Strategy and Execution

Results

At the end of the 2017-2018 season, LCCs generated 409 photo posts across League, Club and Player social media channels resulting in over 10M engagements.

Additionally, we distributed 7,000 LCC images through a partnership with AP where the images were downloaded and shared by outlets such as Good Morning America, ESPN, Fox Sports, CBS Sports and Sports Illustrated.

Here are a few specific examples of how we achieved objectives across each group.
