(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nTopgolf's new CEO identified retail media and brand licensing as significant growth opportunities beyond the company's core entertainment venue business, per Modern Retail, signaling a strategic expansion into ancillary revenue channels.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you own a owned, high-intent venue or community, retail media and licensing are not brand extensions — they're margin multiplication. Topgolf's new CEO is not creating new products. They're monetizing the existing customer connection. Identify what third-party brands want access to your audience for. Run a pilot: one brand, one month, measurable placement or co-marketing. If conversion or engagement lifts 15%+ for the partner, expand. For licensing, start with one complementary category and one partner. Let them build it; you take the royalty.\nWhat that means for you: Most venue-based or community-led brands leave money on the table. They focus on the core business and ignore the asset underneath — the customer data and attention. Topgolf has a new CEO who sees it. If you own a place where people gather — a store, a class, a membership, a team — you have a retail media business and a licensing business you're not running. That's the move this week: write down three brands that would displace for access to your audience. Call one. Propose a pilot.\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 — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/marketing/topgolf-hasnt-done-much-retail-media-licensing-its-new-ceo-wants-to-change-that/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
