(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nMike's Hot Honey ran a soccer-themed campaign to drive experimentation with the brand during a high-attention sports moment, tapping into cultural conversation around the sport.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): run a limited campaign tied to a major sports event (World Cup, Euros, Olympics, Finals) that your core buyer already watches. You do not need to advertise during the game — you need to own one small moment (a TikTok creator unpacking the product, a limited bundle, a single retailer promotion). The event does the reaching; you do the sampling. For a CPG brand: identify the next major sports event your core demo watches (check Reddit and TikTok conversation volume). Reserve shelf space or a bundled SKU for 30 days before the event. Run a single creator partnership: creator + your product + event color or branding. Ship 48 hours before the event starts. The trial happens during the moment when that audience is most available.\nWhat that means for you: run a limited campaign tied to a major sports event (World Cup, Euros, Olympics, Finals) that your core buyer already watches. You do not need to advertise during the game — you need to own one small moment (a TikTok creator unpacking the product, a limited bundle, a single retailer promotion).

The trial happens during the moment when that audience is most available.\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/mikes-hot-honey-spurs-experimentation-with-soccer-infused-campaign/824276/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
