Here's your host, Ryan Alford. Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the latest edition with the Radcast. It's Friday, February 9th, 2024. Also known as my sister, Stephanie's birthday. Happy birthday. Big sis. Stephanie is older today.

We won't name her age. she's older than me. Happy birthday, Stephanie, and hello, Chris Hansen. Hello, Ryan, Alfred. It's our weekly marketing and business news of the week here on Super Bowl Sunday weekend. Super Bowl, yeah. There's my best voice. That's all I had.

That's everything. All in one. The WWE's calling. I'm just getting my voice ready for it. That's probably your dream job being a ring announcer for W. Absolutely. I would take that job right now. As much as I don't like traveling, that might be the one thing I would travel for. They have to pay me enough for the kids and Nicole and I to like travel in an RV, like a rock star or something.

So I might have to get in the ring too. Sounds like a good retirement plan. I know. Those wrestlers are up there. They're doing that shit till they're like 60 or 70. I still got 15 good years in me. Come on. Let's do it.

Call me. Big enough, I can slam some dudes. I just don't really want to hurt my, throw my hip out or something. Nouncing sounds better. Nouncing is more of my speed. Pick up the phone. Call me. It is Super Bowl Sunday weekend, my friend.

I know you're in the vacay lounge in Miami. The Super Bowl's in Vegas this year. Not G. Vegas, where we are. But Vegas. What says you on the Super Bowl? You know me. I'm not the biggest sports fanatic. But I feel.

lame even saying this, but I'm interested to see the Kelsey Swift. Oh, boy. You already know something's coming. Yes. Is it a proposal? The NFL dream proposal? How great would that be? Dude.

Oh, I would love it. Can write a more fairy tale story. Hollywood made up story than that. No, I do think they are in love. I know love when I see it. And I think Taylor's laid it on old Travis. looks, he's got a twinkle in his eye. They're both mature.

They're like 30-somethings. I think they know how to make each other happy. Like, they're not like 20. So it looks real to me. I know there's all these conspiracy theories. We talked about this last week, but it's looking more real to me. I just think it's hard to fake that twinkle in your eye. And Travis has it.

It is. And speaking of the Super Bowl, I didn't want to pick up a few things. It is one of the biggest media. We're a marketing show, business show. So we got a few articles related. Some of these came in last minute, but they came in nonetheless. Variety.com. I like this.

It says Super Bowl advertisers poised to play things safe, fearing social media backlash. So in other words, we might have. That's the most interesting. Super Bowl marketing you've ever heard. It isn't always to push the envelope a little bit? I'm hoping that it just means they're not going to get the politics in her face. So I'd be fine with that. But look, this is what it's become.

And I don't know. We'll see how it plays out. You can be creative and edgy without being political. So playing it safe, you can take it a few different ways. Leave politics at the front door. But you can still be creative. We guess we're going to play it safe. We don't want to go on one side of the...

There's other ways. ways to go. It's called being creative. It's calling breaking through and it's calling how to having a key insight that drives a creative brief. Political is low-hanging fruit, I feel like, you know, like you said, it's a time to get creative, do some cool shit. Yes. Says while some commercials that run may shock or surprise, most will aim to comfort or amuse as marketers pull back on pushing the envelope. The bulk of the 70 or so Super Bowl commercials that run will rely heavily on celebrities, they always do. And a few of them will expand beyond the usual 30 or 60 second running time,

according to people familiar with the matter. Change of recent years with a big game featured commercials 90 seconds or even two minutes in length to encompass big concepts or cameos. So we'll see. It says life generally is more difficult for consumers. They are more constrained. And so they want their commercials to reflect that. We'll see. They're going to lean in nostalgia, humor, and emotion at the Super Bowl.

We'll see. We'll see how that goes. I'm okay with all that. It's going to be a million celebrities. It's the borrowed interest, baby. That's what that is. Number one. And just to be clear, this year, just like last year,

seven million big ones for a 30 second spot on CBS. Oh, wow. Seven million for 30 seconds. Do you have a captive audience. It is one of the places. I actually, as they own a digital agency, but still grew up on the analog side, TV, radio, outdoor. I still believe in both. I do think if you have the right product, the right brand, the super,

is worthy of the value that any other medium just about. If you have the right product, the right spot and commercial and white wave, the captive audience and attention and the broadness of the reach is so incredible. It can't actually be worth the money. It's just you have to get all of it right. So my doubt or disbelief in using this medium has. as less to do that I actually think the value is there because the audience reach is so large and so captive that I think it's actually worth it.

But I have Lev's faith that brands that should be there or there or that pull off the right execution. So it's like you've got to get all those variables right. So we'll see. And I thought this was interesting. It came from Digi Day. Go figure. It's a digital.

It's a Digi Day.com. They're one of the digital journals. So obviously their sake is and keep is in all digital mediums. But it was saying here's what a 7 million 30 second Super Bowl ad can purchase in digital media. That's what you could get spitting that same amount of money. 4.4 million clicks on Walmart Connect. That's Walmart's new pay ad. You can get 2.8 million clicks on TikTok's in feed ads.

So 2.8 million clicks. That's not impressions. That's clicks. If you got a good conversion rate, dude, that's checking the cash register right there. 140 million impressions on a streaming ad. Also known as programmatic for those in the know. 5.6 million clicks on Bumble. Bumble had advertising.

Yes. You get 5.6 million clicks on Bumble. So in that new lube. There you go. You see a vacant. CBD looms. Yeah. 10 million clicks and candy crush.

All this. All very diverse different audiences. Yes, very diverse audiences. But those are the things you could get in exchange for that. And look. Let me ask you. What would you do? It depends on the product.

It depends on the product and what you're selling. If you have a highly high converting. direct-to-consumer product that you feel good about the conversion rate, those digital placements make a lot of sense as far as, and you need sales. If you're playing the long game and you need mass brand awareness, then the Super Bowl can make a lot of sense. And not that it wouldn't drive sales.

It does because Super Bowl is one of those few things that has that could play on both hands. It does have a lift on immediate sales. but it does have a lasting impact on overall brand awareness. And if you have a mainstream product, nothing that drives me crazy. It's just like you've got this hyper-niche product that only like maybe one in 20 people would be interested in. You run that on Super Bowl.

That's digital, baby. That's what targeting's for. Unless you're trying to make a sell the company or something. But sometimes there's a lot of different strategic reasons for why you run the Super Bowl. And if it's a pure marketing play, it's generally reach overall reach. overall reach from the ads is the total volume of people watching and if you have a global product then look out global direct of consumer product okay

could be a winner do you watch the ads more intently when you do watch the Super Bowl for sure yeah everybody does some people have just the ad party you're watching I look at the ads you're paying attention you want to be entertained Yeah, I feel like that's part of the experience.

Exactly. It is important. And so it's one of the only things where the ads are part of the entertainment experience. What other instance, even with sports where, okay, it's live, like other places where TV still makes sense, to have the captive audience where they're actually looking forward to the advertisements, probably there's nothing else like it. I don't know anything else. People talk about the ads equally as much as the game.

Yes, sometimes more. Yeah. I think it will be a tie between the ads, the game, and Swifty. Transfect. They're becoming a heart this year. I want to, what's the over under on Kelsey Swifty mentions on the Super Bowl broadcast? 25. They're going to milk it.

They would. And I would milk it too if I was CBS. Just built the shit out of it. There's a lot of money to be made off those two. Yes. Exactly. That's the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, exactly.

Selling all those fries. There's special menu items, yeah. No affiliation, man. Yeah. Is it over now fries or whatever they were? We'll see. But those are some interesting numbers. So playing it's safe with the commercials,

supposedly, which I say Boutu, but we'll see. I think there'll be a lot of celebrities and a lot of hopefully regurgitated, hopefully not regurgitated concepts, but it's a fresh creativity. And then ultimately seven million big ones, lots of media

being spent, lots of dollars getting thrown around. So this is big news in cable media, sports media and everything. ESP and Fox and Warner Brothers are putting together a juggernaut sports streaming app.

Warner Bros. Discovery is preparing to launch a streaming service in partnership with ESPN, Disney, and Fox Sports. All three companies have agreed in principle to launch an as-yet unnamed standalone app. Three names I enjoy as yet unnamed. Of which all will share one third ownership this fall that streams a range of leagues and sports. Here's a big deal here. The only reason a lot of people still subscribe to cable TV in general or satellite or whatever you want to call it is sports, live sports.

So when ESPN, Fox Sports, TNT, TBS, that's the NCAA tournament, by the way. They also do all the NBA games. ESPN does all the college stuff, all college football, Fox Sports. has a ton of NFL, we're getting a lot of sports into one app and one streaming platform. So when you can get that, let's call it making things up,

don't know yet, $2,99 for that app, for all that live sports content, are you going to pay $80 to $120 for cable anymore? Fuck, no. Yeah, a lot of people aren't. I haven't used cable. Yeah. wait longer.

I only use it because of live sports and college football. Yeah. And I don't know. It's getting eerily interesting for where the cable dollars are going to go. And so you're going to see ads. You're going to see a lot of things follow this. But if I own DirecTV, if I owned Spectrum Charter, all these cable networks, Comcast,

this is a teetering on interesting territory. And yes, perhaps they will maintain rights to some of these channels as well. Maybe, but long term, maybe not. Then it gets interesting. And so what does that do with business and marketing? They've got everything to do with business and marketing. Because this is where ads will run. This is where awareness will be built on these platforms and on these streaming.

And the cord cutting barely. gets used anymore because it's just known that almost everyone's cut the court almost in some way with streaming and apps and otherwise. And you've got Netflix bringing on wrestling and other sports. All these streaming services are starting to bundle get together content. Both, I would say play shift content, which is a fancy word for saying, okay, I want to watch content, when, where, and how I want to, not on a schedule. and then live content like sports that you can get access to the same channel.

So it's getting interesting in the media world, my friend. Shaking it up. Yeah. And the as yet to be named, unnamed standalone app, that's what they should just call it. A-Y-U-S. As some word vomit, whoever wrote that. I'm like, huh. But yeah,

and all. Yes, as yet a name, standalone. That's just, okay, it's going to be its own app. Great. Perfect.

Here we go. We'll see big news in media and sports and whether or not cable will stick around. And if you want to learn from me directly, join my newsletter. Ryanofford.com backslash newsletter. Sign up. I give daily advice on marketing,

Here's an article of us from Marketing Dive, one of our favorite sources for marketing news. Gatorade fuels digital transformation with free membership platform. Gatorade has introduced Gatorade ID. It's real creative. A free membership platform aimed at personalizing user experiences. members gain access to exclusive benefits such as personalized equipment, limited edition releases, discounts, and more. In collaboration with DJ Khalid, or Kalid, Gatorade launched a collection available exclusively to Gatorade ID members for $140,

featuring a personalized bottle towel in Jordan brand hoodie. This initiative signifies Gatorade's digital transformation leveraging data. Athlete Insights and Digital Innovations to enhance its offerings. Let me tell you what this really is. This is how you get first-party data. So you sell Gatorade and you sell in the grocery stores. The relationship is owned with these third-party resellers of your product. And you have a hard way of having a direct one-to-one conversation with people drinking your product.

So that's the point of road launching this. You can call it digital transformation. You can call it innovations. Athlete Insights leveraging data. No. This is how you have one-to-one. one-to-one conversation in relationship with your own customers. You get them to sign up for your app.

You get them to sign up for your email list. And it's so they can have a one-to-one conversation and one-to-one relationships with people that are buying the product. And I think it's really smart. And I also think that people love the limited edition stuff, the Jordan hoodies, getting DJ Cow, do whatever the hell they're going to do. People like that kind of stuff. So I think they're off to the right foot here.

But that's what this is about. Gatorade wants a more direct conversation and leverage with their customers that are drinking their product, knowing that what 90% of Gatorade is drank and bought by third-party resellers. So that's what this is, my friend. Great analysis. That's what we do here. We have no, we're not trying to sell clicks here. We're just trying to help our sponsors.

Speaking of which. vacay, V-A-Y-C-A-Y, take-a-vacay.com. Premium plant-based products delivered right to your house. My favorite sleep gummies right next to me. It's funny, I don't even know how I stay. By osmosis, I sometimes get a little nodding off here on the episode. That's the power of the vacay sleep gummies. And all seriousness, I take half.

I'm thinking I'm like, I know my brain's working too hard. Take a little half of one of those babies. And I am, uh, Sian-R. city sleeping. You got disease. So give them a shout. Take a vacay.com, V-A-C-A-Y-C-A-Y, the only way to vacay.

Official sponsor of the Radcast. And we don't need no clicks. We need the vacay clicks. So get them a shout. Let's put him down someone else's clicks while bringing ours up, Chris. You know. Marketing 101. Marketing 101.

You can't put yourself up. without putting somebody down. That's what people think. But I do like to play by Gatorade. Smart. In other news, speaking of Netflix, first ad platform,

not first ad platform, but first global partner. That's on Netflix's a newly released ad platform. Expedia. Makes sense. Global travel provider. Expedia becomes Netflix inaugural

global advertising partner launching a multi-market campaign on the platform's ad-supported plan for 2024. The campaign will feature localized ads, tailored to language and culture in various countries. Additionally, Expedia will serve as an alpha measurement partner in the UK and Brazil, alpha measurement partner. You can't just call them one of the first. They're the alpha, alpha measurement partner. I want to be the Omega measurement partner. This partnership highlights brands, confidence, and Netflix's ad-supported tier,

leveraging its global reach and ability to target audiences amid declining linear TV consumption. That's what we were just talking about. People watch it win and where the how they want to and not necessarily watching Judge Judy at 9 a.m. I hope not. I hope those days are behind us. I'm watching Judge Judy when I'm winning where I want to.

When after I get the DVR, the old DVR powered up, does that reruns. I know you love Judge Judy. I'll tell you what, I don't watch Judge Judy, but I watch the hell out of some Dateline. Man, Cole and I watch some Dateline. And I put Nicole in there because she's usually sitting next to me, but I'm usually controlling it. If there's nothing else on, if there's not like a live sport that I'm going to watch, I'm watching some reruns of Dateline. I don't know why.

It's the murder mystery. Yeah, it gets to be every time. Dude, people bring up to you all the time. It's my name because Chris Hansen because to catch your predator. Exactly. Maybe that's why I like it so much. You're like, oh, that dude from Dateline.

Yeah, it's my own goal. It's not. But I'm like, yeah. That's my godfather. I was named after my godfather. Chris Hanson. All heroes don't wear capes. Chris Hanson, circa 2000s.

He was ahead of the game. helping out the world. You could totally screw with that. You should. I figure, not a bad affiliation. He's catching bad guys.

Yeah. But man, there's something, and I'll be watching the day line and it'll feel eerily familiar. And I'll get like halfway through, like, oh,

I've seen this one. I'm like, shit, I already know what happens. I'll remember the end, but I can't, but the beginning I've watched 30 minutes out. I'm like,

oh, this is a really good one. I really like this. And then I'm like, it's starting to feel familiar. Maybe it's just because a lot of the cases are this way. And then there'll be like a scene that triggers like in my deep dark memory. I'm like, oh, I know exactly what happens. And I'm like, damn it.

Because there's like hundreds of these things. And there's a million that I haven't seen. So I get a little disappointed if I waste like 30 minutes watching one that I've seen before. You feel that way. And everybody's nodding right now. I'm going, yeah, I know. That are they have the same short term, medium term, medium term, memory issues that I do.

But it's like sad. Like I'm watching it and I feel like it's not real. I'm like this shit really happened. These people really did this to one another. Like when you think about it, I can kind of get depressed. I'm like, this is what people do to one on. They're like, he really killed her.

And you know what happens. I'm not naive. But it's like, I don't know. People are fucked up. times ignorance is bliss i do i it's reminds i'm like i need to just go back into my zone of pretending this wasn't real it was just entertainment but nonetheless back to netflix the point there was people watch things when they want to watch it and not necessarily at apm we've got dateline who cares i'm going to record it and watch it when i want to watch it

and what's interesting that with these streaming platforms have figured out they don't really let you fast forward through the commercials now When I DVR it on my YouTube TV app, I can actually fast forward through all the commercials. And yes, I'm in advertising. But yes, I also fast forward commercials that are typically targeted towards women. I don't know what that says about my viewing habits. I can only watch so many, I don't know, lifetime promotions. There's a lot of like lifetime promotion on Dateline.

I sometimes get a little like self-conscious about it. it makes sense women love murder they love life mystery yeah yeah but anyway netflix huge ginormous company with a huge ad platform and expedia being a global company is going to take advantage of that reach and see how it goes duncan one of my favorite places a little extra at duncan that was my go-to in new york to i realized that's why i gained 10 pounds so i had to cut that back a little bit. I'm like, I'm walking in Manhattan every day. I'm walking a mile. Like every day. I'm like, and I'm working on it. I'm like, why am I gaining weight? And it was the 900 calories and the extra extra Dunkin, Duncan. Yeah, I didn't eat

the, I call it Dunkings. I wouldn't even eat donuts. But anyway, they're, they get a new campaign. These are fun with Ben Affleck. And it could be headed to the Super Bowl. It means it is, folks. This comes to us also for marketing dive. premiered a new ad title Pop Star during the Grammys, featuring brand ambassador. Yes, he is, also known as Batman. Ben Affleck contemplating a career as a pop star in response to memes from his appearance at the Grammys.

The ad showcases Affleck's humorous journey to becoming a pop star, including interactions with industry professionals and TikTok star. stars. Speculation suggests the campaign may continue with a Super Bowl spot indicated by a to be continued title at the end of the ad. I love me some good to be continues. That's a good moniker that isn't used as much anymore. It's like back to the future.

To be continued. Doc. Yeah. Anyway, same thing with commercials. You got to, hey, suspense. It's a cliffhanger. It's a cliffhanger. You want to know what happens?

If you want to have it was an Affleck, you got to watch Super Bowl. So we'll see. I like Ben Affleck now. I like him maybe better when he drank, but that's okay. Not because I encourage his drinking or wanted him to be unhealthy. I don't know. I liked the movies he was doing then. It was more he was just busier, it seemed like.

And I like his movies. So it's not because he was drinking. But it just seemed to be like when he worked more. I do seeing him in Jen. His wife, also a global icon, it seemed to be bickering sometimes when he's sober. Those videos of him, like, opening the car door, have you seen that?

He, like, slams it. Which anyone who ever has been in a relationship can relate with that. Oh, yeah. Get in the car. I've been that guy before. And it's always some stupid fight where you're just like, fuck. I'd never be physical, but I'll slam this door. Hey man, they got history on an awful long time.

I was like 12. I dated the first time, I think. I just can't see a world where that lasts forever. I don't know. But maybe it does. Maybe they're just destined to make it. Yeah. We'll see.

But I do like him in the Dunkin's commercial. So look out for that on the Super Bowl. We do have a few news and notes. Get the back button, which I recommend you do. Derek Fay, really cool guy. really successful, gives you the playbook. If you really pay attention to all the guests, we'll teach you to be successful, a millionaire,

if you run a company, you've got multiple employees, you don't want to miss this. It's about the three R's, retention, recruitment, and revenue. Tanner Gardner talks about a new program that's, I'm going to call it a, it's not a loophole because it's readily available, but a benefit and a health plan that you can add to your employee plan that will save you both money and give your employee benefits. That's payoff. But there's other insights and new tips around those three R's. next Tuesday. Same bad time, same bat channel.

Tourist Day or Super Bowl Sunday, whichever one you want to celebrate. I'll personally be inventing some new dips for my Buffalo wings. Whatever that might be.

I'll mix and match mine. What's your go-to? What's the number one snack for a Super Bowl Sunday for Chris Hanson? If you could choose it, you're going to a party and you're like, dang, I wish they'd have this. I'm simple. I just want to say like a hamburger. Oh, a hamburger? You don't want like a, I don't know, it looks like some kind of funky dip or something.

Honestly, some queso bean dip or something. Oh, there we go. Now we're talking. Something that I don't. Yeah. So it's like Thanksgiving. It's about the sides, right? It is like that.

You never have quite, I will say this. I'll snack so much. The game starts at six. You start snacking at four. So like I get full before the game starts with like chips and all this stuff. And then when the game's over, I'm like, I didn't really feel like I ate a meal. And you watch it down with a steak or a hot dog or something. A bunch of all the dips, the fruit tray.

And you didn't really have a main course. It was like you had 17 appetizers. Oh, the plight of Super Bowl Sunday. So, yes. And next week, this will happen before our next episode. It's Valentine's Day on the 14th. If you needed a reason or a date to celebrate that loved one. And Ryan doesn't need a date.

to celebrate Nicole. He loves her every day and he didn't need the valentines to remind him. But in all seriousness, this is Valentine's that you. Don't forget, this is your reminder. Get those flowers or get those dinner

reservations because they aren't taking them on the 13th, baby. They're all filled up. They're playing ahead, bro. Chris, stuff you don't have to worry about being single and ready to mingle down there in Miami. Yeah, but

At the doggie bakery, they've got those heart-shaped cookies and stuff. I'll get him something. Exactly. Cool, man, that's all we got for our Super Bowl weekend.

Marketing Edition here, the Radcast. Any final words? I'm pumped for these these ads I mentioned what we see and I'm sure we'll dive into it next week Chiefs or 49ers who you got Chief Yeah it's hard to fight
