marketing, LinkedIn video tips, and more.
