Not Just Memes: Meet the Minds Behind Midwest’s Most Viral Media - Iowa Chill

In this episode, we sit down with the co-founders of Map Dot Media , the agency behind viral platforms like Iowa Chill and Midwest Vs. Everybody , to explore their journey from UNI dorm rooms to campaigns with Coors Light , John Deere , and Iowa Pork Producers . They reveal how a cow breaking through a barn wall (seriously) sparked their first viral moment, why authenticity trumps polish in meme marketing, and what it takes to turn a loyal regional audience into a profitable brand. You'll hear how they’ve balanced humor and heart , built community through content , and are now running festivals, brand activations, and an internship pipeline that’s shaping the next wave of Midwest creatives. Whether you're a farmer, marketer, content creator—or someone who's ever laughed at “Duck, Duck, Gray Duck”—this conversation is packed with insights on building brands, telling stories, and keeping it real in a world full of filters.
