1️⃣ Purpose > Persona It’s not built on Gaga’s fame it’s built on her values: inclusivity, creativity, self-expression. Every campaign feels lived, not licensed. 2️⃣ The Rebrand That Worked They didn’t just change packaging they rebuilt the brand.

1️⃣ Audit & test creative now — not mid-November. 2️⃣ Build offer-centric storytelling (not just “50% OFF” banners). 3️⃣ Mix UGC, statics, carousels, hero vids — keep fatigue low. 4️⃣ Prep evergreen + BFCM-specific ads. 5️⃣ Set a plan to swap fast. The weekend moves quick.

6 years since starting The Loft 325. No roadmap. No playbook. Just a vision and a lot of trial & error. Building a business forces you to grow faster than you think you can. You pivot. You fail. You adapt. That’s how you build something real. 💭

Ariana didn’t lend her name she built a universe her fans want to live in. R.E.M. launched DTC-first → owned its data → built loyalty → then scaled into retail. That’s how you grow without losing your soul.
