marketing mondays is so BRAT 💚

what brands can learn from Charli XCX's marketing

⭐ IT’S A BRAT SUMMER – EVEN FOR MARKETERS! ⭐

and it has branding lessons we can all learn from!

Charli and her team went through 65 shades of 💚 green 💚 to discover the unique colour that perfectly represents her new punchy and expressive album. This process alone is a testament to the power of strategic colour selection and colour theory.

In an Instagram post, Charli detailed the journey behind this decision, highlighting how it shaped the album's visual identity and overall success. This creative approach to colour selection ignited a viral sensation, setting a new standard for how brands can uniquely and effectively engage their audience through a single colour. 👇
