Stories have been used throughout the course of human civilization for many different purposes. They’ve been used to pass down traditions, entertain the masses, and teach lessons, to name a few.

As technology has advanced through the years, the way we communicate narratives has changed, as well. Homer’s tradition of oral storytelling has given way to earbuds and podcasts. These new methods still hold the power to powerful messages to the masses.

Brittney Effner, Account Manager at MarketScale, joins this episode of the podcast to talk about the marketing power of narrative podcasts. “A lot of people work every single day and don’t realize what they know and how unique that knowledge is,” she says. This knowledge can be packaged in a way that tells the story of a company, communicates the purpose behind their work, and explains why their company is unique.

“The way we’re promoting your company is not by creating a 30-second ad, but really trying to find that story about your company that engages the audience to dive deeper into what your company does and who your brand is,” Brittney says. What story can your company tell?

Southern Nevada locals make up 76% of buyers in the A's sold-out top club

Southern Nevada locals make up 76% of buyers in the A's sold-out top club

The Athletics sold out the roughly 300-seat Athletic Club for their Las Vegas ballpark. Buyers are 76% Southern Nevada residents and nearly 70% individuals rather than businesses. The Diamond Club is next.

  • 0176% of Athletic Club buyers are from Southern Nevada and nearly 70% are individuals rather than businesses.
  • 02For venue operators, the sellout suggests a top-tier premium club can sell out before the building opens.
  • 03Roughly 300 seats is under 1% of a 33,000-seat building, so the Diamond Club, Dugout Clubs and Legends Lounge sales are the better read on deeper premium demand.

TNT Sports will produce most of its 82 college basketball games remotely

TNT Sports will produce most of its 82 college basketball games remotely

TNT Sports began its second college basketball regular season on Nov. 2 with 82 games, most produced remotely through REMI workflows in 1080p HDR. Arena connectivity and truck availability decide the exceptions. TNT Sports' one new audio addition is a wired boom mic for timeout huddles.

  • 01Remote production is TNT Sports' default for most of its 82 college basketball games, and each arena's connectivity plus the availability of trucks and REMI kit decide which games get a different approach.
  • 02For venues hosting BIG EAST and Big 12 games on TNT, the building's outbound connectivity is part of what decides whether a full mobile unit shows up.
  • 03Year 2 changes are incremental: a typical game still runs six primary cameras plus five POVs, and the one new piece of audio is a wired boom mic aimed at timeout huddles.

Both teams at the NFL Madrid game are Sports Illustrated Tickets clients

The Bengals and Falcons are both Sports Illustrated Tickets clients, and Ticketmaster is both teams' ticketing sponsor. That split shows NFL clubs selling fan experience as a category separate from primary ticketing.

  • 01Both clubs in Madrid work with Ticketmaster as their ticketing sponsor; SI Tickets is presenting sponsor for the Bengals’ fan party.
  • 02For club partnership teams, the useful question is which fan-facing rights sit outside the ticketing sponsor's category and can be sold on their own.
