(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nJohn Hardy enlisted Billie Eilish and Finneas to co-design two collections with designer Reed Krakoff, per Glossy, positioning the brand beyond traditional jewelry buyers into music-connected audiences.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): hire a designer known for prestige (not just a celebrity face) and lock them into co-creation with the talent — the design becomes the story, not the partnership announcement. You're not buying her audience; you're building product that her audience would already want because *she* designed it. The collaboration moves faster than a traditional campaign because the celebrity is already in the room making decisions, not approving proofs.\nWhat that means for you: This is the opposite of slapping a celebrity on a box. Eilish and Finneas actually designed — which means the story isn't 'we hired famous people,' it's 'we made something together that wouldn't exist otherwise.' That's the part that moves product, not the Instagram post. For a brand under 50M in revenue, the play is smaller: find one musician or creator whose taste already aligns with your category, give them real design input on one limited batch, and let *them* tell their audience why it matters. The collaboration becomes the product story, not a marketing campaign.\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/john-hardy-embraces-celebrity-collabs-with-new-billie-eilish-and-finneas-collections/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
