🛠Build-A-Brand: Creative Edition Step 1: Ask the creative for ideas “just to get a sense.” Step 2: Use those ideas. Step 3: Forget to pay them. ✨Voilà —creative direction, but make it exploitation chic.✨ This reel is dedicated to everyone who’s ever been offered “exposure,” “collab energy,” or a vague seat at an imaginary table. 📍Follow maria.lankina for poetic resistance and AI art direction that knows its worth. Tag your friend who “just wants to pick your brain real quick.” Save this as your polite decline template
