Episode 58 - Marketing An Odyssey with Virginia Smith: Part 1 (2010: The Year We Make Content)

Virginia Smith is taking us back to 1984 to explore the official “2010” studio marketing guide! Budweiser, Apple, J .C. Penney, Target, Walmart, Kinko’s, Sheraton, and B. Dalton are just a few of the many familiar brands clamoring for a piece of MGM/UA’s massive “Space Odyssey” campaign.

Books, magazines and games! T-shirts, jackets, hats, buttons, patches, posters and shiny jackets! And who knew there were pajamas?? 

Plus: PAN-Am, K-Mart, and Mervyn’s!
