Gen Z Insights: January 2024
To kick off 2024, the Michigan Wolverines clinched the College Football National Championship, setting the stage for an exciting year in sports. As we gear up for the upcoming Super Bowl, college campuses are buzzing with the return of students after a rejuvenating winter break.
Amidst this backdrop, 98Strong is actively spearheading growth for our brand partners through engaging New Year, New You campaigns. In this month's edition, we take a closer look at how NCAA Student Athletes are approaching their goals for the year. We also showcase the remarkable success of our fall semester campaign with Super Coffee and put the spotlight on the first Student Athlete of the year.

SIZZLE REEL
In 2022, 98Strong conducted a pilot campaign involving 20 Student Athletes to bolster the launch of Super Coffee's Super ENRGY. This collaboration expanded during the past fall semester, showcasing 180 Student Athletes generating substantial content on Instagram. The focus was on supporting Super Coffee's key retail partners within walking distance of campuses, aiming to drive a significant share of voice for the premier ready-to-drink coffee on the market.
