🎤💰 Super Bowl LVIII: Where the Money Talks and Usher Rocks! 💰🎤 The Super Bowl is the ultimate financial battleground, but guess who won't be cashing a paycheck for their show-stopping performance? That's right, Usher! 🚫💵 In fact, past performers have dished out up large sums just to hit the stage (crew, equipment, and all the glitz included). Talk about an investment in fame! But here's the kicker - performers don't seem to mind one bit! Why? Because they're playing the long game, and they know the Super Bowl halftime show is the golden ticket to an audience of over 115 million viewers. 🏈🌐 So, what's Usher's game plan? He's dropping a hot new album just days before the big show and rocking a Las Vegas residency that's creating viral waves of awe. Get ready to witness his star power rise to the top! Flashback to the 132nd Kentucky Derby where Usher and I shared a legendary day of pony betting glory. We debated the racing greats, chose #8 horse Barbaro, and celebrated a victory for the ages! 🏇 Now, as I continue to help investors play the long game, racking up financial victories, Usher, the R&B prodigy, and crossover sensation, continues to dazzle the world. Here's to hoping Usher kept some of those Kentucky Derby winnings, because the NFL won't be adding any zeroes to his paycheck! 🏆💰 #SuperBowlLVIII #HalftimeShow #UsherMagic #Go49ers #RedwoodAdvisoryGroup

90,000 fans claimed tickets and over 50,000 fans "braved" the rainy weather to participate in our free and open to the public Brave Fest. Here are a few of my take-aways from the 2024 edition: - Asking fans to pre-register themselves to claim tickets was immensely helpful operationally. As those in the business know, "show rate" is the % of ticket purchasers that actually attend the event. Through our modeling on tickets claimed, we knew we had the potential for a huge crowd (would've been even bigger with a sunny day) and we were ready for it. - Driving pre-registrations gave us a treasure trove of data to explore. We are able to re-target fans with ticket offers, discern travel patterns, understand who their favorite players are, and glean other helpful information that will inform our business. Data helps us with our goal of giving fans what they didn't know they wanted. We strive for a constant state of surprise and delight. - The Battery continues to be our superpower. Our commercial real estate district enables and encourages large scale fan participation and attendance. We use every square foot of our property for Braves Fest and as a way to showcase our commercial tenants and our development. All of this adds to the fan multiplier effect we see on game days. Fans with tickets enjoy the game from the Park, fans without tickets enjoy the game from the Battery, and everyone interacts before and after the Braves play. - This event is a great reminder of what I believe "Fan Experience" truly is- the nexus of memory and emotion. Yes, ingress and egress matter, as do line queues and how long it takes a fan to get concessions. Yet, "fan experience" is too often defined with a U/X SaaS mindset that doesn't build or nurture fandom. What does nurture fandom? Having a catch on the field with your daughter. Snapping a picture of your son with his favorite player. Getting instruction from a big league coach. - As our Manager Brian Snitker says in this article, "Braves Country is real." We have millions of fans nationally and across the Southeast. About a million fans (out of a total 3 million +) come through our gates from outside Metro Atlanta. Kids that grew up on the 90s Braves and TBS distribution of games are now parents. Their kids are growing up with this generation of All-Star and MVP caliber players who will be here for years to come. Inter-generational and geographic fandom give us a brand advantage. Pitchers and Catchers report to Spring Training on 2/14. Our season opener is 3/28 and we will open the gates for our home opener at Truist Park on 4/5. Very soon, fans and players will hear "PLAY BALL!" Come see us. Go Braves.

🏈Calling all sports fans! 🏈 Game day is almost here, and we all know it's not just about the touchdowns and field goals – it's about the snacks too! Whether you're rooting for your favorite team or just in it for the halftime show, we want to know: What's your go-to game day snack? 🤔🏟️ Do you reach for classic favorites like buffalo wings and nachos, or do you prefer something a bit more unique like spinach artichoke dip or loaded potato skins? 🤤 Share your ultimate game day munchies in the comments below and let's get this snack showdown started! 🙌 #GameDaySnacks #FoodieFrenzy #TouchdownTreats #cheifs #49ers #superbowl

Star baseball player Corey Seager reinvents his swing everyday... everyday! "Past results don’t mean anything when it comes to future success." How often do all of us in the agency business (me included) get it in auto-pilot mode and are surprised when things don't work out? The marketing world is anything but static, kinda like hitters vs. pitchers. Maybe we should all try to reinvent ourselves and our agencies just a little bit everyday, rather than trying to swing for the fences when it's too late - when the count is no balls, 2 strikes. (Yea, I like sports analogies. Corny, but they work because great athletes work their butts off when no one is watching to stay one step ahead of the competition and to continue to elevate to new heights.)

Join us behind the scenes as Jason DeCaro and I discuss the game-changing impact of players like Vance Honeycutt and Anthony D'Onofrio on the field! Experience the thrill of witnessing stellar defensive plays and unmatched athleticism, elevating the team's performance to new heights. Stay tuned for more updates as these dynamic players continue to leave their mark on the game! #TeamSynergy #DefensiveProwess 🌟

March Madness - Bracketology Chick Yep…. It’s that time of year again…. The frenzied 1st 4 days of the NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament, when it’s pretty-much wall-to-wall, simultaneous games on 4 TV channels, where 64 teams start going at it. It’s a time when our quiet, serene home becomes a seeming war zone, with the TV, iPhones and iPads streaming every possible game, angle and commentary… And printed / marked-up / crumpled-up brackets are strewn around the living room. It’s a yearly moment in time when Renee (my wife and a very, very serious and knowledgeable sports fan) goes temporarily insane… And the raging emotion, joy, anger, elation, screaming, referee conspiracy theories and thrill of victory during the best, nail biting completion of the year… Demonically possesses her. It’s a wonderful time that’s been going-on for decades. I always try to take-off the Thursday and Friday afternoons that make-up the 1st round. To watch the non-stop action and more importantly, to enjoy Renee in rare form (which also happens during the Stanely Cup Playoffs). As we speak, one of her brackets is leading the group (and she won’t shut-up about it)… What’s worse is she’s really, really good at Fantasy Football (back-to-back league champion, etc., but that’s another story, and she won’t shut-up about that either…). Here’s a little video tribute to give you some perspective (turn-up the volume).

Happy Opening Day! Check out this article to get all of your info surrounding today’s events and get ready to help us cheer the reds to their first win of the season! #GoReds #ATOBTTR

March Madness is here, pick your favorite. 30 years watching basketball, and thanks to MAX's series, Winning Time, that portrays the best years of those Magic and Kareem Lakers, I've been able to recall how beautiful the game was back then. Today, I've learned to enjoy NCAA's basketball more because I find their commitment to the game and team more pure, honest, legit, as the street would say. It's in this competition, starting today, where the most competitive basketball there is takes the court. As we gear up for March Madness, it's not just about the thrilling games on the court—it's also a reminder of the competitive edge that drives success, both in sports and in business. The dedication, teamwork, and relentless pursuit of victory showcased by NCAA teams serve as a powerful example of what can be achieved when individuals come together with a shared goal. Just as teams vie for glory on the basketball court, businesses compete in their respective industries, striving to outperform rivals and achieve success. Let's harness the spirit of competition seen in March Madness to drive innovation, collaboration, and success in our own endeavors. Enjoy the games, and may the best team prevail! Starts today, so follow it up and enjoy. My team? I enjoy Cinderella's type of stories, and years back, I enjoyed Gonzaga quite a bit. Now, let's see what they bring, but it seems the glory will be reserved for a top team; my guess is Duke. Tune in and enjoy. https://lnkd.in/eUftrRwT
