WWE has hit 100m subscribers on Youtube 🤯 It now has more than twice as many subscribers as the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL put together. And although it still pushes fans to its live events on Fox, USA and Peacock, it views digital as a key source for behind-the-scenes content, storyline elements and highlights from the past. They are the first ever sports company to reach 100m and the 10th overall channel to ever achieve that milestone 👏 ---------------- 📌Try my free sports newsletter You’ll get the latest sports business news and industry updates!

Short form content + Texas HS Basketball Playoffs = fun times I recently went to a playoff game this past week, and decided to create a little what todays athletes call a "mixtape" which is not at all what these edited content is but I find it fun lol. Just short and simple won the game tbh, wanted something really fast to put out for the star player. He's ranked top in the nation apparently. Better use of sound design in this edit in my opinion. #sportsvideography #basketballvideography #sportsmedia #adobepremierepro

The 2024 NBA Draft Combine will begin on May 12-19 on ESPN 2 and NBA TV. 78 players invited to participate at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis in Chicago. Every invitee must attend the combine, undergoing various evaluations such as medical check-ups, height and wingspan measurements, media interactions, and more. Participating in scrimmage games are now optional. Prospects will undergo athletic, physical, and shooting tests: 1. Vertical jump, bench press, sprint time, lane agility time, modified event time 2. Height, wingspan, weight, standing reach, body fat, hand length/width 3. Spot-up 3pt field goals on position (high school, college, NBA) 4. Shooting off the dribble, timed jumpshots on the move

ANATOMY OF AN AD: ESPN x National Basketball Association (NBA) THE NEED: It's playoff season. Let's get fans pumped. THE CTA: watch the NBA playoffs on ESPN. THE 1-THING: the playoffs are where legends play. THE INSIGHT: today's players are tomorrow's legends. THE CONCEPT: tie in yesterday's playoff heroes with todays by splicing them into video with each other, sharing the court and the spotlight, showcasing that together, they carry a long unbroken tradition of excellence. the 30-second ad drums up feelings of nostalgia AND hype. WHY IT WORKS: this isn't the first time a league has tied in today's players with yesterday's to make a point. (The NFL does this all the time in broadcast promos.) This is the first time it was done via such visceral editing, making you feel like the players are there with each other, aware of and interacting with each other. This concept gets super hokey quickly without world-class editing. Thankfully, the editing *is* world-class, and avoids falling into the uncanny valley, which is a major risk. Also, let's talk about the music: the soul sample and production are deliberately retro, with modern rap heavyweight Future delivering laconic bars atop. This is an overt past meets future mashup which acts as the ad's unsung hero. This likely doesn't work if the song is more popular than it is (too distracting) or if it's simply a throwback soul track or a modern traphouse banger. THE VERDICT: Talk about satisfying the brief. Hell yes it does. Nothing high-concept or overdramatic about it. No copy. no VO. none needed. The NBA's stock-in-trade is, and will always be, it's players. Letting them take center stage is always a good call. But to really tell the history of the league in a bite-size hype video so effectively, so casually? Straight A's up and down the court. . . . #advertising #sports #basketball #rise2024 #branding

You may recall the amazing feat sports announcer Michael Buffer pulled off after trademarking his signature catchphrase “let’s get ready to rumble” – he licensed it out to make more than he ever did in the ring – over $400 million dollars! A fellow ring enthusiast may have been watching his success. When Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson joined the board of directors at TKO Holdings (the owner of the WWE), he also got the rights to the trademark of not only his name but also his signature catchphrases, such as jabroni, and the people’s elbow. https://lnkd.in/eRsNVdXJ It’s yet to be seen whether he’ll make the kind of monetary gains that Michael Buffer did, but it will be interesting to see how he utilizes it. Digital and unique assets such as trademarks can be difficult to value, and as such can create complications when it comes to estate planning. Especially for high-value estates, the IRS may have very different determinations about what the value should be. If you’re wondering about what’s usually done in such cases, talk to us. https://lnkd.in/eEJwYB3

Magic, Jordan, LeBron, Curry, and...nobody? Is the NBA failing to promote its new stars effectively? Are players themselves shying away from the traditional media spotlight? How has social media changed the way fans and players interact, impacting the mystique of these athletes? My latest article explores the current state of the NBA, and why it seems to be struggling to find its next universally recognized superstar despite an abundance of talent. I answer these questions and more in my latest article, "Why is the NBA's Star Search so Difficult?" Click the link below to find the full article! https://lnkd.in/grsYb-QV

ESPN extends College Football Playoffs in $1.3B deal. Topline, (but not quite in the detail) this another 2X sports media rights deal. Coming on the heels of the Netflix and WWE 2X deal and the National Football League (NFL)'s 85% increase. What's interesting here is - while hardly niche' - College Football isn't the AAA+ rating giant the WWE or NFL are. So, in a - usually - steep decay curve of media rights values, the middle of the market is seeing the same percentage increase for the best content that the top of market is. And, good chance this content gets rolled into the "Hulu of sports," right? #sports #streaming #mediarights #espn
