(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nDove Men+Care promoted a reformulation on Strava and social media, per Marketing Dive, using the fitness platform to reach its core athletic buyer directly.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): when you reformulate or upgrade a product, don't run mass-market ads. Go to the platform where your buyer already congregates and is talking about the category. Strava has millions of active athletes who discuss recovery, performance, hygiene. Dove's message—'we reformulated for athletes'—lands harder there than on YouTube. For physical brands: identify the niche platform your buyer lives on (a Discord, a subreddit, a fitness app, a hobbyist forum) and seed the product change there first. You get credibility and specificity at once.\nWhat that means for you: Most brands still think reformulation = national campaign. Dove went small and targeted. Strava is a perfect example because it's not a social network in the traditional sense—it's a utility with a community inside. Your buyer is already there, already thinking about the problem your product solves. The ad isn't selling them on the category; it's selling them on your version of it. That's a much shorter sell.\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?
