(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nDove Men+Care ran a reformulation campaign using Strava and social media to amplify the product change and drive trial among active consumers, per Marketing Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if your product touches a specific behavior (workout, meal prep, sleep, commute), identify the native app or platform where that behavior is logged. Run a soft-launch campaign on that platform before paid social. Measure engagement and click-through on the native app. The traffic from Strava to your site will show lower CAC and higher conversion than cold paid ads because you're interrupting an intent moment, not a scroll moment. Test with a single platform cohort (Strava users only) vs. your standard paid social cohort for 30 days.\nWhat that means for you: Dove didn't start with Instagram. They started on Strava, where athletes are already thinking about recovery and care. That's the unglamorous part: finding the second-order app where your buyer lives. The lift comes because the platform is pre-qualified intent, not demographic targeting. Run this tactic on one vertical app (Peloton, Fitbit, Whoop, MyFitnessPal, whatever fits your category) and measure CAC vs. your paid social baseline.\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 — Marketing Dive: https://www.marketingdive.com/news/dove-mencare-takes-to-strava-and-social-media-to-promote-reformulation/824351/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
