(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nRevlon named musician Teyana Taylor and country artist Megan Moroney as faces of its 'Be Unforgettable' campaign, leaning on heritage positioning to modernize perception.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): heritage brands often feel compelled to apologize for their past. Instead, own it. Revlon's move is to say: we've been here longer, we know what works, and that's our advantage. The ambassador strategy is secondary; the narrative is primary. Test messaging around 'built for decades, not just this season' in your owned channels. The buyers who are tired of chasing trends are the same buyers who will pay a premium for something that's proven.\nWhat that means for you: Revlon is making the smart move—going backwards to go forwards. The beauty market is flooded with 'ahead of' formulas; Revlon just said 'we've been doing this since you were a kid.' That's a different sell. It's not an apology; it's a credential. If your brand has history, the play is to make the history the story, not the product.\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 — Digiday: https://digiday.com/marketing/theres-nothing-wrong-with-being-a-heritage-brand-how-revlon-is-updating-its-image-by-looking-to-the-past/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
