(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Glossy, a growing cohort of beauty brands are treating content creation and entertainment as primary channels, displacing traditional advertising as the discovery mechanism.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): do not make a product commercial and buy media to run it. Instead, produce a 3–8 minute film that answers a genuine question your customer has (how to use the product, why it exists, what problem it solves), release it for free on YouTube and TikTok, and let media outlets and creators embed it as content. If the film is entertaining, publications will cover it as a story, not as an ad. Your media spend becomes production, not reach. The product appears in context, not in interruption.\nWhat that means for you: do not make a product commercial and buy media to run it. Instead, produce a 3–8 minute film that answers a genuine question your customer has (how to use the product, why it exists, what problem it solves), release it for free on YouTube and TikTok, and let media outlets and creators embed it as content. If the film is entertaining, publications will cover it as a story, not as an ad. Your media spend becomes production, not reach. The product appears in context, not in interruption.\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 — Glossy: https://www.glossy.co/beauty/your-favorite-beauty-brands-are-now-also-entertainment-brands/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
