Our July Content is LIVE featuring a fun podcast with guests Amanda and Jonny Greco. Insightful discussion about promotions including the value of shared experience, adding a little whimsy, stacking elements and fan-sourcing content. 

Next month will be our 24th year at Gameops.com and we continue to add value to our site. We strive to be a place you can look to for inspiration and new ideas.  Our new Giveaway page has nearly 700 premium giveaways curated from sports team social media posts. See how and what other teams are giving to their fans, along with examples of promotion, marketing, timing and execution. 

We also post daily about a promotion or in-game activation along with notes, links and analysis at the Water Cooler.  These posts are a great way to stay connected with how teams are producing elements like scoreboard cams, mascots skits, theme nights and sponsor activations.  We also look to industry experts for best practices, innovations and high-level thinking.  

Gameops.com Plus features Huddle video calls twice a month on topics like cultivating your entertainment talent, utilizing your dance teams and preparing your contestants for the best results. In addition, interviews with executives like David Raymond (Raymond Entertainment), Steve Koonin (Atlanta Hawks) and John Franzone (Tampa Bay Lightning) and authors Rafi Kohan, Josh Pahagian and John Spoelstra are all archived for our readers.  

The Party in the Back Podcast (formerly the Gameops.com Podcast) has been a monthly feature for 12 years with talk and analysis on the fun side of sports marketing. Guests like organist Greazy Keys, Halftime Speed Painter Dan Dunn, in-game host Jay Kruz talk about how their talents fit into a great game presentation. We discuss industry trends and highlights with leaders like Peterborough Petes’ Burton Lee, Sixers CEO Scott O’Neil and Savannah Bananas Owner Jesse Cole.

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.
