(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nAcademy Sports + Outdoors launched Academy Retail Media, enabling brands to advertise to Academy's customer base and using the retailer's omnichannel data to target shoppers both in-store and online.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if your brand is already in Academy doors, you now have a first-party data channel to remarket to Academy shoppers without spending on Amazon or Facebook. The play: audit your current Academy customer and ask whether they are also buying from you outside Academy. If yes, launch a test campaign on Academy Retail Media to recapture that customer at a lower CAC than you would pay on external platforms. For brands not yet in Academy, this signals that Academy is building media moat—being in Academy doors now means access to a proprietary audience later.\nWhat that means for you: if your brand is already in Academy doors, you now have a first-party data channel to remarket to Academy shoppers without spending on Amazon or Facebook.

If yes, launch a test campaign on Academy Retail Media to recapture that customer at a lower CAC than you would pay on external platforms. For brands not yet in Academy, this signals that Academy is building media moat—being in Academy doors now means access to a proprietary audience later.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Yahoo Finance: https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/academy-sports-outdoors-advances-omnichannel-130500143.html.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
