(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nRare Beauty appointed 19-year-old actress Ella Bright as its first celebrity ambassador using a story-first approach, per Glossy, following success with a prior campaign called 'Off Campus.'\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): do not hire celebrities based on follower count. Hire based on existing narrative alignment with your audience. Ella Bright appeals to Rare Beauty's core buyer (Gen Z, authenticity-focused) because her story — young actress finding her voice — mirrors the brand's positioning. Find a creator or celebrity whose existing fanbase watches the same content and cares about the same values as your buyer. The ambassador becomes a translator, not a billboard.\nWhat that means for you: Story-first is a hushed admission that celebrity is no longer about reach — it's about credibility. Rare Beauty could have hired a huge influencer. Instead it picked someone whose fanbase already trusts her judgment. That's a smaller, hotter audience. Gen Z doesn't care who has the biggest following. They care if the person feels real. This hire says Rare Beauty gets that.\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/beauty/glossy-pop-newsletter-why-rare-beauty-is-taking-a-story-first-approach-to-celebrity-ambassadors/?utm_campaign=glossydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
