The ads that I am getting daily for adult diapers. I feel very attacked by the frequency and the profiling of these images in my feed.

Q&A with Camille Safadi

May 8, 2026

Camille Safadi’s approach is a bit different. Find what resonates, double down on it, and evolve it instead of starting from scratch. Because when something already works, the smartest move isn’t to replace it. It’s to build on it. Simple. But most brands still get it wrong.
