(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Marketing Dive, Dove Men+Care took its reformulation to Strava (the fitness app) and social media simultaneously, targeting active male users where they train and share.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): don't announce a reformulation to everyone. Announce it to the platform where your core user already hangs. Strava is not a beauty channel — it's a male fitness channel with social proof baked in. Dove picked the place where a guy logs his performance and sees his peers' performance. The reformulation becomes a performance upgrade, not a beauty upgrade. For a physical brand: identify one platform or community where your customer spends time (not buying time — community time), and launch your new SKU there first. If you make a fitness drink, seed micro-creators on Strava or a climbing app. If you make skincare, partner with a dermatology subreddit or a women's fitness Discord. Own the niche channel first, let the results pull organic and paid attention outward.\nWhat that means for you: This is the difference between selling a product and selling to a tribe. Dove didn't spray the reformulation at 'men.' It sprayed it at guys who measure their run times and sweat volume. Strava lets them track their body as data. The reformulation fits that frame. Most brands still think audience and platform separately. The sharp move is audience-first, then pick the one platform that already owns that audience's attention. Then you can expand.\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 — Marketing Dive: https://www.marketingdive.com/news/dove-mencare-takes-to-strava-and-social-media-to-promote-reformulation/824351/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
