Another celeb promo for McDonald's, and perfectly timed to coordinate with rise of the Queen of the Commercial Holiday Season. Are you planning on ordering from the Mariah Menu?
Hello!
This will be a shorter newsletter than most. I'm busy working on some bigger content pieces while also settling into my new world as a self-employed marketer. It's a lot more paperwork than I anticipated!
Something you might have missed: I tweeted a list of marketing tools that let you take advantage of the benefits of artificial intelligence. I also previously published an article on the variety of ways that AI-powered tech is already making waves for marketing.
And a lot of others in the online marketing community have been creating and sharing incredible work, so make sure to scan through this issue to check it out.

BTS x Hyundai? Tony Hawk x MasterClass? T Swift & Keds? Brands ❤️ Celebs!

I've been seeing celeb after celeb pop up with unexpected brand partnerships, and so I decided to start highlighting some of the more interesting recent ones I've seen.
This will be a series, but I figured I'd kick this off after last week's Tim Hortons announcement of the new Timbiebs menu item and McDonald's big win with Mariah Carey.
Check this out, and let me know your favorite brand-celeb partnership of 2021 so it can be featured later in this series!
Which brand-celeb partnerships did I highlight this time? >>
That's it for now!
Next newsletter, I'll be sharing a list of acquisition channels other than FB and Google that you can try out. I'll also be talking about how to get better analytics for your social media and acquisition channels.
Until next time!
