(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nBrooklinen launched its first celebrity-led campaign built entirely in-house, shifting from agency-dependent work to owned creative execution, per Marketing Dive's Campaign Trail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): the celebrity does not sell the product — the product team does, using the celebrity's audience and credibility to reach first. By moving production in-house, Brooklinen owns the approval cycle and the data flow from the campaign. No agency markup, no 6-week approval chain.
