(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nModern Retail documented UrbanStems, H&M, Chobani, and Teleties refining their partnership strategies to match audiences, drive cultural relevance, and unlock new growth vectors.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): partnerships win when both brands are reaching for the same customer at different moments in her journey. Do not partner based on category adjacency; partner based on customer stage. The play: map your top 500 repeat customers, identify the three non-competing brands they also buy from (via social follow, app data, or survey), reach out to those brands with shared audience data, and propose a co-email or TikTok takeover where each brand reaches the other's list. UrbanStems' genius is she knows a woman who buys flowers also buys wellness, events, and gifts — so she partners with those brands, not other florists.\nWhat that means for you: Most brand partnerships are lazy — 'we are both cool, let's do a drop together.' The real move is audience precision. If Chobani partners with Peloton, it is not because they're adjacent categories; it's because the Peloton customer IS the Chobani customer at the moment she's thinking about recovery and nutrition. The brands documented in the Modern Retail piece are doing something sharper: they're mapping the customer journey across *their* touchpoints and finding brands that own other moments in that journey. If you can name five other brands your customer buys from in a given quarter, you have a partnership target list.\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/how-hm-chobani-urbanstems-and-teleties-are-refining-their-partnership-strategies/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
