(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nKraft Heinz and Disney announced a long-term strategic marketing partnership, per Marketing Dive, integrating entertainment IP into Kraft's CPG portfolio and co-marketing framework.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): bundle your physical product with an IP or brand that already owns your customer's attention. Kraft didn't license Mickey one time — it locked Disney into recurring co-marketing. If you own a beverage, beauty, or snack brand, identify one entertainment property or lifestyle brand your customers already consume (Netflix, Sneaker communities, Sports leagues), and structure a *multi-drop* partnership, not a single SKU. The retailer will give you better placement if you can prove the IP pulls volume across multiple quarters.\nWhat that means for you: Most product founders see licensing as a packaging stunt. Kraft saw it as distribution infrastructure. They didn't just slap a character on a can and hope retail buyers noticed — they built a formal partnership so Disney has skin in the game and will promote it too. That's the difference between a novelty drop and a genuine shelf-expansion play. This week: audit one IP your customers already engage with monthly, and sketch out what a *three-quarter* co-op plan looks like, not a one-shot.\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/kraft-heinz-disney-enter-long-term-strategic-marketing-partnership/825692/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you? Your logo, your products, your own private room, priced and ready, in about five minutes.
