(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nVictoria's Secret shifted its Fashion Show casting from traditional models and celebrities to include creators as a primary pathway, per Glossy.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): do not invite influencers to amplify your event; make the event's core roles *for* creators. The show itself becomes their content, their credential, their story to tell. This is not a seeding program — it is a casting strategy. Every role (runway, backstage, commentary) goes first to creators with documented reach. The event becomes native content before it airs.\nWhat that means for you: Most luxury brands still see influencers as air cover — you make the show, they film it. Victoria's Secret flipped it: creators are now the show. This works because the creator's audience tunes in to see *them*, not the product; the product is just the stage. If you have an event, your first casting call should go to your audience, not your traditional gatekeepers. The person with 200K followers gets the credibility lift, you get native documentation, and the product gets honest coverage from someone their peers already trust.\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/?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.
