Global Programs
Creating and analyzing effective digital media is central to the marketing of sports by broadcasters, organizations, and brands.
The vast majority of sport revenue is generated via technology in the form of tickets sold online, event broadcasts & sponsorship rights, and digital products & content, increasingly consumed on mobile devices. The future success of the sport business professional rests in the minds and hands of those best able to navigate the new sporting environment.
At the undergraduate level, the Center for Sports Strategy & Sales (S3) prepares students to launch careers with (a) the sales and customer analytics tools to efficiently connect and communicate with today's ticket buyers, (b) the knowledge of digital media products and analytics to present and track effective brand activation strategies for partners, and (c) the data strategy and actionable insights to guide teams, broadcasters, and partners to maximize revenue.
