(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Glossy, Victoria's Secret expanded its 2026 Fashion Show casting to include creators alongside traditional models and celebrities, opening the primary brand moment to audience-backed talent.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if a legacy brand (Victoria's Secret, one of the most gatekept properties in fashion) is now casting creators into its flagship moment, it means creator audience has become a primary asset class. The secondary play: your brand's flagship event — whether a drop, a live-stream launch, or an exclusive dinner — should have a creator tier. Not an influencer tier. A creator tier. The creator doesn't just promote; they participate. They're part of the moment because their audience IS part of your moment.\nWhat that means for you: This is the moment the industry admits it. You don't become a big brand by hiring models anymore. You become a big brand by recruiting the people who have already built audiences. VS could have closed this casting to models and celebrities and stayed safe. Instead, they opened it. That means they looked at conversion data, email engagement, and shelf velocity for products shown by creators versus products shown by supermodels, and the creators won. Once a brand that size admits it, every smaller brand should be running the same math on their own events.\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/victorias-secret-is-betting-on-creators-to-fuel-its-biggest-fashion-show-yet/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
