What’s Up THIS WEEK: 6-7 is Over! Hallmark Movies! Lo-Fi Content Crushing it! 🥯 | Ep. 445

Bagel Bites just killed a meme, and Jay Schwedelson is here for it. From frozen snacks trying to be cool to the surprising power of lo-fi content, Jay breaks down what’s trending, what’s actually useful for marketers, and even how to hide your Instagram stories before you ruin a holiday surprise. Oh, and somehow it all ends with Hallmark movies and Mormon wives—because of course it does.
