The best branded content shouldn't feel like an ad.⁠
⁠
's rule is simple: people follow him to laugh, not to watch a commercial.⁠ ⁠
⁠
If the collab isn't funny, it flops. And it won't get the same reach his original content does, no matter how big the brand is.⁠⁠
⁠
What this means for brands:⁠
⁠
✅ Let the creator's humor and voice lead, not the product⁠
✅ Build around the content people already love instead of a script⁠
✅ Trust that relatability beats a hard sell every time⁠⁠
⁠
Make it funny and relatable first, then work the product in. That's the difference between a partnership and a commercial.

That's not a stunt. That's the brand.⁠

The World Cup gave us some of the best brand x creator moments we’ve seen at a sporting event.

Here are the ones that stood out:

✅ A hair influencer from Charleston got flooded with comments saying she looked like Haaland. Brands signed her within days, and one activation built around her hit 126M views, outperforming every official sponsor that week

✅ embedded local food creators inside host city venues to cover stadium-specific dishes which was a masterclass in using an unexpected niche to show up authentically inside a massive cultural moment

✅ built a six-week creator-led movement around a real stat, partnered with Mia Hamm, and used their official sponsorship to say something that mattered

✅ launched a $100k fund to expense your matchday bar tab and turned every bar in America into a World Cup venue. No stadium placement or tickets required.

The Women’s World Cup is next, and the cultural moment might be even bigger. The time to start planning is now. 👀
