(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nJ.Crew's latest campaign features an unlikely trio of brand ambassadors from the comedy group Pleasant Valley — Ben Marshall, Martin Herlihy, and John Higgins — per Glossy.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): when you cast brand ambassadors, look for comedy groups or creator collectives over single celebrities. A comedy trio creates ongoing content (sketches, videos, live shows) that naturally features your product in their world. They will work harder because they own the material. A single celebrity endorser is a transaction. A comedy group is a production partner. You get multiple people, multiple content streams, and built-in creative fuel.\nWhat that means for you: This is the pattern forming across fashion. Brands are tired of paying for celebrity moments and getting a single photo. They want to work with people who make content, not just pose for it. Pleasant Valley will make sketches, bits, and videos featuring J.Crew because that is what they do. The product is woven into their work instead of appearing as a talking point. It is lower cost than a celebrity, higher upside in terms of creative output and authenticity.\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 — Glossy: https://www.glossy.co/fashion/fashion-briefing-live-from-new-york-why-snl-stars-are-becoming-mainstays-in-fashion-marketing/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you? Your logo, your products, your own private room, priced and ready, in about five minutes.
