*** The Met Gala is a night to standout, to dress to impress and really make a statement. *** Who ended up getting most of the press, the woman of the moment, who can do no wrong, Zendaya! She knows how to grow her brand right!!! *** All the press and news focused on her OTT dress and look. And why wouldn't they? The more extreme, the more interest, the more people talk about you. *** Zendaya is a master of using fashion and costume to create attention. She did it at the Dune 2 Premiere in London and countless other times. By doing so it makes it more than her own beauty and looks, it is the theatre, the shock, the fun. *** She has grown her personal brand perfectly, and she does it with the intent to become the most bankable Hollywood actor. Studios know if they cast her she'll create a massive amount of 'free marketing' with all the buzz that she generates. *** This is an example to all those in business. Look to find ways to create attraction and attention. And don't be half-hearted about it as no one will notice if you do. #brandstrategy #brandcommunication #branddevelopment #brandadvice #branding #brand

Courtroom Drama + Hollywood Hijinks: When "Lew-isVuitton" Took Center Stage Remember Alan's airport blunder in The Hangover? Turns out, his faux pas with a certain luxury brand wasn't just comedic gold – it sparked a legal showdown! ⚖️ Louis Vuitton, not amused by the misspelling (and, let's be honest, the questionable product placement), sued Warner Bros. claiming trademark infringement. But did the court buy it? Swipe right to unlock the verdict : ➡️ The Defense Wins: The court ruled in favor of artistic expression, recognizing the scene's comedic context and minimal use of the brand.Phew, free speech prevails! ➡️ A Balancing Act: While this is a win for creators, it doesn't mean brands are powerless. Cases like Hyundai using Louis Vuitton for commercial gain show they still have legal recourse against blatant exploitation. The Takeaway: This case highlights the delicate dance between trademark protection and creative freedom. So, filmmakers, here's a toast to authentic storytelling, and brands, remember – sometimes, a little laughter (even at your expense) can go a long way. #lawsuits #hollywood #trademark #creativefreedom #thehangover #branding #marketing #entertainment Engage the conversation: https://lnkd.in/g5Z6KCW9

Can Hollywood Reveal Your Brand Voice? Is your brand like a celebrity? Just like a star’s wardrobe, your brand voice defines its essence. You don't believe it? Let's see then:    1. The Iconic Outfit     Beyoncé’s stage presence is her signature; it turns heads.      Similarly, your brand’s voice should be instantly recognizable.      Evoke emotion. Leave a lasting impression.    2. Red Carpet Versatility      Celebrities adapt their style to different occasions.      Your brand should do the same.      Tailor your voice to fit various platforms.     Think of Meryl Streep's transitions from drama to comedy.     A brand voice should flex without losing authenticity.    3. Behind-the-scenes Authenticity      Fans love glimpses of a celebrity’s life.      So, share authentic stories of your brand.      Maybe your founder’s journey mirrors Oprah’s resilience.      Vulnerability is the new black.    4. Paparazzi-Proof Consistency     Celebrities maintain their image even when paparazzi strike.      Even an annoying "enemy" can turn into your most liable ally.      Withstand scrutiny.      Every tweet, every product description, every communication channel you use must align with your core values.       Keanu Reeves remains true to his humble persona.      Your brand’s voice should stay grounded. And I prefer Keanu. #brandidentity #copywritingtips #bussinessdevelopment #businessadvertising #keanureeves #holywood #marketing101 #behavior

The simple penguin suit is a thing of the past. Men walked the red carpet last night expressing their own fashion taste and personal flair. A big similarity amongst Hollywood's leading men was a little added sparkle on the lapel and a flared trouser. Also several men rocked a boot and some with a slight heel. Whether you're a fan or not, I think much of what we saw can trickle down into our own closets. My favorite is the elevated lapel pin. You can easily add something sparkly to your jacket at your next occasion formal or casual. Most of us probably don't even need to really look too far. Before heading out to purchase your bling I would inquire with your wife, girlfriend, or even mother-in-law. They may very well have what you are looking for. If you are unable to find inspiration there I would then check out a local resale or vintage shop. Elevating your dress is about the details. If you are unsure of how, when, or what to wear having a personal stylist can alleviate the frustration. I dress men for a reason. Should you find yourself frustrated or in need of a second opinion drop me a message. #ReadyForAnything #jhilburn #custom #custommade #menswear #mensclothing #fashion #style #mensstyle #personalstyle #dapper #lifestyle #chicago #evanston #northshore #mdm #maindempstermile #lifestyledbyjackson #entrepreneurship #finance #banking #healthcare #sales #business

Tonality: - Provocative and edgy achieved through suggestive imagery - Confident and empowered for authentic expression - Sophisticated and aspirational bordering the lines of edginess What do you feel about the campaign?
