(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nRare Beauty announced 19-year-old actress Ella Bright as its first celebrity ambassador, following the success of a story-driven campaign called 'Off Campus,' signaling a shift toward narrative-first casting over traditional celebrity endorsement.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): cast ambassadors from creators who've already performed your story, not from celebrity rosters. If a creator made content for your campaign and it performed well, make them the official ambassador. They already know your brand voice. They've already been tested by your audience. You're not buying credibility—you're promoting someone who earned it inside your campaign. Identify your top two pieces of creator content from the last 90 days and offer those creators ambassador status before you spend on new talent.\nWhat that means for you: Rare Beauty didn't call an agency and ask for a celebrity. They looked at what worked inside their own campaign and said, 'let's make that permanent.' That's the kind of thinking that turns creator partnerships into actual brand voice, not just paid posts.\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?
