The brand previously served as the official sunscreen partner of the NFL in the UK and Ireland, including sponsorship of the NFL London Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This deal is a smart play on multiple levels. Johnson&#8217;s &#8220;Bloodsport&#8221; identity (battle-tested, disciplined, culturally authentic) maps perfectly onto a brand challenging decades of neglect in sun care marketing for communities of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is also a signal that wellness brands are increasingly turning to respected veterans over flashy stars to build trust with targeted demographics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does My Block Skin&#8217;s NFL partnership history suggest the brand is strategically using sports as its primary growth lane, and is that the right long-term move? How does Johnson&#8217;s martial arts and MMA background add a dimension of discipline and toughness to a wellness brand that other NBA ambassadors might not bring?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Block Skin, the sun care brand on a mission to redefine who is seen and protected in the SPF category, has named NBA veteran James Johnson as a Global Brand Ambassador.
