 🧠 BRAND BLUEPRINT

Brand Partnership: Emily in Paris x ZEPETO

ZEPETO’s product placement in Season 4 of Emily in Paris showed potential but missed key opportunities to demo the app’s features and attract both users and brand partners.

📲 What is ZEPETO?

  • App Overview: Creates custom avatars and virtual worlds, blending fashion, beauty, and social media.

🚀 Opportunities: What I would have done as a Marketer & Brand Strategist

  1. Fashion & Beauty Try-Ons: Collaborate with brands to showcase digital versions of physical fashion.

  2. Social Media Challenge: Imagine Ashley Park (Mindy Chen) in Gucci sharing a dance challenge on TikTok with fans participating in real life or with their avatars wearing Digital Fashion from Gucci.

  3. Brand Protection: Include clauses to protect brand image and ensure positive PR.

🔑 Key Takeaway: Successful digital innovation merges interactive experiences between the physical and digital worlds by educating and onboarding new users. Make it make sense to them.

✍️ THE RUNWAY DIARIES

This week was a whirlwind of content creation and strategic work.

🤖 ChatGPT-4 Upgrade: I upgraded from ChatGPT-3.5 to 4 after my friend’s comment that the free version was like having an assistant and ChatGPT-4 feels like having a team. It’s a game-changer for content creation and endless prompts with my AI team.

Are you using AI? If not, why? If yes, what are your top tools and uses?

As a content creator, consultant, and job/project seeker, I’m learning to prioritize self-care. My nightly ritual—🍋 lemon water, peppermint diffuser, and red light mask—keeps me productive and inspired.
