(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nJohnsonville ran a campaign putting sausage on the ballot to stand out during the high-clutter election ad period, per Marketing Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): during high-noise media periods (election season, holiday crush, back-to-school peak), the winning ads are the ones that acknowledge the noise and poke fun at it instead of adding to it. Johnsonville didn't sell sausage; it gave voters permission to think about something else. For your brand: in congested seasons, run one tonal, non-salesy ad that references the cultural moment. It costs less to produce, earns more earned media, and cuts through because it's not trying to sell.\nWhat that means for you: during high-noise media periods (election season, holiday crush, back-to-school peak), the winning ads are the ones that acknowledge the noise and poke fun at it instead of adding to it. Johnsonville didn't sell sausage; it gave voters permission to think about something else. For your brand: in congested seasons, run one tonal, non-salesy ad that references the cultural moment. It costs less to produce, earns more earned media, and cuts through because it's not trying to sell.\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/johnsonville-puts-sausage-on-the-ballot-to-cut-through-election-ads/829950/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
