论整活儿，这届网友必须有发言权。 拿惯例的春节营销来说，就着马年，网友在线喊话伊利和蒙牛，点名要让马伊琍来代言。给伊利拟出的 slogan是"我是马伊琍，马年喝伊利"，转头又建议蒙牛签下马伊琍，slogan则是"伊琍（伊利）都说蒙牛 好"。或许是因为脑洞大得恰到好处，伊利很"听劝"，顺势签下了马伊琍，将网友的脑洞变成了马年春 节的营销实景。 不只网友，品牌们也自发地搞起了抽象。 跳出传统营销框架的品牌们，试图以荒诞、无厘头的画风抢占用户注意力。从春节档的流量炸场到日常 营销的持续破圈，抽象早已不是小众玩法，而是成为品牌对话年轻群体的主流语言之一。 几乎同期，老牌牛奶食品品牌李子园，尝试挣脱"登味饮品"的刻板标签，用一场"粉色液体风暴"席卷全 网。 这次李子园选择不走常规温情怀旧路线，而是融入嘻哈元素，邀请60多岁出道的说唱"法姥"桂香阿姨， 推出了一首说唱MV。MV中，桂香阿姨唱着"我和姊妹们一起喝点粉色的液体，一种甜甜的液体，一种 粉色的液体"，直白的歌词搭配上头的旋律，网友评价："从'质疑'到'成为'，只需将视频循环3次"。 还有早已刻入大众记忆、主打"年轻态"的脑白金。 这个深耕中老年市场的营养品品牌， ...

Core Viewpoint - The removal of founder Chai Xiu from her managerial positions marks a significant transition for Miaokelando into a new era under Mengniu's influence, indicating a shift towards professional management and a focus on balanced business development [3][12]. Management Changes - On January 25, Miaokelando announced that Chai Xiu was removed from her roles as Vice Chairman, General Manager, and legal representative, retaining only her position as a board member.
