THE STRATEGY •  A Super Bowl spot costs $4.5M for 30

seconds, $150k per second •  Through a creative partnership using a hot

topic news story we would be able to organically get involved at a much lower indirect cost

RESULTS •  $40k donated to Fam 1st Foundation (Marshawn’s charity) •  Combined estimated reach of over 100M impressions through earned

media (sports publications and mainstream publications) •  Direct traffic doubled •  Google organic traffic doubled •  Facebook and Twitter traffic doubled •  Twitter activity leading up to and during the game garnered well over

4M impressions and thousands of favorites and RT’s

BE NIMBLE •  News and trending topics move at lightning speed •  Acting fast is risky, won’t always work but that’s ok •  Being ambitious and taking risks is part of our philosophy •  Nearly impossible to plan, but by keeping a close eye on

your surroundings you can create home run partnerships and campaigns
