ANECDOTE

Anthropologie Turns A Prank Into Product

Anthropologie leaned into a viral TikTok prank by selling hefty decorative rocks after a clip racked up 12 million views.
The brand created in-store displays so customers could take pictures and actually buy the $1,000 stones.

INSIGHT

NFL Rule Turned Teams Into Financial Assets

The NFL changed rules to let owners sell up to 10% of teams to private equity, creating a new liquidity channel for owners.
That rule turned teams from private mansions into finance-friendly assets without changing controlling ownership.

ADVICE

Sell Stakes To Fans Not Just PE

Change the rule to let fans buy stakes, not just private equity, to capture emotional value and marketing upside.
Offer limited fan equity packages that avoid full public-company obligations but boost engagement and PR.
