The Army were major sponsors of the UFL last year, but their marketing team determined it did not get them a single recruit.

 


Many reasons for this that have nothing to do with football or marketing.

I can't imagine spring football was getting a TON of eyeballs in the 18-25 year old tv market, male or female.  The ones that did were probably sports betting young adults who have no interest in joining the military.  You probably either recruited them in high school, or with ads on social media.

Lol and apparently the Army determined the campaign lost them 38 enlistments, somehow…

A nice feature of the UFL was the introduction of locally stationed Army personnel at each game. They would chat with a soldier or two at each game.

 

As an Army veteran, I thought that was very cool.

I would imagine that is what the money the Army paid was to get that to happen... that was paid for, just like the stuff you see at nfl games

If you're tying immediate ROI to an ad campaign, you're often going to be disappointed. 

 

Further, the UFL does not seem to be.the best ad channel for late teens and early 20-somethings. Their ad agency ought to be fired for this. Also not sure how they tied the 38 enlistees to the campaign. Did they not re-enlist because of the UFL?

 

I had no idea Russ Brandon was CEO of this league. 

 

LOL at The Rock. C'mon, man, write 3 more posts. He's probably too busy making bad video game movies.
