(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer PR Newswire, Ready earned a spot on Bain & Company's 2026 Insurgent Brands list for the second year running, joining a cohort of high-growth, disruptive consumer brands.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): a second-year insurgent ranking is proof-of-concept for retail and influencer pitches. When Bain names you twice, it means your growth story is not a fluke—it's a pattern. Use this in wholesale conversations: 'We're the only brand in our category named insurgent twice.' In investor decks, it's a moat signal: 'Bain tracks disruptive brands; we made their list twice.' Never bury the ranking; lead every pitch with it. Press release it, post it on every channel, print it on lookbooks. It's a 24-month messaging asset.\nWhat that means for you: Most brands chase virality and hope it sticks. Ready's play is quieter and smarter: hit a category early, stay consistent, let third-party analysts notice. Bain's not a paid endorsement; it's a research team saying, 'This brand is outrunning its peers.' That's worth more than any influencer post because it's structural proof. If Ready is smart, they're now weaponizing this for wholesale expansion and direct retail partnerships. 'Insurgent' becomes a selling word.\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 — PR Newswire: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi3gFBVV95cUxNb2ctTjdDcTlRUFpkVFFqNUoxWU5yM0tXekdEc19VZkVoNkdzT0NweWxnQkhQb1lWUEdtcDVsai00NnpiTDVjaHRtTkR3NXE0RkZIWmhJVXRBajRoSkw4bVQ0dVprTmtZWXdBRld6Q3RNNmhKekxNYWJYeTNhd2dXR2d3WW5iNGF0aHMtTnZvWXNsblp6R3BKWHJNLW1wNGN3ZWp1dHduQmhraU9sTXJQRDdsZVkzem1IempQUnJ2VEF2bWtndVZqVWwyVlNBc3NLWHFsY1FLUjFjWS01eHc?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
