Send us Fan Mail This week on The Link Up Podcast, we’re joined by Mike Hoffman — the marketing mind known for helping turn The Hive’s witty roadside billboards into one of Cayman’s most recognizable and talked-about forms of local advertising. Mike joins the crew for a wide-ranging conversation on marketing in Cayman, why some businesses are afraid to do remarkable things, AI-generated advertising, creativity, local culture and the changing way people consume news and information. The conversation also takes a few classic Link Up detours — from banning cell phones in schools and Cayman’s public transportation system to turtle, pirates, Caribbean parenting and whether everything from our history still deserves to be celebrated.
