(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nClorox deployed a cartoon frog wizard and companion character universe on TikTok Shop to test Pine-Sol products and reach Gen Z buyers, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): character IP does the selling for you on short-form platforms. Don't lead with features; lead with a character your Gen Z buyer wants to follow. Create a cast (not a single mascot) so the brand universe feels alive and worth returning to. Build the character content first, drop the product second. Test which character drives the most adds-to-cart on TikTok Shop before you scale spend elsewhere.\nWhat that means for you: This is the inverse of everything we were taught. Clorox didn't ask 'how do we advertise Pine-Sol to Gen Z.' They asked 'what character universe would Gen Z want to live in, and how do we sell cleaning products inside that world.' The frog wizard isn't a gimmick—it's the hook. A small brand can run this today: design one character, film 3-5 short videos of them using your product, seed the videos on TikTok Shop, measure which one converts. You don't need a massive franchise to own a character moment on a 15-second feed.\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 — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/marketing/marketplace-briefing-how-a-cartoon-frog-wizard-is-helping-clorox-sell-pine-sol-on-tiktok-shop/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
