Army Faces Setbacks in $11 Million Marketing Deal with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson
The partnership with the United Football League and Johnson's social media influence fell short of expectations, leading to a review of the contract.
- The Army aimed to boost recruitment through a deal with the UFL and Johnson as a brand ambassador.
- Johnson's limited social media posts did not meet the Army's expectations for the campaign.
- An internal review projected a loss of 38 enlistments due to the campaign's shortcomings.
- Experts suggest the deal's failure was more contractual than tactical, highlighting the need for clear agreements.
- The Army continues to negotiate with the UFL to address the issues and finalize the partnership.
