Event Production Show’s Post

PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY: Hey everyone, I'm looking to add some partnerships to my international standup paddle board race, Last Paddler Standing. The race was the #1 ranked SUP event in the U.S. last year and our live broadcast of the race was watched by over 23,000 people. We expect to increase the exposure by at least 50% this year. Here's what I can offer: - Major exposure for your company through our live broadcast of the event. - Opportunity to come on the broadcast and talk about your company. - Logo placement on the broadcast. The broadcast goes nonstop for 54 hours. - Social media posts about your company and its support of the race. - Opportunity for product placement at the race if applicable. - Logo placement on signage at the event. I'm not asking for much monetarily. I want companies that want to be involved with a cool event that has a pretty rabid following. If you're interested, let's chat! lastpaddlerstanding.com is the website to see more about the race.

Opportunities and Challenges. When sponsors change. I’ve always built our core event budgets around the entry fee income alone because sponsors come, and sponsors go. Recently, Montane didn’t renew their sponsorship of the Dragon’s Back Race®, and I have a choice about how I view this. I choose to see this as a golden opportunity for the event. Don’t get me wrong, a significant sponsor's unexpected departure is frustrating and has financial consequences. However, it is also a catalyst for transformation, and I remain optimistic about the future of this event and the broader trail-running ecosystem. Participation is booming, and in a digital age, live events remain the standout tool for a brand to reach out to, engage, and activate consumers. Events like the Dragon’s Back Race® will never attract vast numbers of participants. The race is just too hard 😉 , but this is precisely why it has become globally recognised and widely considered one of the world's toughest mountain races. What the event might lack in participant numbers, it makes up for in reach and audience size. What it might lack in participant numbers, it makes up for with unique and compelling media content that builds brand recognition and authenticity… but only for the right brand. Strategic alignment of the values and product of the brand with the event is crucial. Because we understand this, we have built enduring long-term relationships with sponsors across many events and years. I’m excited about the opportunities when considering who might step up and partner with the Dragon’s Back Race® in the future. While the end of a sponsorship deal might seem like a setback, it actually opens up a multitude of opportunities, such as how we communicate with our participants, how we develop the broader audience and how the event remains authentic and deeply connected with the trail running community. If you’d like to talk to me about how your brand could get involved with the Dragon’s Back Race® or any of our portfolio of events, please message me.

This is what I call #AlignedAction, when it's not about an individual but more about the collective action, when like-minded leaders come together to make an #ImpactOverEverything. True leaders are those who go out of their way to be #Givers and help elevate their teams, sharing their knowledge freely, connecting their networks to #Collaborate and succeed as well. That's how we define the game of #Success, to be #Givers rather than just takers! Let's redefine the game of success and stand for #CorporatesForGood to uplift our communities and make people better than when we found them. Like Adam Grant once said, 'Rather ask how we can help others be more effective!' #HelpOthersSucceed #BeTheChangeYouWantToSeeInTheWorld BTG Everyday Heroes Jo Black BIC UD Trucks Traditionally Wired Media Fedhealth Medical Scheme Thinkerneur One Human Summit Alpion Solutions

Feeling crabby? Not with our Employee Spotlight, Haynes Hendrickson, around! 🦀 Get to know one of Playfly's greatest catches better below. What do you do at Playfly Sports? As part of the Corporate Business Development team, I am focused on identifying opportunities with properties/rightsholders for any of Playfly’s Value Creation Services. This requires a lot of outreach and conversations to share Playfly capabilities and recent successes while also getting properties to openly share where they have blind spots and could use help. I also spend a lot of time communicating with Playfly business leads to make sure we are representing their narrative most effectively out in the marketplace. How do you like to spend your time outside of work? When we are not at sporting events in the Mid-Atlantic region with our two children (ages 13 and 12) we love to be home with our very large network of family and friends. My wife and I live in the same town that we grew up in and have a large extended family between us. Also, I love to do landscaping at home…perfect lines in the lawn deliver so much satisfaction. Lastly, I enjoy grilling and smoking food…and staying hydrated while doing it. Favorite movie and/or TV show? Movie: Godfather I, II, III TV Show: Diners, Drive-ins & Dives (I could watch it for hours) What destination do you hope to visit one day? I hope to visit the Far East someday. If you could learn a new skill/hobby, what would it be? I would love to know how to play guitar. Fun or interesting fact about you? I have completed 13 marathons and Two 70.3 Ironman races. #Playflyers #EmployeeSpotlight
