Duolingo is rethinking its TikTok strategy after seeing declines in organic reach.* **Duolingo CMO Manu Orssaud** helped build the brand with marketing that leaned into TikTok trends and wasn't afraid to get sassy in the comment section. Now, Duolingo and its rotund Duo bird mascot, who famously ripped out a fart in a five-second Super Bowl ad, are growing up. What does that mean? For one, fewer **'butt jokes,'** Orssaud said in an interview. While crass humor gets eyeballs, there's a risk in getting more and more risqué to maintain the shock factor. Orssaud wants to recalibrate Duolingo's marketing output from **'80% unhinged, 20% wholesome'** toward a more balanced approach. ### TikTok Strategy Shift: From Organic to Creator-Driven Plus, while going viral on TikTok helped make Duolingo famous, it's now harder for organic content to land there, despite the brand's 17 million followers to its main English-language account, Orssaud said. **'There isn't that much room to grow in terms of audience and impressions we can drive from our own account,'** Orssaud noted. Orssaud said TikTok wants brands to pay for reach through ads, but he'd rather invest those dollars in creators. Duolingo is about to experiment with what it's calling a **'creator army.'** It's begun outreach to creators, big and small, to encourage them to become paid ambassadors and make new TikTok burner accounts for fun content about the Duolingo brand. **User-generated content** is where the reach happens, Orssaud said. That's why you're seeing the Duo mascot out and about in the real world more often: from being styled as Bad Bunny for an NYC subway train takeover to rocking up at a Charli XCX concert. It's the kind of surprise that encourages people to whip out their phones and share the moment online. ### Shifting Focus to Reddit, WhatsApp, and Good-Old-Fashioned Blogging 2026 is all about **user acquisition** for Duolingo. The app reached 50 million daily active users in 2025, though its growth has been decelerating. It's looked to boost growth by improving its product and introducing new courses, such as advanced 'B2' language learning, music, and chess. The company also spent around **$126 million on sales and marketing expenses** in 2025, up 39% from the prior year. As AI becomes central to marketers' brand awareness strategies, Duolingo recently staffed its first team dedicated to **Reddit**, which is frequently ranked one of the top-cited sources for AI answers. It's fast becoming Duolingo's go-to platform for sharing new product updates and gathering feedback, Orssaud said. It's also doubling down on **PR** and producing content for the Duolingo blog. Beyond these generative engine optimization tactics, Duolingo has also found **WhatsApp** to be a useful new broadcast channel. The company began testing a WhatsApp channel in Brazil, which it has grown to a community of 1.7 million Portuguese speakers. More recently, Duolingo launched an English-speaking channel, which it uses as an extension of its blog. It has grown to 236,000 followers in about a month.]]></description> <author>contact@marketingremotejobs.app (MarketingRemoteJobs.app)</author> <category>duolingo</category> <category>marketingstrategy</category> <category>tiktok</category> <category>contentmarketing</category> <category>brandevolution</category> <enclosure url="https://i.insider.com/69e7dadc367066d7c296f4c9?width=1200&format=jpeg" length="0" type="image//69e7dadc367066d7c296f4c9"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[How DiDi’s Controversial Flute Ad Defied Internal Hate and Boosted Market Share by 33%]]></title> <link>https://www.marketingremotejobs.app/article/how-didis-controversial-flute-ad-defied-internal-hate-and-boosted-market-share-by-33</link> <guid>how-didis-controversial-flute-ad-defied-internal-hate-and-boosted-market-share-by-33</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 22 Apr 2026 08:00:25 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[DiDi has grown its AUNZ market share by **33%** in 18 months with a tiny budget and a behemoth competitor, thanks to a three-minute, fever dream of an ad—that some internal stakeholders, including its top marketer, partially **“hate.”** “The internal stakeholders, a lot of them hate it, they really don't like it,” head of brand marketing **Tim Farmer** told a room of marketers in Auckland yesterday, at the Marketing Association’s #OnSocial conference. “This is quite rare in companies, but our business understood the ad wasn't for them. And they understood the position we were in: Zero brand equity when we started.” After his keynote, he told LBB he too felt uncomfortable with parts of the three-minute film, which launched last July, starring a mischief-making, flute-playing character called **Nudgy**. “There's things in the ad that I don't like,” he said. Around two thirds of the way through the full-length film, the hairy-chested, orange-clad Nudgy is playing his flute in a pub when a pregnant woman “does a kick, has a baby.” “I hate it, right?” Tim continued. “And my point of view was: Why? The ad's risky enough. Is that going to be too provocative? I still don't like it, but we shot it, and we said, 'Let's see it in the final edit. Let it happen. And then scale it back in the edit if you feel really uncomfortable.” The moment “kind of broke the flow and draws you back in”, so it stayed. And because the work launched 18 months into his tenure—he joined in 2024 after close to a decade at Disney—he had earned his leadership team’s trust, and trusted creative agency Sunday Gravy. “I think this is where a lot of marketers can learn. **Give your agency agency.** ” It worked—driving a **100% increase in top-of-mind awareness** (from 6% to 12%); a **28% increase in rides**; **41% increase in regular usage**; **83% increase in preference**; and **32% increase in new riders**. The creative garnered **16.8 million social views**, leading to a **196% surge in social engagement**, and **158,000 Spotify streams** of the earworm flute track. That track, and the work, was purposefully divisive. But Tim would “rather be remembered than forgotten, and if that means some people don't like that, I think that's okay.” The **David to Uber’s Goliath**, Tim needed to build the brand, not the category. So DiDi AUNZ left celebrities, polish, and the ‘ride home’ to Uber, and chose to own **“weirdness”** and the night out. If “we're in the 400-metre race, we've started running backwards,” Tim said. “One of the ideas was 'Let's Uber a Didi', which, for obvious reasons, the legal team shut down, but it's a great creative territory, right? People say, 'The other rideshare brand'. I'm like, ‘There's one, it's Uber, we can say the name, it's not Voldemort, you know?' They're doing great things, they grow the category.” It didn’t take long to land on silliness as the vehicle through which to express DiDi’s anti-establishment personality. “We're in a category which has become quite sanitised and very safe,” Tim said. “I really felt we needed to own the social occasion, And social occasions are weird, wacky, wonderful.” “We did look at naughty brands like alcohol [and] gambling. All the vices. And we looked into how they do it because they want to capture this sense of fun. And ultimately, booking an Uber or a Didi—no one's excited about that, they're excited about where they're going.” Armed with a marketing team of four, a very small budget (the brand invested in cut-through creative over the media buy), and a challenge to raise local brand awareness for the Chinese-owned company, Tim started small, experimenting on social with “silly, low-cost things” to test “how we could be more mischievous with our tone of voice.” In 2024, it converted a Camry into a chariot, and launched a tow service. Baking **‘weirdness’** into the brand incrementally bought Tim time to gain internal buy-in. He showed stakeholders local ALDI work challenging Woolworths and Coles’ duopoly; took inspiration from strange yet fame-building ideas like Carlton Draught’s ‘Big Ad’; and held tight to the knowledge the direction, bizarre as it was, would work strategically. “It was the only option we had if we weren't going to be the back-up to Uber. **“Comfort isn't effectiveness and consensus isn't effectiveness.** You're there to grow the business ... The biggest risk at the moment is not taking a risk.” Many Australian marketing teams have faced recent redundancy rounds, so Tim observed, “To be successful and be noticed, sometimes you have to put your neck on the line, right? Sometimes you have to say, ‘Well, this is why I'm here, and this is what I'm bringing, and I think this will work.’” ‘Yes, I DiDi’ was the **fifth most recalled ad in Australia in Q1** (up from sixth in Q4 2025), according to Cubery—**44% of people hated it, 56% loved it**, and almost nobody was neutral. The brand partnered with the AFL, and the Australian Open over January, so concentrated its limited media spend in Melbourne and Perth. “The fact that we're five on that Cubery list with no spend, we haven't promoted it in Sydney, Brisbane, or Adelaide. “I genuinely was never worried that it wouldn't work from start to finish, right? Because I knew it was a good idea, I knew it was grounded in a credible position. I didn't think it would work as well as it has, to be honest with you, I thought it would take longer. And I would like to spend more behind it.” The brand filmed a year’s worth of social content in a single shoot last year, ran a one-shot summer sequel, and launched a social dating series called ‘Love at First Ride’, which achieved a **68% view through rate** for one 3-minute episode, and clocked up **4.5 million views** in a month. The brand’s Instagram page now has a **27.7% view through rate**, up from 8.6%. Then there’s DiDi’s Kick Ons: a series of raves in tiny, strange spaces like a launderette, car wash, or mechanic – ensuring partygoers have somewhere to DiDi. “I don't genuinely see myself competing with Uber,” he said of the marketing push. “We don't focus a lot on what they do because we're trying to be distinct from them. “There's far bigger things to compete with—like everything else on that scroll—than Uber. You're not competing with ads anymore. **“If you create a brand world, you have options. If you create a 30-second ad, you're in trouble.”**]]></description> <author>contact@marketingremotejobs.app (MarketingRemoteJobs.app)</author> <category>didi</category> <category>marketingstrategy</category> <category>brandawareness</category> <category>creativeadvertising</category> <category>risktaking</category> <enclosure url="https://d3q27bh1u24u2o.cloudfront.net/news/2026-04/Tim-Farmer.1byK1GcH.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[How I Built a Launch-Ready Pizza Brand in Just 30 Minutes Using AI — And Why Human Designers Are More Important Than Ever]]></title> <link>https://www.marketingremotejobs.app/article/how-i-built-a-launch-ready-pizza-brand-in-just-30-minutes-using-ai-and-why-human-designers-are-more-important-than-ever</link> <guid>how-i-built-a-launch-ready-pizza-brand-in-just-30-minutes-using-ai-and-why-human-designers-are-more-important-than-ever</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:00:35 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Image credit: Future/Amanda Caswell* ## What I Asked Claude Design to Create I gave Claude Design a simple brief: - **Brand name**: Crusted - **Product**: Ready-to-eat cold pizza - **Audience**: Gen Z, busy professionals, students, parents - **Style**: Bold, modern, premium, fun - **Packaging**: Grab-and-go convenience store energy - **Tone**: Smart, playful, slightly rebellious  *Image credit: Future* With minimal input, Claude Design got to work immediately. It interpreted the intent well, leaning into branding that felt contemporary and shelf-aware. It generated **clean typography**, **bold food-forward visuals**, and **packaging concepts** that looked built for modern retail—not generic templates. When it needed more details (like fonts or logos), it asked questions similar to what an advertising agency would, helping refine the output. In minutes, I had a **logo**, **package renderings**, **branded visuals**, **marketing language**, and **product presentation ideas**—all neatly organized and labeled. ## A Partner for Copywriters and Graphic Designers  *Image credit: Future* Many graphic designers and copywriters worry that AI tools like Claude Design might replace them. After this experiment, it's clear that while **entry-level production work may shrink**, **great designers are more valuable than ever**. AI can generate polished visuals quickly, but it doesn't replace human expertise. Designers bring **strategy**, **taste**, **consistency**, and **trust** to clients. They know how to layer assets and add creativity to make a brand truly stand out. The future isn't "AI versus designers" but a **more productive opportunity** for designers who know how to use AI effectively. AI generates options fast, but **humans choose the winners** and refine outputs to ensure quality and uniqueness. ## Why This Matters  *Image credit: Shutterstock* For years, building a brand required design skills, expensive freelancers, or a lot of patience. Now, tools like Claude Design are **democratizing the process**. If you have a solid concept and decent instincts, you can go from a rough idea to a polished prototype in one sitting. This is especially important for people with great ideas but tiny budgets—not everyone can afford an agency. I also tested Claude Design with existing brand assets from freelance work, and it seamlessly used that information to create additional materials like newsletters and packages, showing its versatility. ## The Takeaway Whether you're launching a new product or need social media posts, Claude Design can take your branding and create what you need in minutes. Crusted might be a silly concept, but the experiment shows how **AI can turn ideas into something concrete and market-ready quickly**. In 30 minutes, Claude Design transformed a brand from imagination to launch-ready. Try it yourself by uploading your ideas, messy mood boards, or notes—and see how AI can accelerate your branding process.]]></description> <author>contact@marketingremotejobs.app (MarketingRemoteJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>branding</category> <category>marketing</category> <category>entrepreneurship</category> <category>design</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7ZZTxiQf4qtLy9hpMzfKmE-1497-80.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Nike's Boston Marathon Sign Backlash: A Lesson in Inclusive Marketing]]></title> <link>https://www.marketingremotejobs.app/article/nikes-boston-marathon-sign-backlash-a-lesson-in-inclusive-marketing</link> <guid>nikes-boston-marathon-sign-backlash-a-lesson-in-inclusive-marketing</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 19 Apr 2026 08:00:24 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Nike angered many with its Boston store sign.

If you've spent years building organic strategies, watching it happen in real time is uncomfortable. But it's also clarifying. I started seeing the shift across SaaS clients. Pages that had driven steady traffic for years — educational, **top-of-funnel (TOFU) content** — were losing ground. Not because the content got worse, but because users no longer needed to click. **AI Overviews were doing the job for them**. That forced a decision: keep defending the old model or adjust the strategy. I chose to adjust. What became clear pretty quickly is that while informational content is losing clicks, **bottom-of-funnel (BOFU) content is holding up** — and in many cases, driving more qualified leads. This isn't just a trend. It's a **fundamental shift in how value is created through search**. ## The Pivot: Making BOFU the Priority My approach now is straightforward: **60% to 80% of output goes toward bottom- and mid-funnel content**, with the remainder covering supporting TOFU topics that fill content cluster gaps or address timely industry conversations. When I pitched this shift to clients, the conversation was easier than I expected. I put it simply: - "You have a choice between traffic and leads. If you want leads, here's how we get there, even if it means less traffic." I was upfront that overall traffic might dip. But whoever shows up is more likely to convert. That framing landed. Nobody argued for traffic when the alternative was a qualified pipeline. The most effective bottom-of-funnel pieces are **comprehensive comparison and listicle-style guides targeting high-intent queries**. One of the best examples is a guide to the best time-tracking software for construction. Before writing it, I built a reusable review methodology for the client. The guide called out pros and cons honestly, including the client's own product, because that's what builds **credibility with readers evaluating their options**. It was factual, specific, and written for someone in the middle of a purchase decision, not someone casually browsing. Within weeks, it became our most cited article in LLM responses. It's now a cornerstone piece, regularly appearing in conversion paths and driving qualified leads. That single piece delivered more pipeline impact than a dozen informational posts from the previous quarter because it **answers the question a buyer is actually asking**, not the one that gets the most search volume. ## TOFU Isn't Dead. It Just Has a Different Job Now. I see many SEOs treating this as an either-or conversation. To be clear, I haven't eliminated TOFU content. I've repositioned it. **TOFU's job now is to build topical authority that helps BOFU pages rank**. It's the supporting structure, not the primary event. Guides and educational content: - Support the content cluster. - Establish expertise in Google's eyes. - Pass internal link equity to BOFU pages. For my clients' content, we've revisited the best-performing TOFU pieces and made them work harder. We added sections that connect the information directly to the client's product, supported by screenshots and subject matter expert quotes. We also redesigned calls to action to match the context and placed them throughout the content, rather than just at the end. For several clients, this led to a measurable increase in visitors navigating to demo request pages, without changing the informational intent. The key distinction: You should still produce a meaningful volume of TOFU content, but make sure it has a **unique angle** — something not widely known or discussed from your perspective. In a sea of AI-generated content, that specificity is what drives performance. ## Why This Works in AI-Driven Search People arriving from AI platforms show up with context. They've already explored the problem. They're evaluating options. This aligns with how **AI Overviews are applied in search results**. AI Overviews still appear far more often for informational queries than commercial ones. Ecommerce searches trigger them far less frequently, which helps protect bottom-of-funnel content — at least for now, though coverage for commercial and transactional queries is rising quickly. That shift in behavior changes what content performs. Informational content loses value when answers are summarized upfront, while **decision-stage content becomes more useful** because it helps users compare options, validate choices, and move forward. That's why bottom-of-funnel content holds up. It aligns with where the user is in the process, not just what they searched for. The time tracking software comparison piece I mentioned is a clear example. It's consistently cited when users ask about construction time tracking tools. That visibility doesn't always show up as a click, but it appears later — in branded search, direct visits, and ultimately, leads. ## The Attribution Problem You Need to Accept Here's the challenge: **bottom-of-funnel content's value is systematically underreported** in traditional analytics. Someone sees your solution mentioned in a ChatGPT response, researches your brand, and converts later through a direct visit or branded search. In GA4, that journey often shows up as direct traffic. It looks like SEO didn't contribute — but it did. That's why I've shifted clients away from traffic as the primary success metric and toward a broader set of signals, including: - Brand search volume trends. - Citation frequency in LLM platforms. - Direct traffic movement after content publication. - Conversion rate changes, even when traffic stays flat. The ROI of BOFU and LLM-optimized content is higher than what dashboards show. If you're evaluating performance based only on immediate click attribution, you're missing where SEO is actually creating value. ## Your Practical Playbook for Shifting to BOFU Here's how to turn this shift into a practical content strategy: - **Audit your existing content for BOFU gaps:** Before creating anything new, identify which high-intent, purchase-stage queries you have zero coverage on. These are often the easiest wins. - **Build comparison content with real methodology:** Create a review framework you can reuse. Be honest about pros and cons, including your client's product. Credibility is what makes these pieces rank and get cited. - **Retrofit your best TOFU pieces:** Add product-connected sections, contextual CTAs, and subject matter expert input. Make the informational content do conversion work, too. - **Build LLM tracking into GA4 now:** A regex-based segment capturing ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and other AI referrers gives you visibility into a channel most clients have zero data on. - **Reset the success metrics conversation with clients:** Traffic volume is increasingly a vanity metric. Lead quality, branded search growth, and conversion rate are what actually matter in this environment. AI Overviews have fundamentally changed the economics of informational content. But that disruption creates a strategic opening. Bottom-of-funnel content has always converted better. AI is simply removing the incentive to keep over-investing in content that drives traffic without driving revenue. The window to shift strategy is still open. It won't stay that way.]]></description> <author>contact@marketingremotejobs.app (MarketingRemoteJobs.app)</author> <category>seo</category> <category>contentstrategy</category> <category>aisearch</category> <category>bofu</category> <category>marketing</category> <enclosure url="https://searchengineland.com/wp-content/seloads/2026/04/Why-bottom-of-funnel-content-is-winning-in-AI-search.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Is Your Brand Identity Obsolete? How to Thrive in the Age of Dynamic Content]]></title> <link>https://www.marketingremotejobs.app/article/is-your-brand-identity-obsolete-how-to-thrive-in-the-age-of-dynamic-content</link> <guid>is-your-brand-identity-obsolete-how-to-thrive-in-the-age-of-dynamic-content</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 14 Apr 2026 16:00:28 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Image credit: Liquid Death* The brands that are successfully breaking this cycle are shifting their thinking from **“what we look like”** to **“how we behave and enable others to create.”** This means evolving briefs, toolkits, and governance models to support deliberate, scalable content production that serves both human audiences and platform discovery algorithms. **Flexible identity systems** and **strategic content franchises** are essential, and brands that fail to adapt risk irrelevance or incoherence. ## Corporate Identity to Channel Identity We’re in a new era of corporate identity building. What was once driven by an **iconic logo**, graphic simplicity, and an architecture signaling brand ownership, must now be adaptable across channels, for an audience that includes a constantly evolving **AI persona**. A new hybrid challenge has emerged: how to deliver on the engagement opportunity while maintaining coherence.  *Image credit: NYT Cooking* We see some of the more effective working models of this in traditional media brands such as The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The BBC. They retain the fundamentals of an iconic masthead and build everyday relevance by developing a variety of **content franchises** (NYT Cooking, Wirecutter, The Athletic, etc.), some evergreen, and some of which change from day to day and season to season. Similarly, today’s brands need to evolve from thinking in terms of type, colour, and photography that lives within a single brand to how those same devices stretch across content franchises and media channels. **Brand management** must balance formal visual consistency with a dynamic editorial content platform that can flex, experiment, and occasionally challenge visual norms. This combination of a visual constant, paired with variable systems and storytelling, allows the brand to stay recognisable while flexing to engage as the news and entertainment cycle evolves. ## Platform and Content Thinking Many brands have a difficult time freeing themselves up from their **“corporate identity.”** However, reframing your marketing mindset for today’s channels and audiences can pay enormous dividends.  *Image credit: Red Bull* **Red Bull** is a clear exemplar: through Red Bull Media House, the company has built a full-fledged media ecosystem – Red Bull TV, The Red Bulletin, and creative hubs like Red Bull Studios – that produces everything from live events and music programming to cinematic sports films. By owning distribution, investing in long‑form storytelling, and operating physical and digital studios for creators, Red Bull has transformed product marketing into a portfolio of **content franchises** that build community, loyalty, and distinctive cultural positioning. Every brand should be looking at its portfolio of people, ideas, events, sponsorships, and philanthropy through a similar lens: what could become a repeatable content franchise that audiences recognise and return to? And how can we think dynamically about how we use and engage with content from each of these sources? Moving from a shotgun approach for social to a more **programmatic, franchise-based model** allows you to work with social channels to create brand meaning and follower-ship, rather than relying on the hit-and-miss of one-off posts and the algorithm. ## Creating Dynamic Systems From a visual perspective, the franchises you create should not be cookie-cutter replicas of each other. Your identity systems need a strong and purposeful foundation of **typography** and **colour** that can flex to support a broad content platform, from the serious and analytical to the playful and humorous. Take **The Guardian**, for example, which has a distinct typographic family and colour palette, yet allows for a vast array of photographic and illustrative imagery, including political cartoons. It also flexes how these are used across channels, including Instagram and YouTube. Contrast the formal structure of the print and digital edition of the paper with the street voice of Instagram. This is exactly what modern brands need: a consistent core identity that can shift tone and format by channel and moment. In comparison, **Liquid Death’s** identity is rooted in character versus the more traditional graphic guidelines. While a newer, more niche brand, it understands that “principles,” not rules, give it the flexibility and creativity to build its tribe. In each case, a strong core identity supports diverse content series, rather than constraining them. ## Now What? It can be challenging for traditional brands to pivot how they think and act with their identity; they often have large management structures that resist newer, more reactive media models and antiquated design systems. The skills and aptitudes required to manage a brand are quite different from those needed to create it. To start, marketers should ask themselves clear questions from a content and design perspective: ### Content - Where and with whom is the brand driving engagement? - What can we learn from others inside and outside of the category? - What if we did the opposite of our competitors? - Can we dig deeper into a topic to broaden the range? - How might we atomise components for quick consumption? We’d also recommend carving out specific time to continually play and experiment with new topics and elements to gauge interest. ### Design - Are we leading or following? For example, if everyone in the category is, say, blue, do we break through by using a different colour? - Does our logo and system, or how we are using these elements, allow us to be alive in culture? What elements and rules need to change? - Where can we introduce new tools and automation to free up thinking time, and speed execution? The shift may require a rebalancing of power, from linear campaign planning and management to zig-zagging dynamic content creation, and from a primary focus on “what we look like” to “how we behave and enable others to create.” But from this shift, we can usher in a new era of iconic design built for cross-platform success. *To see the brands doing it right, see the winners of The Brand Impact Awards 2025.*]]></description> <author>contact@marketingremotejobs.app (MarketingRemoteJobs.app)</author> <category>branding</category> <category>contentstrategy</category> <category>marketing</category> <category>digitaltransformation</category> <category>engagement</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/amJ6a2oQYgz3b4S2GG8Jdh-1280-80.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[The Illusion of Buying a Better Life: Why High-Priced Retreats Like Meghan Markle's Can't Deliver on Their Promises]]></title> <link>https://www.marketingremotejobs.app/article/the-illusion-of-buying-a-better-life-why-high-priced-retreats-like-meghan-markles-cant-deliver-on-their-promises</link> <guid>the-illusion-of-buying-a-better-life-why-high-priced-retreats-like-meghan-markles-cant-deliver-on-their-promises</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 14 Apr 2026 08:00:26 GMT</pubDate> <description>< For busy women, retreats can be a sanctuary – so if you’re attending this event because you had a spare $2699 and wanted a weekend away with your friends close by to your mansion in the Eastern Suburbs … well then, go off, queen! However, if you’re drawn to the allure of these glossy individuals and this lifestyle … you’re better off watching *Selling Sunset* on Netflix. Retreats such as **“Her Best Life”** capitalise on the gap between aspiration and reality. They employ therapy-adjacent Orwellian newspeak in the form of buzzwords such as **“vulnerable”**, **“raw”** and **“messy”**.

Will Meghan air more dirty laundry about the royal family or cover scorched earth with Spotify? All signs point to no … which is a shame because that would be a sound healing experience.
