This is what I wish I could drill down with some of my clients. The product is always first. Any efforts and money put into the grandest campaign will always only be an add on. This is a snippet from an article about how Peach and Lilly sent their product, unbranded, to professionals and asked them to make content with organic feedback. No trends, no influencers. Now Peach and Lilly is the no. 2 prestige skin care brand at Ulta. How do you communicate with your clients who have a weak product?

Sabrina Carpenter X Johnnie Walker! Looks like all beverages, alcoholic and not, want to be tied up with the popstar. Guess it’s a win for Johnnie Walker, bringing in a fresh, younger audience by associating with one of pop’s fastest-rising stars, and letting the brand break out of the “just for whisky old-timers” box. Thoughts?

Love what Taco Bell is doing. They're putting up posters of customer-made orders in different bus stands and other areas with heavy footfall. I think it's brilliant because it's so personal, and it can very easily inspire people to make their own 'crazy order' and hope that it makes it to these posters. Highly unlikely, but it'd be worth a shot for anyone who sees this poster. Do you like it as much as I do?
