I suggested "accepted" because "assumé" does not always translate as "assumed" [in fact I think "assumed is unsuitable here :-)]. Please see Collins Robert if you have a copy!
Glad it has helped you!

It may be, but you're the one doing the translation and much depend on the whole tone you are giving this marketing text :-)

Hi
I have just had a thought...
this is a conscious return to childhood, i.e. done willingly:-0
I was going to suggest "have no qualms about..." but I think your "unashamedly" covers it pretty well.

Grading comment
also thanks to all who battled with 'assumé' (Mathews' embrace, etc.) vey helpful
Notes to answerer
Asker: Liz, very thorough, thank you, very helpful. Helen this is no treatise, mere marketing.
Asker: I also assumed that assumed is a 'faux ami' ! is 'unashamed' going too far?
Asker: Hi Liz just to say that I greatly respect your contributions - it is hard to award points fairly sometimes (as today)

Note to reference poster
Asker: Emma, the whole text is packed with refreshingly snappy modernspeak, thanks! here though I may have to stay bland and talk about return to childhood rather than regression - it is just a Park website after all!
Asker: I'd love to post a separate glossary entry for 'assumé' (had it in a smokers context & it provoked much debate), i.e. possible translations = to fully accept, come to terms with, embrace, take on board; adj. conscious, unashamed
