Brand engagement notes

Brands should approach this community with caution, as overt promotion is often met with skepticism.

Brands should focus on contributing to discussions or providing support for student initiatives rather than direct advertising. Collaborating with student organizations or participating in community events can help build trust and rapport with members.
