The marketing floor of Aurelle headquarters was unusually quiet for the middle of the afternoon. Most of the work that mattered had already been finished hours earlier. The photography team had delivered the final teaser image before noon, and the marketing department had spent the rest of the day preparing its controlled release across several platforms.
Large digital screens covered one wall of the conference room. Each displayed the same image from a slightly different format—vertical for social media, horizontal for magazine spreads, and a cropped version designed for fashion blogs that preferred tighter compositions.
Wendy Collins stood near the center of the room, studying the largest display.
