Quotes
Brand Insider
A person with knowledge of the brand's marketing strategy
“She comes across as relatable — a regular 28-year-old who works hard, enjoys her social life and is unapologetic about her choices. That sense of independence and self-assurance resonates with young consumers. Empowerment is a key value for brands today, and she fits that narrative well.”
