SIGN UP FOR OUR INSIGHTS BLASTS
Scaling new ventures is one of the most exciting elements of brand marketing — and one of the most challenging in a world of ever-more diverse and fragmented audiences. Whether you’re starting from scratch or taking an up-and-coming brand to the big leagues, leaning into fandom can help grow global communities and tee up consumer segments and markets for future growth. While on the ground at the Cannes LIONS Festival of Creativity this June, we heard from some of the world’s top athletes, sports teams, and brand leaders about how they’re using everything from technology experiments to wily brand partnerships to help build global fanbases. Barbie is building on lots of good foundations. Tune into conversations from Stagwell’s Content Studio to learn more.

How New Teams and Leagues are Unlocking Enterprise Value
From Pickleball to Slamball and from Philly to San Francisco, new leagues are cropping up and driving massive global fanbases. As investment flocks, hear how the lynchpin of reaching enterprise scale hinges on an audience-first approach to content, products, targeting, and more from former U.S. Women’s National Team Player and co-chair of Bay Football Club Aly Wagner, lacrosse star and Premiere Lacrosse League co-founder Paul Rabil, and Andres Cardenas, director, Brand Partnerships at the Player’s Tribune
Toto, We’re Not in (LA) Anymore: LA Rams on Global Brand Partnerships
Jen Prince – Chief Commercial Officer of the Los Angeles Rams – knows long-time fans can drive big revenue. But what about the future Rams die-hard fan? Hear from Prince and Laura Likos, Global Marketing & Communications Executive from 72andSunny, about how brand partnerships help the Rams grow beyond their LA roots.
Bringing People Together Through Sports – in the Living Room or 30,000 Feet in the Air
There’s not a more global experience than flying – and United Airlines is doing everything it can to power a top-notch frictionless experience for consumers. No wonder it’s making fans – even Cardinals’ offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum. United’s Meg Mitchell took the stage with Beachum and 72andSunny CEO Evin Shutt to talk about how United’s getting entrenched in sport communities to help bring consumers around the world together.
