(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nMaybelline expanded its partnership with Love Island for a third season after two successful runs, with Glossy documenting the move as delivering measurable lip gloss sales lift.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): don't buy ad spots in entertainment — buy talent exclusivity. Seed your product to the cast of a show your customer is already watching, let them use it naturally, and the audience sees real people using real product in their daily lives. The friction drops because it's not an ad; it's just what the character uses. Find a show or creator series where your buyer spends 20+ hours a month, then negotiate product placement for one season. Measure repeat-purchase lift among viewers in the same geographic window as the broadcast.\nWhat that means for you: This is the inverse of the influencer play most brands still run. Instead of hiring creators to make ads about your product, you give product to scripted entertainment where millions of viewers see it used naturally. Love Island viewers are not looking for ads — they're watching characters pick partners and build drama. Maybelline shows up as part of the world, not as an interruption. The third season expansion tells you it works. Most operators are still buying TikTok ads. This is cheaper and stickier.\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/pop/glossy-pop-newsletter-how-maybelline-leveraged-love-island-to-supercharge-lip-gloss-sales/?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.
