Brand engagement notes

Brands should engage authentically by showcasing their own artistic interpretations of ruins or collaborating with community artists. Avoid overt promotion; instead, focus on contributing to discussions or sharing relevant content that aligns with the community's interests. Participating in themed challenges or offering constructive feedback on artwork can foster goodwill, while promotional posts without context are likely to be met with skepticism.
