This includes adding superstar rapper Jack Harlow to the brand’s roster of ambassadors, as well as experiments with cryptocurrency, blockchain and the metaverse.

Walk away with a fresh perspective on achieving brand growth with a “fewer, bigger, better” approach to marketing and a “50-30-20” budgeting strategy.
