During the WNBA draft, #1 pick Caitlin Clark walks off stage and the first person she hugs is… JAKE FROM STATE FARM I have so many questions: 🏀 Are they actually really good friends? 🏀 Did State Farm pay for this? 🏀 Is he from Iowa? But my takeaway from this moment? Having a likeable face of your brand is SO important. The #1 draft pick gets off the stage and runs up to a BRAND! Before she even hugged her parents! Yes, you can always sponsor a draft, but making your brand a key part of the first pick's celebration? Are you kidding?!? It's too good. Did anyone else see this? What did you think of this seemingly genuine moment between Caitlin and Jake? Bonus fun branding update: Caitlin Clark is the first WNBA player ever to partner with Prada! They crushed her draft outfit. #brandmarketing #branding #partnerships #sportsmarketing

In the arena of basketball and sneaker culture, Michael Jordan and the Air Jordan series broke boundaries and set new trends. 🏀👟 The story began with the Air Jordan 1s, known for their striking team colors. Contrary to popular myth, MJ never joked about looking like a clown; instead, the bold design was a point of contention with NBA dress codes, leading to a legendary marketing story. 🚫🤡 The Air Jordan III, not just any sneaker, introduced luxury to the basketball court with its use of premium materials like elephant print leather, making a statement that sneakers could be both stylish and functional. 🐘✨ The saga of the Air Jordan XI is a true testament to MJ's influence; he wore them in the 1995 NBA Playoffs before their official release, defying expectations and setting a trend for pre-release hype. 🌟👀 Correcting these legends shows the power of innovation and personality in shaping sneaker history. Michael Jordan wasn't just a trendsetter; he was a trailblazer who pushed boundaries, blending performance with unprecedented style. Each chapter in the Air Jordan story not only highlights a leap in sneaker design but also celebrates the spirit of daring to be different. 🌟🔥 Embracing the essence of these moments teaches us that pioneering can redefine the game, both on and off the court.

Caitlin Clark and the Larry Bird / Magic Johnson Parallels With all the Caitlin Clark noise around her signature shoe deal with Nike (high), her starting WNBA pay (low) and how it compares to both women of color as well as NBA counterparts, I could not help but think of the parallels to the NBA 40 years ago. Did you know the NBA use to be on tape delay and you could not watch a live game? That was not that long ago. Larry and Magic brought enough demand from customers that the NBA was able to work a tv deal that essentially changed the future of the league. This is what Caitlin Clark has and will do. Ticket sales going through the roof for her games (home and away), shoe/jersey sales and more eyeballs watching the WNBA than ever before. So where do women of color fit in this changing landscape given 70% of the league is not white? The next wave coming in (example Michael Jordan following Larry/Magic). This may be JuJu from USC or a teenager getting ready to break through. Change is coming and Caitlin Clark is only the beginning.

More from the Super Bowl. Kristin Juszczyk, the creator of THOSE jackets that have been launched into the spotlight by Brittany Mahomes, Taylor Swift, Taylor Lautner, Simon Biles and others is telling her story this Super Bowl week. This time she sat down with The Today Show. Catapulted by sports, Kristin's story has three key points that anyone can take away regardless of the industry. 1. An Overnight Success takes Years to Create. Taylor Swift's jacket was far from her first creation. She has "been at this for years" and after all the hard work was in great position to maximize this sudden spotlight. 2. Push Beyond Your Comfort Zone. Kristin decided this year to create not just one unique item for herself, but also an item for someone else each week. Thus, spreading the word and sharing her work. Stepping outside of the comfort zone to share your creations can be quite difficult. The sheer thought of "what someone might think" is enough to paralyze momentum and potential growth of many great ideas. 3. Start with Doing Something you Enjoy. "I couldn't find things I wanted to wear, so I decided to make my own." And she made these items for herself because they were things she liked. She didn't try to create something Simone Biles or Taylor Swift would love, she created pieces she loved. And that passion, style, and confidence aids the appeal to others. Sports Business Classes - - Not much to answer right or debate here, rather this is an opportunity to think as a creator. Don't create to try and make others happy - create for yourself. Success will follow. A couple additional resources on Creators.
