FADING · momentum 74 · since 2026-07-14

Attach your brand to the lifestyle language customers already use, not to product features. That's how you make the category conversation yours.
How to do it
- Catch a lifestyle keyword your target actually uses
- Position as a partner to that value instead of pitching product benefits
- Build it out as a mood film centered on everyday scenes
