Story Highlights
It's nothing new that sports leagues and broadcasts are turning to places like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other social media platforms to attract, retain, monetize, and engage with sports fans. There, short-form video is the name of the game, and the same is true for the largest sports federations in Europe.
In this exclusive conversation, you'll learn about the latest in short-form and social video strategy from SailGP's Director of Social Tom Halls, European Tour Productions' Creative Director, Original and Branded Content Patrick Burch-Lovell, and The Premier League's Director of Digital Media & Audience Development Alexandra Willis.
What are some of their mobile first' best practices? What are their insights into the strategy and reasoning behind the use of short-form content, including athlete- and user-generated content (commonly referred to as UGC)? How is it all different from platform to platform?
