(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nJeep, Wayfair, and M&M's (via BBDO Chicago) shifted campaign focus toward entertainment formats—film genres, TV tropes, sports storytelling—rather than product features, per Marketing Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): stop writing product-first briefs. Write genre-first briefs. Ask: What narrative archetype does my buyer consume? (heist, survival, love triangle, underdog, renovation). Create one piece of content in that genre—not about the product, but the product is the only tool that makes the story possible. The M&M's in the 'Survivor' spot isn't selling candy; it's surviving. The buyer remembers the brand because the genre was memorable. Then measure shares, saves, and watch time. Repeat the genre that outperforms.\nWhat that means for you: The brands noticing this shift are not the scrappy ones—they're the ones with media budgets. Jeep, Wayfair, M&M's. They're all saying the same thing: stories beat ads. For a smaller brand, the move is the same but smaller—find one micro-genre (unboxing ritual, before-and-after challenge, DIY fail) and own it in one short form video. Post it to TikTok, measure shares, and if it converts, do 10 more in the same genre. The genre becomes your brand voice.\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/how-jeep-is-charting-a-new-course-for-its-marketing/831335/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
