This isn’t just about football—it’s a massive marketing event. And this year’s ads proved that brands winning in 2025 aren’t just running commercials—they’re running full-scale multi-platform campaigns.

In this episode of Rocky Mountain Marketing, I break down how brands like OpenAI, Carl’s Jr., and Meta used influencer marketing, nostalgia, and strategic calls to action to get the most out of their investments—and how small businesses can apply the same tactics.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why marketing needs to start before launch day: The best brands build hype early, and you should too.
• How influencer marketing works (even without influencers): Your network is your best asset—use it to spread your message.
• The power of nostalgia in branding: People love familiarity, so reviving past content can spark engagement.
• How to make your marketing feel human: Don’t just list features—tell a compelling story that connects with your audience.
• The importance of a strong call to action: If you’re not giving your audience a reason to act, you’re losing business.
