What an incredible achievement by our friends at Big Ten Network, Big Ten Conference, and of course, the participating schools and athletes!! Packing 92K fans into the iconic Memorial Stadium 🌽 🏈 ...for a volleyball match 🏐 ...that broke the attendance record for women's sports 🥇 ...in front of an international TV audience 🌎 ...is a milestone to celebrate 🥳 What is the #B1G doing right to accomplish such a feat? I think a major contributing factor is #directtoconsumer (#D2C) streaming access to 1,700 non-televised games and events on Big Ten Plus. Consider the scale of the audience: ✅ 10K student-athletes ✅ 500K active students ✅ 5.5M living alumni ✅ Countless friends and family members As we've seen from the conference realignment drama over the summer, football will have an outsized role in national broadcast rights for the foreseeable future. But the pride fans must feel to watch their classmates, siblings, children, etc. play (or broadcast!) the games they love speaks to the power of #OTT.

Love this #nil campaign Playbooked executed for 1-800 Flowers Personalization Mall for a Mother’s Day campaign. Playbooked met with them at a Brand Innovators event recently and their team was able to execute this campaign quickly with a number of athletes. The video below is with Madisen Skinner, University of Texas Volleyball Captain and 3 Time National Champion. Love the authenticity of these types of videos!! BTW, Personalization Mall is pretty awesome for gifts! Here are some of the other athletes that participated in this Mother’s Day campaign: Lexi Rodriguez (Nebraska Volleyball) Jasmine Williams (UCF Softball) Shaniya Hall (Oregon Track) Olivia Rothfeld (Towson Tennis) #digitalmarketing #sportsmarketing #innovation

At the Great Plains beach volleyball 🏐 tournament in Omaha. I observed a few things with the players and I want to share that with you. When talent, skills, and will are equal, the x-factor is attitude. Your attitude shapes how you handle adversity. Teams that players stayed calm and focused in clutch moments or when the play didn’t go their way. Won all of the close matches. Teams that players were unsettled and lost focused in key moments lost every game. Everyone plays to win, but different factors always determine the winner of the match. Stay calm and focused. Always play to win. #WinningMindset #StayPositive #AttitudeMatters #PlayToWin #KeepCalm #Adversity #SuccessMindset #PositiveAttitude #MentalToughness #GameChanger
