Inside the Spreadsheet That Changed DTC Basketball Marketing
Superbuy's color-coded content calendar operates on an adaptive algorithm that:
Take their recent Michael Jordan birthday activation: The system auto-generated a content suite including a TikTok stitch challenge using his 1988 free-throw line dunk,paired with early access to Chicago colorway restocks through trackable superbuy.run/23rj1988
The Content Format Game-Changer
After analyzing 1.4M engagements across platforms, Superbuy's marketing team discovered:

---|---|---|
Unboxing Shorts (UGC-style) | 25.7% | +82% vs static |
