FOX Sports University: MLB at Field of Dreams
At Syracuse University, I participated in the FOX Sports University program.
FOX media relations and live TV executives challenged my sports master's cohort to:
-
Create an integrated marketing campaign to promote the 2022 MLB Field of Dreams Game, building upon FOX viewership success of 2021 game between Yankees and White Sox (most-watched MLB regular season game since 1998 with 5.9 million average viewers)
Please view our campaign pitch here.
​​
Using survey research and viewership demographic data for the 2021 Field of Dreams Game to inform my campaign, I developed strategies, tactics and multimedia content:​​
​
-
Airing promo for 2022 Field of Dreams Game during 2022 MLB All-Star Game and 'Baseball Night in America' telecasts
-
Leveraging athlete-driven content among Reds and Cubs players to highlight players' families and unique journeys to the Major Leagues
-
Consistently employ father-son, small town Midwest and baseball nostalgia themes from Field of Dreams film in promotional messaging
-
FOX Sports' social media platforms
-
Field of Dreams movie-themed baseball card visuals during live broadcast of Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds game​​


Sports PR Summit
The 2022 Sports PR Summit (SPRS) marked the first in-person iteration of the event since before the pandemic.
Leading a team of digital and social media strategists, I ensured maximum reach across multiple media channels. Our efforts enhanced the SPRS's national reputation and ability to attain Edward R. Murrow award-winning journalists such as Tom Rinaldi as panelists.
Researching global journalism, marketing, advertising and emerging media trends, I created our team's content calendar and engaged media executives across the country.
Our social, web and internal communications messages positioned the SPRS as the premier sports PR entity reflecting on the industry's most timely and relevant topics:
​

Name, Image and Likeness (NIL)

Social media, podcasting and the rise of athlete-driven content
