We spent over an hour with Trey Mock from the Indianapolis Colts this month at the Party in the Back Podcast. He shared some powerful insights about their mascot program, including an untraditional approach to school shows which includes removing the costume head.  Trey digs into the WHY their approach as been so effective reaching an elusive high school audience.

Trey shares insights into Blue's social media success and how they leverage pies in the face to reach a larger audience on more serious subjects. Plus the interaction that changed everything for Trey as a performer. You will not want to miss this episode of the Party in the Back.

We also have posted the full video of our Huddle call with Cindy Gillies and Kynan Vine talking about producing the Calgary Stampede, creative production and managing live event teams. Jonny Greco hosts this interesting discussion.

All the new and highlighted content is listed below and available now on the home page at Gameops.com.

Content Features: The Water Cooler on Gameops.com
“It isn't enough for a promotion to be entertaining or even amusing; it must create conversation. When the fan goes home and talks about what he has seen, he is getting an additional kick out of being able to say he was there. Do not deny him the simple pleasure, especially since he is giving you the invaluable word-of-mouth advertising to add to the newspaper reports.” - Bill Veeck (Hustler's Handbook)

Water Cooler Moments are those that create conversation. Mascot skit, theme night, giveaway or wacky contest. We seek them out and serve them up on Gameops.com DAILY Monday through Friday.
