Great opportunities

Staffing Fortune Cookie No. 54 Are your starters Playmakers? 🏈 Or are they Paper Tigers? 📃🐅 Everybody knows the Kansas City Chiefs have the Playmakers. Detroit has been coming up big too! They make the diving catch on 3rd and long, kick the field goal at the buzzer, and make the pick 6 to win it! EVERBODY knows that the Chiefs can't win without those Playmakers. 📢 AND YOU CAN'T WIN WITHOUT PLAYMAKER TALENT EITHER And Playmaker Talent WON'T: - Play for 20% below market $ - Play for substandard Beni's - Play for a toxic manager - Play for a B or C manager - Play for low Repvue rankings - Play for low Glassdoor rankings - Play for low/no PMF - Play for people who don't speak to their goals/passion/purpose - Play for no growth - And MOST won't play for RTO 🤷♂️ The list goes on... Having ONE of these issues is enough to repel Playmakers. Which will you fix to win? 🏈

Honest question: Why does arguing drive Emmy awards? I used to enjoy sports pre-game and post-game shows because they would have deeper analysis around strategy, performance and the variance embedded in the game(yes, I'm a strategy nerd). Over the years this has transformed, and I've really only noticed it recently. The emergence of the TNT crew (pictured below) along with personalities like Stephen A. Smith, Pat McAfee and others on ESPN are always yelling at and over each other; they are huge personalities that make their point by brute force rather than respectful discourse. But they keep winning Emmy Awards. So here is the question -- what am I missing? I know I'm old, an Enneagram 5, and an introvert -- so maybe that's all it is. But why do the masses (including yourself) enjoy this so much? I'm not even judging it, although personally they are not the Peeps in want in my Jeep. But I am fascinated with what has happened in society that this sort of banter -- angry (or acting angry) hosts all talking loudly (or yelling) to make their point and not responding to what each other are saying -- is what is driving positive ratings.

⚾No two situations are identical in Major League Baseball. Hitters are tasked with understanding where they do damage and where an individual pitcher is vulnerable to create an approach. Pitchers are constantly hunting the parts of the strike zone or individual pitches where a hitter struggles to choose which pitches to prioritize. Systems are no different - a team chooses each product pitch based on the unique needs of the people and processes they have in place. As I start my new role at Teamworks, the goal is to connect with the MLB teams, leaders, and players we serve to listen and learn how to improve our product experience. The exciting thing about embarking on this journey with Teamworks is the organization’s desire to innovate in elite sports. This affords me not just the opportunity to gather information, but also to share some pieces publicly that won’t compromise competitive advantage for our clients. ❔What problems are teams trying to solve? ❔What uncharted territory are they considering venturing into? ❔What efficiencies can we help them unlock through integrating systems or adding products? While most of my conversations will be on background, I am confident that we can give you access to some interesting perspective. Whether you work in professional sports, in sports technology, or just curious about the sports world, I invite you to follow along, engage, or even schedule some time with me. I’ll be back next week with some insights from my first trip!

It’s that time of year again! And no, I’m not just talking about the holidays—it’s time to start scouting for new ambassadors for the Rockstar Performance Garage Street Team! (YAY!!) One of the best parts about being the ambassador manager is connecting with automotive content creators who not only make killer content but also share a real passion for cars. I love seeing how new personalities and fresh energy add a new dynamic to the group each year! With that said, vetting new members is SO important. I look for individuals who can represent our sponsors authentically, engage their audience, and act as true extensions of the brands we work with. Are you excited about kicking off new sponsorships in 2025? Let me know how you’re prepping for the new year! I’d love to hear your thoughts! Here’s to a big year ahead full of new opportunities, connections, and creativity. Let’s make it a good one!! #AutomotiveCommunity #ContentCreators #AmbassadorPrograms #RockstarPerformanceGarage #Sponsorships

Red Bull's latest PR stunt made me think of their marketing secret: They don't interrupt what people love. They become what people love. Owning sports assets isn't just sponsorship. It's brand integration at its core. • Red Bull F1 team • Several Red Bull Football clubs • And even a hockey team Result? Authentic connection with their audience. In PR, we often focus on messaging. Red Bull shows us the power of actual action and doing something. They're not talking about extreme sports. They're making extreme sports happen. How can you move beyond words in your sector? I am unsure whether I could pull off a back flip on a bike. 😆 #BrandAction #AuthenticMarketing #PRstunts

The north star guides you. The vision motivates you. The goal keeps you focused. The outcome shows you that you can do it. There is nothing better than setting a goal and crushing it. So incredibly proud of the MarComm team at the New York Red Bulls. Storytelling. Engagement. Media partnerships. Fan engagement. They have accomplished this to date and more. There is much more work to be done. This is just the beginning. The new era of New York Red Bulls soccer is now. Let’s go. #inspire #teamwork #marketing
