GEN C: Building Disruptive Brands from Web2 to Web3 with Kate Rouch, CMO of Coinbase

On this week’s episode of Gen C, Coinbase’s Kate Rouch talks about how the brand is looking to not only attract new users but also improve the industry at large through technology and education.

Kate was at the forefront of growing the Meta brand, formerly Facebook, and product marketing for eleven years prior to making the jump to Coinbase. She joins the podcast to discuss how working at an innovative and disruptive company like Meta helps to inform her work at Coinbase. She also gives us the insider scoop on how the infamous Super Bowl ad with the bouncing QR code came to be and what the results were. Avery and Sam also discuss AI Girlfriends, Pudgy Penguin toys and Nike’s first .Swoosh drop.
