Our team is blowing up Event Tickets Center on social media... We just wrapped our partnership with Event Tickets Center for both the NFC Championship and NBA All-Star Weekend, and the results speak for themselves. 5 videos, 2.6 MILLION views and counting! None of this would have been possible without our amazing creator Justin Leusner🚀 and the incredible Ally Esposito and Abby Croell who took a chance on us when others wouldn't. Their vision, trust, and collaborative spirit made this campaign not just successful, but genuinely fun. Working with them has been nothing short of phenomenal. For two years, TDAY Sports has been knocking on doors, pitching our vision to ticket companies who just weren't ready to see what we saw. We always said the first company to give us a chance would be the one we'd want to build something special with long-term. Event Tickets Center didn't just open the door, but they handed us the keys and gave us all the creative freedom we needed to succeed. They believed in us when we were still asking others to believe. That kind of trust isn't something we take lightly, and it's something we'll never forget. This is just the beginning. Sometimes the best partnerships aren't found, but rather they find you at exactly the right moment. Stay tuned for what we do together this March, it's gonna be madness 👀 🏀

A client I work with just received this on their Tik Tok account. Can anyone connect me with someone who can help? This loss in revenue is a HUGE loss to the channel. Another reason why YouTube is king!

Pumped to announce that TDAY Sports has reached 1 Billion Lifetime Views🚀 All the credit goes to the incredible team who works hard every single day to publish sports stories.

We took over the Fiesta Bowl’s social media for Penn State’s first-ever home playoff game… Here’s how History was made this past Saturday as Penn State hosted its first-ever home playoff game against SMU. The winner of this game would win a trip to the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona! The Fiesta Bowl's content team, led by Jeramie McPeek, chose to partner with my team at TDAY Sports to bring the game day experience to life across their social platforms. As Penn State students who live and breathe the university's culture, we were in perfect position to capture the genuine energy and excitement of this historic moment. Our collaboration allowed us to take over their stories for the day and create engaging collaborative posts that resonated with both fan bases. Our field access allowed us to get pre-game interviews with some of Penn State’s biggest names, and also capture every big play that ultimately led to a Penn State victory! But the real magic happened post-game, where we captured celebratory moments and interviews with James Franklin, Nick Singleton, Liam Clifford, and Jay Reed. While this experience was nothing short of incredible, we're not done yet. We've got unfinished business to handle, and we couldn't be more excited to bring the same energy to Arizona next week to the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl!

National Football League (NFL) and Nike just inked a 10-year uniform deal. This contract extension will keep Nike the rights to design and produce the league's uniforms. And now, they are partnering now on an international level. Because the deal, which begins in 2025, commits Nike to help the NFL export American football overseas. How? By promoting the sport & athletes in key overseas markets As well as researching ways to prevent leg and foot injuries. National Football League (NFL) owners voted to approve the contract this morning in Dallas, Texas.
