Episode 99: Cat Posters with Paul Hennessey
About this episode
Cats. You may love 'em, hate 'em or feel indifferent, but there's no escaping their power, especially if you spend any time online.
Cats have a long history in the world of advertising. In our latest episode, we invite friend and poster expert Paul Hennessey back into the bar to discuss the appeal of cat posters aesthetically and financially, discuss a few of our favorites and decode why their traits and quirks make them perfect for so many different types of products.
