The brief
Morgan Stewart and Paige Paul begin with online judgment and the pressure to perform a legible personality, then turn to the harder question: how can a public image remain authentic as it becomes a business?
Paige traces Dairy Boy to her dissatisfaction with influencer culture, describing a brand built from nostalgia, personal experience, and products meant to create an emotional connection.
