Crossing Marketing: Amplifying Audiences

Crossing marketing—amplifying audiences, creating and unifying visions, seeking common insights, modernizing and enhancing celebrity positioning—is akin to the return of commemorative editions of products. This approach is widely utilized in motorsports or in bringing together various icons of a single character or style, much like Spider-Man does.

Seeking cross-generational encounters is one of the broadest strategies, embodying a more creative mindset. It’s not merely about placing two entities in the same space; crossing is about co-creating together while maintaining distinctions but simultaneously crafting something new.
