(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Marketing Dive, Zevia tapped Cardi B for its biggest campaign to date, shifting the brand's voice toward real talk and broader cultural relevance.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): when you are selling a me-too product (better-for-you soda, cleaner deodorant, etc.), the differentiation is not the product — it is the person saying it. Do not hire a celebrity for reach; hire them for voice. Cardi B's biggest asset to Zevia is not her follower count, it is her refusal to sound like a brand. Find a public figure whose personality is the opposite of corporate, then let them speak your product into their actual life on camera. The unpolished moment is the proof.\nWhat that means for you: Every health-forward brand in beverage and personal care is running the same 'clean, simple, better' campaign. Zevia said no — we are going to be loud and honest instead. That's not a bigger media buy; that's a permission shift. Cardi B is not a lifestyle influencer; she is a personality who makes you believe she actually uses what she is talking about because she would never pretend. Most brands would have hired a wellness influencer and posted the same recycled content.\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 — Marketing Dive: https://www.marketingdive.com/news/zevia-taps-cardi-b-to-serve-up-real-talk-in-biggest-campaign-to-date/825763/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
