Meet your BFFs in Marketing, Cassie + Erica
about us
Founded by long-time friends Cassie Tucker and Erica Spitzley, who have shared their passion for marketing (and happy hour!) since 2015, Marketing Happy Hour is more than just a weekly podcast—it's a community born from a shared desire to add value to fellow marketing professionals navigating the challenges of the industry.
The idea sparked during a four-hour dinner at a Tampa, FL restaurant in 2020, where the duo realized the potential of their shared insights over happy hour. Initially conceived as a Clubhouse live show, combining their love for the food and wine industry with marketing discussions, the concept quickly evolved into a podcast format so the impactful conversations they were having could be shared with a larger listener base. Today, Marketing Happy Hour not only serves as a dynamic audio show highlighting guests from some of the world’s leading brands, but has blossomed into a vibrant community full of incredible marketing professionals and is on its way to becoming a leading learning platform for all Millennial and Gen Z marketers.
