What I need from you to go to market on brand partnerships for Channel G.
Four sections. First the rolodex — the brand people Donald's already touched that I pulled from the public record. Then the brand universe, the slate inventory, and the operational proof we cite externally.
Each section stands alone; take them in sittings. Answers save as you go — a Download button lives in the top bar and the corner on mobile so you don't have to scroll back here.
For each brand, pick one of four states. Click it again to clear. Add anyone we missed in the write-in under each category.
Everyone Donald has already touched a brand deal with that I could find in public reporting (2010–2026). Mark the ones Gilga wants to keep warm, actively re-engage, let sit, or walk away from — and tell us who the human is on the brand side so we don't pitch cold around them. If I missed anyone, drop them in the write-in at the bottom.
AriZona Iced Tea and Mountain Dew — I went looking and found nothing credible on either. If one of those was real and I'm missing it, flag it in the write-in above with the year.
Louis Vuitton, Fear of God, MSCHF — press has photos of Donald wearing these but none of them are formal collaborations I can source. Worth clarifying with him before we treat them as warm.
Who we chase first, who we would take a meeting with, who we never pitch. Categories are mutually exclusive at the founding tier — one brand per category locks the slot.
The slate shape and the ladder we build the partnership around. What a brand can slot into between now and the Channel G window.
What we cite externally to earn the room. The references and track record that convert a cold brand into a first meeting.
