(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Digiday, Carhartt aligned with the NFL by sponsoring the tradespeople building Highmark Stadium, rather than signing athletes or teams directly.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): do not bid against Nike for an athlete. Find the infrastructure or supporting cast behind the event your audience cares about. Carhartt's buyer already wears Carhartt to work; the brand just made the connection visible by showing up where Carhartt gear is already in use. Run this by identifying the construction, catering, or logistics vendors for events your audience attends (music festivals, sports, conference build-outs). Sponsor the vendors, not the headliners.
