About this listen
American Eagle’s “Great Jeans” campaign starring Sydney Sweeney went viral, but not for the reasons they expected. Instead of applause, the ad sparked backlash, with critics calling it tone deaf and even “propaganda.” Was this a total misfire, or a clever play for attention?
In this video, I break down:
• How the “Great Jeans” wordplay turned into a political storm
• Why outrage marketing spreads faster than safe campaigns
• The tension between cultural sensitivity and viral distribution
• What creators and brands can learn from controversy-driven growth
• Whether attention always equals success in marketing
When I look at this, I don’t just see a failed ad. I see a playbook for how attention, even outrage, fuels brand distribution in 2025.
