In episode 205 we talked about how ServiceMaster masterfully executed a now-viral campaign surrounding a tweet about paying the fine for Memphis Grizzlies head coach David Fizdale following his epic postgame rant vs the Spurs #TakeThatForData. Pete Tosches, SVP of Corporate Communication at ServiceMaster joins Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy to give us a peek under the hood of how they executed the campaign and the thought process surrounding it. How did the idea start, did they think they’d have to pay the head coach’s fine, sponsoring the Game 4 towels, to the biggest lessons they learned from it.

LaVar Ball is trying to get a billion dollar deal for his Big Baller Brand and right now it’s not going so hot. Nike, Under Armour, and Adidas all said they are not interested in Lonzo Ball. Nike consultant George Raveling called LaVar “the worst thing to happen to basketball in the last hundred years.”Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy try and give some advice to LaVar Ball. If he brought us on board how would we try and help him right this ship? The biggest problem he’s running into is that he’s putting the Big Baller Brand before the success of Lonzo Ball. The model he is trying to fix isn’t broken. There is no incentive for the top brands to create a partnership deal where they promote Big Baller Brand. If he wanted to create a billion dollar disruptive brand, how would he need to do it?

Memphis Grizzlies head coach David Fizdale went on an epic postgame rant about the referees following his team's Game 2 playoff loss to the Spurs. This garnered him a nice $30,000 fine from the league. ServiceMaster, a Memphis based company, tweeted that they’d be willing to pick up the tab for the fine.

The Los Angeles Clippers sold tickets to Game 5 of their NBA Playoffs series against the Utah Jazz on Groupon. This was not the first time this season that the team, who is the sixth highest valued NBA franchise but was one of three teams to lose money last season, sold tickets on the platform. Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy dish about if sports teams selling tickets on Groupon is a good thing? Considering the NBA playoffs are the pinnacle of a team's journey towards potentially winning an NBA title, why are the Clippers having to resort to this marketing tactic?

The MLBPA just launched an app called Infield Chatter which is a custom social network just for players and their fans. They’ve already got over 1,000 MLB players onboard creating content and engaging with fans.Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy dish about why they like that the MLBPA is trying new things, but as a whole they don’t like the idea. We don’t need another social media network that doesn’t solve a problem or improve anything. Sure it’s nice that it is targeting the baseball only niche, but the problem they are trying to solve of seeing more content from the players you want just isn’t going to happen.

Toasted grasshoppers are all the rage right now at the Seattle Mariners Safeco Field. So far this year they’ve sold over 18,000 grasshoppers at the Poquitos concession stand (at $4 for a four-ounce cup), which was added as part of the Mariners strategy to add more of a local flair to their concessions. Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy dish about why fans love the toasted grasshoppers. Is it for the taste or is it the experience? For as hot as the toasted grasshoppers are selling, the Mariners are majorly failing by limiting sales to just 312 orders per game. Why would they do that and limit the amount of people who can have a positive brand experience? What would we do to amplify the toasted grasshoppers experience? Should other teams and brands try and create their own version of toasted grasshoppers?In each episode of The Sports Marketing Huddle, CEO of BOLD Worldwide Brian Cristiano, and Founder of Cress Media & Bacon Sports Rob Cressy give a forward-thinking perspective about some of the hottest topics in the world of sports marketing and then give you actionable advice on how you can implement it into your business.Our goal of the podcast is to create the best sports marketing podcast and take The Sports Marketing Huddle up to #1 on iTunes New & Noteworthy.

SoulCycle is more than just spinning classes. It’s a community, it’s an experience, and it’s an intense workout. In this off the record Rob Cressy shares with Brian Cristiano his first time experience taking a class at SoulCycle on recommendation from Mrs Bacon.

Mizuno just created their Mizuno Experience Center at Atlanta Braves Sunburst stadium where, among other things, fans can rent a glove for a game and test it for 48 hours. If they like it, their credit card is charged, otherwise they return it free of charge. Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy dish about why they love this level of fan engagement, especially within the highly targeted audience Mizuno is looking to reach. At the Experience Center fans can also choose from 125 Mizuno bats to demo, play around at a golf swing lab and running lab, a volleyball wall, and cleat wall. Unfortunately, not everything Mizuno did was perfect. One area in which Mizuno failed at is not having a website built out for this and/or having a big social presence. This lack of complete digital execution misses huge opportunities where they could engage their audience, increase their awareness, and create positive brand interactions.In each episode of The Sports Marketing Huddle, CEO of BOLD Worldwide Brian Cristiano, and Founder of Cress Media & Bacon Sports Rob Cressy give a forward-thinking perspective about some of the hottest topics in the world of sports marketing and then give you actionable advice on how you can implement it into your business.Our goal of the podcast is to create the best sports marketing podcast and take The Sports Marketing Huddle up to #1 on iTunes New & Noteworthy.

A recent article in FutureSport shared seven ways that teams could monetize fan created content. Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy talk about if it makes sense or is even possible to monetize fan created content. Should teams be thinking bigger with their sponsorships?

For many teams across Major League Baseball the weather is less than desireable in the first two months of the 162 game season. This can cause ticket sales and attendance to decrease as many fans opt to wait to attend games until it’s nicer out. Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy talk about what MLB teams can do from a marketing standpoint to encourage attendance early in the season. It’s no longer good enough to just give away a bobblehead.

The NHL playoffs just started and with it comes a journey for both the players and fans to win the greatest trophy in all of professional sports, the Stanley Cup. Because of the cache of Lord Stanley, the NHL has successfully engaged fans with its #becauseitsthecup and #myplayoffsmoment hashtags, getting them to send in photos and videos of them sharing their experience. What can teams do to encourage fans to send in more videos? On the other side of the pond, the NBA playoffs are set to start this weekend and they are in a different scenario than the NHL thanks to appealing to a larger, non-niche audience. It’s much easier for a casual fan to watch LeBron James or Steph Curry than it is Sidney Crosby or Patrick Kane. What can the NBA do to generate a similar level of fanaticism that the NHL has with #becauseitsthecup? Lastly, what can workplaces do to jump on the bandwagon of both these playoffs and encourage participation for their employees?In each episode of The Sports Marketing Huddle, CEO of BOLD Worldwide Brian Cristiano, and Founder of Cress Media & Bacon Sports Rob Cressy give a forward-thinking perspective about some of the hottest topics in the world of sports marketing and then give you actionable advice on how you can implement it into your business.Our goal of the podcast is to create the best sports marketing podcast and take The Sports Marketing Huddle up to #1 on iTunes New & Noteworthy.

Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy put a bow on these three topics as they dish about how Pizza Hut was the runaway winner of March Adsanity, blowing away the competition in terms of engagement, how The Masters missed a gigantic opportunity by not allowing cell phones to capture one of the most exciting endings ever, and how Cubs fans are brimming with excitement at their home opener where they will raise their Championship flags, something that MLB majorly dropped the ball on.In each episode of The Sports Marketing Huddle, CEO of BOLD Worldwide Brian Cristiano, and Founder of Cress Media & Bacon Sports Rob Cressy give a forward-thinking perspective about some of the hottest topics in the world of sports marketing and then give you actionable advice on how you can implement it into your business.Our goal of the podcast is to create the best sports marketing podcast and take The Sports Marketing Huddle up to #1 on iTunes New & Noteworthy.

Gabe Lacques, Baseball Editor at USA Today, joins Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy to talk about how Major League Baseball can improve their marketing.

Hello Friends. The Masters is a tradition unlike any other. Steeped in a rich history of golf’s elite, it is seen as THE number one golf tournament. As much as I am a fan of The Masters, they are doing themselves no favors by refusing to adapt to the current digital era. Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy dish about why The Masters needs to get with the times. From their no cell phones, cameras, or beepers (yes, beepers) policy, to not broadcasting the entire tournament on TV. The Masters is a prime example of why golf’s ratings and fandom have declined. “The good old boys” are only going to be around for so long, so The Masters needs to make some changes and start appealing to a younger generation. At the end Brian and Rob give actionable advice on what you can implement into your business from the way The Masters markets themselves.In each episode of The Sports Marketing Huddle, CEO of BOLD Worldwide Brian Cristiano, and Founder of Cress Media & Bacon Sports Rob Cressy give a forward-thinking perspective about some of the hottest topics in the world of sports marketing and then give you actionable advice on how you can implement it into your business.Our goal of the podcast is to create the best sports marketing podcast and take The Sports Marketing Huddle up to #1 on iTunes New & Noteworthy.

In an episode of Seinfeld George Costanza says, “My life is the opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have, in every area of life, be it something to wear, something to eat...Its all been wrong.” This compels him to do the complete opposite, with the logic that the opposite would have to be right if the way he’s doing things is currently wrong. Because of this episode of Seinfeld, Rob Cressy has implemented something in his life called “Pulling a Costanza” where he does the complete opposite of his normal routine. The goal of “Pulling a Costanza” is to experience life differently. To have a different energy for the day and do so with a smile and an open mind. When you do a new set of possibilities start to arise. Brian Cristiano also shares his version of “Pulling a Costanza” about how he challenged himself to walk home differently every day for 30 days to see what would happen. Both of these stories should inspire you to have an open mind, not be afraid of doing something different, and to find ways to bring new positive experiences to your life.In each episode of The Sports Marketing Huddle, CEO of BOLD Worldwide Brian Cristiano, and Founder of Cress Media & Bacon Sports Rob Cressy give a forward-thinking perspective about some of the hottest topics in the world of sports marketing and then give you actionable advice on how you can implement it into your business.Our goal of the podcast is to create the best sports marketing podcast and take The Sports Marketing Huddle up to #1 on iTunes New & Noteworthy.

It seems that the majority of times that I go to a sports bar something is off. Either they don’t have the correct sporting events on TV or their social media marketing is overly self promotional and lacks delivering value.
