Trevor Noah on shopping, advertising, and the importance of being authentic

Turns out Trevor Noah’s just like us, except maybe smarter and definitely more funny. He checks Reddit before he buys online and thinks humans rep products better than ads do. The world’s favorite South African comedian and Emmy®️ Award-winning host of “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” always has a fresh take on trends, so we asked him about the big topics of the day in partnerships.

Trevor on who’s accountable

We live in the age of the almighty product review. An advertiser can promise the moon, but customers have the last word about what a product or service measures up. Brands and advertisers must be more accountable than ever to their audiences, and for the experiences they deliver.
