(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Digiday, Coca-Cola is airing a campaign featuring an AI-generated clone of José Mourinho (Real Madrid's incoming manager) instead of booking the person directly, signaling a potential shift in how brands approach celebrity partnerships.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): this is not yet a play for a small brand—AI talent licensing is still high-friction. But watch for the pattern: if you have a founder or recognizable face associated with your brand, experiment with AI-generated content from that person (product demos, seasonal messages, customer service responses). The tool cost is dropping; the rights question is the next battleground. Start tracking which AI talent platforms let you license a real person's likeness for content, and prototype one piece of content per quarter.\nWhat that means for you: Coca-Cola is placing a bet: the future of celebrity partnerships is not 'pay the person and negotiate the shoot'—it's 'license the likeness and generate forever.' For physical product brands, this is coming but not here yet. What matters now: if you have a founder story or a recognizable voice tied to your brand, you should start thinking about likeness rights and asset ownership. When this technology matures, the brands that already own those rights will move first.\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 — Digiday: https://digiday.com/marketing/coca-colas-ai-powered-jose-mourinho-campaign-could-signal-a-shift-in-celebrity-partnerships/?utm_campaign=digidaydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
