Everyone assumes the Super Bowl is strictly for consumer giants with massive ad budgets, but that mindset is a huge missed opportunity for B2B marketers. Jay Schwedelson teams up with Daniel Murray to break down exactly how boring brands can ride the wave of the biggest cultural event of the year without spending a dime on commercials. They share specific keywords that trigger higher open rates during game week and explain why hyper-targeting the cities of the competing teams is the smartest play you can make.
