(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nAéropostale entertained Gen Alpha by partnering with creators on a branded mini-series, per Marketing Dive, shifting beyond traditional product marketing into narrative-driven content.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): do not hand a creator a brief asking them to sell your product. Commission them to make a series—3 to 5 short episodes—where the product lives in their world. Let them write the story. Gen Alpha does not trust ads but will watch a creator's series in full if the first episode earns it. Budget this as content, not as a media spend.\nWhat that means for you: This is the generational move. Gen Alpha was born into YouTube and TikTok and does not perceive a line between creator content and branded content the way millennials still do. If a creator they follow makes a series, they watch it. Aéropostale understood that. The product is not the story—the story is the story. The product is just in it.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Marketing Dive: https://www.marketingdive.com/news/how-aeropostale-entertains-gen-alpha-with-a-creator-led-mini-series/824693/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
