The Old Spice advertising campaign that launched in 2010 is one of the most studied brand turnarounds in modern marketing history. What made it work was not the humor, the production quality, or the viral spread. What made it work was a deliberate decision to stop talking to the people who were already buying and…
Red carpet photos are social media content, but only if you treat them that way from the start. A photograph taken at a premiere or awards show is a raw asset. What turns it into content is the intent, context, and distribution strategy behind it. Most brands that use event photography on social media skip…
Red carpet photos are social media content, but only if you treat them as a starting point rather than a finished product. A raw image of a celebrity on a step-and-repeat is a press asset. What you do with it, how you frame it, when you post it, and who you direct it toward, determines…
Branded fashion brands are not simply companies that sell clothes.

Used well, AI is a strong ideation partner….
