The same day it was announced, Smalls Sliders, the burger chain Brees invested in early on, launched a limited-edition cup benefiting the Brees Dream Foundation. That follows an August 2025 partnership with Jimmy John&#8217;s, another brand he owns as a franchisee alongside Walk-On&#8217;s Bistreaux &amp; Bar and Dunkin&#8217;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brees isn&#8217;t the only NFL name making brand headlines this year. <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/taylor-rooks-and-jared-mccain-partner-with-starbucks-for-fanatics-fest-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Taylor Rooks and Jared McCain partnered with Starbucks<\/a> for Fanatics Fest in July. Tight end <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/travis-kelce-named-new-brand-ambassador-for-six-flags\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Travis Kelce became Six Flags&#8217; brand ambassador<\/a> back in March, part of a wider 2026 trend of athletes anchoring travel and experience-brand deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Breeze, which now flies more than 300 routes to 91 cities, was named to TIME&#8217;s 100 Most Influential Companies list for 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Five years without a single ambassador, and Breeze goes and signs a guy whose last name is basically a marketing gift. That&#8217;s not an accident; it&#8217;s a budget airline betting that a recognizable, well-liked name can do more for brand trust than another round of fare-sale ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The timing is the real story here. Announcing this days before Brees walks into Canton guarantees Breeze rides a wave of earned media it couldn&#8217;t buy at any price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pair that with his deep ties to New Orleans, one of the airline&#8217;s key markets, and this looks less like a celebrity stunt and more like a calculated regional play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Brees, this adds a travel and lifestyle line to a portfolio that&#8217;s leaned heavily food-and-franchise (Walk-On&#8217;s, Jimmy John&#8217;s, Dunkin&#8217;, Smalls Sliders) in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does a recognizable name like Drew Brees actually move ticket sales for a budget carrier, or is this mostly a brand-awareness play? Could this be the start of Breeze signing more athlete ambassadors as it grows past 300 routes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breeze Airways has named Drew Brees as its first-ever brand ambassador, the airline announced on August 3, 2026.
