Get Engaged

2026 employee appreciation event at the ATL office 🏓

Some brand collabs are about virality. The best ones? They’re about world-building. This week, we’re watching a new wave of partnerships that lean into emotional memory, aesthetic nostalgia, and lifestyle storytelling, all without feeling overdone: ✨ Dua Lipa x Porsche Cars North America brought us purpose-driven luxury, with a one-of-one 911 GTS built for charity. 🍦 Laneige x Baskin Robbins x Sydney Sweeney turned lip masks into a triple-scoop fantasy. 🌿 Heidi Klum x Erewhon gave us peak LA wellness in smoothie form. 🩷 Polly Pocket x Essence tapped into micro-play nostalgia with beauty minis for grown-up girls. 🧁 Glossier, Inc. x Magnolia Bakery reimagined your favorite cupcake in gloss form, complete with scent and shimmer. 🥾 Chili's x Tecovas reminded us that Westernwear and Tex-Mex aren’t just aesthetics, they’re identities. The takeaway? These aren’t random mashups, they’re strategic blends of nostalgia, aesthetic language, and cult fandoms that spark relevance beyond a scroll. At Get Engaged, we help brands find that perfect mix of heart, heritage, and heat. Because in a world of noise, storytelling is the edge. Want the full newsletter?

This week’s newsletter spotlights unexpected partnerships that are shifting how we think about product storytelling, from Crocs x touchland transforming hand sanitizer into wearable charms, to Waffle House, Inc. 🧇 x Chaco 🩴 tapping into diner nostalgia with trail-ready sandals. These collabs work because they do more than make sense, they merge audiences, aesthetics, and emotions to spark something sticky. At Get Engaged, we help brands find that same resonance, and build stories that travel. 📰 Dive into this week’s full breakdown. Curious to read the full newsletter?

Check out our latest Community Newsletter tracks what’s actually worth paying attention to across platforms, partnerships, and pop culture. From TikTok’s U.S.-only app development to Threads’ latest growth play and Meta’s push for DM-driven commerce, platforms are quietly rewriting how we engage, and how brands should be thinking about community building. We’re also seeing a wave of unexpected but brilliantly executed collabs: • Takis x Wendy’s (fast food with a kick) • Kylie x Van Leeuwen Ice Cream (lip butter meets sorbet) • Gap x Boiler Room (underground music meets mass retail) Dreaming of doing something like this for your brand?
