Brand engagement notes

Brands looking to engage with this community should focus on authenticity and value rather than overt promotion. Sharing useful content, such as painting tips, model showcases, or lore insights, can resonate well. Collaborations with well-known community members or hosting contests can also foster goodwill. However, brands should avoid direct advertising or sales pitches, as members are generally hostile to blatant promotions that do not add value to the community.
