Situation

FedEx planned to launch their 2024 NFL Super Bowl LVIII Sweepstakes. They had two main goals: To increase registrations compared to their 2020 NFL sweepstakes. And to grow incremental revenue and volume during the peak shipping season. To succeed, they had to connect with small and medium businesses. And they needed to drive them to the sweepstakes landing and registration pages. This required digital and social channels, paid media, sales materials, and customer collateral. The timeline was aggressive — roughly eight weeks. And collaboration among numerous stakeholders, internal teams, agencies, and the NFL was crucial.
