Abercrombie’s partnership with the NFL shows how small steps can grow into big wins - starting with team merchandise, expanding to player collaborations, and ultimately leading to an official league sponsorship.

The key takeaway? Consistency, listening to customer demand, and meeting fans where they are. By building credibility step by step, Abercrombie turned a niche idea into a major growth opportunity.

For small businesses, the lesson is clear: start with manageable moves, pay attention to what resonates, and build momentum over time. Big partnerships and growth often come from steady, intentional steps.

Streaming platforms like Comcast’s Universal Ads, Roku, and Channel 4 are rolling out AI-powered tools to make commercials more affordable and accessible for small and mid-sized businesses.

These platforms are inspired by the success of Meta and Google, aiming to attract advertisers who never considered TV before. From lowering production costs to offering precise audience targeting, the TV industry is betting that AI will open the door to a wave of new advertisers.  

As connected-TV ad spending grows, traditional broadcast continues to decline, making innovation in this space critical for media companies.

Ask the Right Questions

Sometimes the strongest marketing move isn’t changing your message but reframing it. Nike’s shift from “Just Do It” to “Why Do It?” shows why brands must evolve to stay relevant.

The lesson is that great campaigns do more than tell people what to do. They tap into deeper motivations, meet audiences where they are, and speak to the challenges they face. When a message reflects the current mindset of your customers, it does more than inspire, it connects.  

For any business, big or small, it is worth asking if your message answers both the what and the why for your audience.
