Brand engagement notes

Brands looking to engage should focus on authenticity and a genuine appreciation for cosmic horror rather than overt promotion. Collaborations with creators, sharing relevant content, and participating in discussions about the genre can foster goodwill. However, brands should avoid blatant advertising or content that feels disconnected from the community's interests, as this can lead to backlash. Engaging with the community through creative storytelling or thematic events may resonate better with members.
