Let’s break down the Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle denim campaign and explore how a simple pun—“great jeans” —or “great genes” sparked controversy, ignited cultural debates, and spun out between clever and careless branding.

You’ll learn:

• How Sydney Sweeney leveraged her image (yes, including bathwater sales) to build a powerful brand
• Why American Eagle’s biggest ad campaign may have accidentally touched on themes of race, beauty standards, and body politics
• What this moment teaches us about marketing strategy, cultural sensitivity, and the future of brand storytelling
• Tangible lessons creatives, marketers, and founders can apply right now\
