마이클 오언, ehamarkets 글로벌 브랜드 앰배서더 합류
ehamarkets 같은 트레이딩 플랫폼이 스포츠 레전드를 내세울 때 사람들은 단순한 “광고 모델”보다 더 큰 신호를 읽는다. 익숙한 얼굴이 붙는 순간, 금융 서비스가 가진 낯설음과 거리감이 조금은 줄어들고, 브랜드가 “대중에게 설명 가능한 언어”로 다가오려는 의지가 드러나기 때문이다. 이번 파트너십은 마이클 오언의 글로벌 인지도를 통해 ehamarkets가 신뢰, 기술, 그리고 더 간편한 트레이딩 경험을 강조하려는 방향성과 연결된다. 회사는…

Crocs debuts Niles, a new mascot built for social-first storytelling
If you’ve been watching brand social lately, you’ve probably noticed how mascots are back, but not in the old “stands next to the logo” way. They’re showing up like recurring characters: familiar, meme-able, and flexible enough to live in short-form video, livestreams, and real-world pop-ins. Crocs is leaning into that culture shift with Niles, a…
