Hi! I had the best time live reacting to Super Bowl ads in the Link in Bio Discord with so many of you on Sunday. We all enjoyed the Lilo & Stitch ad, Rocket’s commercial into stadium moment, and Nike’s “You Can’t Win. So Win.” spot narrated by Doechii.

Today I’ll be covering:

  • Five post formats to try

  • The trap of “and then” stories

  • Should your brand engage with competitors?

  • My favorite paid social resource

  • Tapping into cultural trends in brand-safe ways

  • The artist I’m predicting J.Crew will work with next
