Four Nations Face Off: Hockey, Politics & Marketing
Sometimes the best marketing moments happen by accident. The Four Nations Hockey Tournament took place at a politically charged time between the U.S. and Canada, fueling national pride, rivalry-driven engagement, and a surge in digital conversations—but was this a strategic move or pure luck?
In this episode of Creating Space, we break down:
✔️ The impact of timing in marketing—how the political climate turned this tournament into a viral moment.
✔️ Why brands jumped on the rivalry (and how some missed the mark).
✔️ The power of nostalgia in sports marketing—how past matchups and legacy moments fueled audience connection.
✔️ How brands and businesses (big or small) can tap into cultural moments for marketing wins.
✔️ What we would have done differently to maximize brand partnerships and fan-driven content.
And in our listener Q&A, we answer: What's the best part of running a fully remote agency?
