Marketing Dive reports Target is building its new campaign around its design legacy (the Michael Graves and Missoni era), with creator partnerships and in-person activations, just as its results start to improve. It's a bet that brand story beats another discount push. Have you seen a heritage or nostalgia campaign move a number for a client, or does that only work once the business is already recovering? — Target's new campaign puts design legacy at center of marketing Marketing Dive — Chris Kelly https://www.marketingdive.com/news/targets-new-campaign-puts-design-legacy-at-center-of-marketing/831116/

As a designer, I gotta love this one. Heritage works when there's a real archive behind it, and Target's designer collaborations are exactly that. The risk is when nostalgia replaces a reason to buy today.
