(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nLands' End and Modelo are both hiking marketing spend on college football this fall, viewing game days as high-intent audience moments for brand discovery and engagement, per Modern Retail and Marketing Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): college football audiences are older and wealthier than general TikTok/Instagram users, and they have cleared the calendar — they are not multitasking. A stadium activation or a locker-room sponsorship reaches someone in a high-attention, high-emotion state. The cost is higher per impression, but the attention density is higher too. If your product is luxury, heritage, or aspirational, college football is cheaper per engaged impression than Instagram ads because you are not competing in the feed.\nWhat that means for you: For years, college sports felt too expensive and too 'traditional' for emerging brands. That era is over. The platforms these brands are choosing (Lands' End with game-day presence, Modelo with platform investment) suggest that the audience value has caught up. If you have a product that skews male or affluent, college football is back in play. The cost barrier is real, but so is the alternative: fighting for attention in an ad-saturated social feed.\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 — Modern Retail, Marketing Dive: https://www.modernretail.co/marketing/why-lands-end-is-showing-up-at-college-football-game-days-this-fall/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
