Our time at Super Bowl on Media Row was a gift that keeps on giving for curious learners. Latest examples are below. Three quick listens with three leaders in the media space, all from different angles, all overseeing three distinct, disruptive and growing platforms…The Ringer, Front Office Sport and Action Network. As always you can …
Before heading off this weekend I got to unpack…literally…from all the learnings at Super Bowl in New Orleans. We did 22 podcasts, helped facilitate close to 70 interviews, staged and helped coordinate a press event talking about the future of engagement with EA Sports, the NFL, NBC, the Rams and Genius Sports (nice summary here) …
