(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nAurzen announced 'Unfold the Art,' a new collection inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat, positioning portable projection as a creative tool rather than entertainment device, per PR Newswire.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if your product is utilitarian, identify an adjacent creative or lifestyle category and license or partner with a creator or artist that lives there. Basquiat buyers are not looking for projectors, but Basquiat collectors might want a beautiful object that projects art. The play is to put your product in front of a different buyer by changing the narrative context. Small brands can do this with micro-artist partnerships or licensing deals that cost far less than major artist fees. A local muralist, a designer with a following, or a cultural figure in your region can anchor the same reframe.\nWhat that means for you: This is the art play without the art-world budget. Aurzen licensed Basquiat not to sell more projectors — to sell projectors to a different person. The person who cares about Basquiat does not care about lumens and resolution; they care that the object is beautiful and expresses something. Aurzen figured that out and built the product line around it. For a small brand in a commodity category, this is the move: find a cultural figure or artist that your best customer already loves, partner (or license), and reframe the product through that lens. The volume might stay flat, but the margin and the customer quality shift dramatically.\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 — PR Newswire: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/aurzen-introduces-unfold-the-art-a-new-creative-chapter-inspired-by-basquiat-for-portable-projection-302860420.html.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
