(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nJAMS, a food and beverage brand, named Pat McAfee as co-owner in his first F&B venture, per PRNewswire. McAfee's ownership stake is positioned to fuel the brand's next growth phase.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): instead of paying a celebrity for one campaign, offer equity stake and let them own the upside. McAfee will post about JAMS on his podcast, in his content, and to his audience for the next three years because he profits from the business. That's worth more than a $500k influencer deal. This week: if you have a product and a relevant micro-celebrity (podcaster, athlete, creator) in your lane, model the equity offer before you model the endorsement fee.\nWhat that means for you: Equity partnerships are how challenger brands get distribution that costs less than media. McAfee's not an influencer — he's a stakeholder now. His audience hears that differently. The unglamorous part: you have to actually close the deal with a lawyer and accountant, and you have to trust the celebrity not to tank the brand. But if you pick right, it scales faster than any paid campaign.\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 — PRNewswire: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/jams-names-pat-mcafee-co-owner-302806688.html.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
