Yep, it's true -- and I couldn't be more excited or grateful.
There is a lengthy post to come later, but the people who made this happen deserve genuine congratulations and appreciation. None more than Jonathan and Gary for believing in me, Bryan and Blaine for seeing our vision, and most importantly -- our entire WRSTBND team + my parents for...well, everything.

🔥 How Reggae Rise Up delighted their fans while boosting bundle sales by 59% 🔥
Ben Allen from Live Nite Events says it simply: “Everyone is looking to optimize both the customer experience and their margins.”
The team behind Reggae Rise Up faced two challenges:
1. Their offerings were limited without diverse, experiential add-ons
2. They were underutilizing revenue streams from upgraded experiences like open bars and afterparties, missing out on significant additional profit
With Jampack, Reggae Rise Up gave their fans more--they offered curated experience packages for fans in their 2023 Vegas and Florida festivals.
The result?
🚀 35% increase in average order value (AOV) for Vegas festivals
🚀 59% rise in bundle orders for Florida festivals in 2023.
🚀 56% increase in fans purchasing bundles for Florida events in 2023

Selling sponsorships is tough. It doesn't matter if you are an NFL franchise, NASCAR team, music festival, museum, state fair. We have so much respect for people who own the responsibility of bringing in sponsorship revenue. It’s a tough gig and often underappreciated.
We primarily work with brands to create sponsorships that are targeted, effective and fun. However, after reviewing hundreds of pitches over the last 20 years, we are launching a new service to help sellers clarify their message and improve their closure rate. It's called, Clear Pitch.
As a StoryBrand Certified Guide, I know that clarifying your message is the #1 way to attract more sponsors and differentiate you from your competition. Clear Pitch applies the StoryBrand framework to help you do just that.
Our brand clients are looking for two things, solutions to problems and opportunities. Your ability to communicate the problem you solve or the opportunity you create is the key to your success or failure. When you clearly articulate your value proposition you will standout versus the competition. You can avoid competing on price. You can avoid “me too” proposals. You can avoid losing deals to your competition.
Our process is quick and starts with a FREE assessment. Check us out at https://lnkd.in/e77UAR3e
Let’s get started today. #sponsorship#storybrand#sportsbiz
This lawsuit represents a potential turning point in the live event industry. If the courts rule against Live Nation and Ticketmaster, it could lead to the breakup or restructuring of their operations. This could create opportunities for smaller ticketing companies to gain market share and offer more competitive pricing. The negative public perception of the current ticketing giants could also drive venues and consumers to seek alternative, more customer-friendly solutions.

Hopefully this will not only result in lower ticketing fees, but will open the door for other capable ticketing companies such as #SquadUp to compete more in this space.
Late start this week.
For those in my network who are moms here in the US, I hope you all had a nice Mother's Day yesterday.
Another big weekend of sports, and a big day in the history of the WNBA as Caitlin Clark takes the court for her first regular season game. I do worry that the expectations are more than anyone should be expected to bear. But, she will no doubt be a great player.
And speaking of great, let's recognize some great people this week with the Nice Guy/Gal Awards.
Every Friday, I’ll share nominations for people who have been identified as nice guys (and gals).
If you want to nominate someone, just shoot me a private message by 5:00 EST on Thursday.
There are only 3 requirements:
1) you have to be connected to the person you nominate
2) you can only nominate one person per week
3) you can’t nominate yourself 😀
If you want to provide a brief reason for your selection, that’s great, but it’s not a requirement.
Let’s recognize people who make a difference simply by being nice.
Have a great day, everyone.

It is that time of the year again !
Festivals – A time when I spend more time gathering things to make sure everything is in order.
There are various ways to gather things, but somehow nothing seems to work.
Back in my school days, festivals were a time of joy and celebration. I remember playing cricket with passion, achieving success, and celebrating festivals with great enthusiasm were the highlights of my younger self.
Today, my perspective has transformed. Festivals have become my Gathering Days – where I lock myself in, away from distractions, and,
>Reflect on progress
>Analyze successes and setbacks
>Strategize for growth
Simon Sinek, the renowned author of "Start with Why," is a prime example of someone who leverages personal reflection and analysis to drive growth and success. His approach mirrors the idea of thoughtfulness and strategic planning.
I have learned that success is not just about achieving milestones but, also about understanding oneself. My journey has transformed me into someone who has always prioritized sustainable growth.
How are you celebrating the festivals?
