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.

Poleshifter Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 5 hours ago, strive_for_five_guy said: 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 The Army was probably wondering where all the free New Era hats were that were being promised by league VIPs. New Era probably didn't know anything about it. 🤔🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
