Podcasts about fan engagement

Michael Sorg and Katie Dudas are joined by Sam Eitzen, CEO of Snapbar, for a deep dive into how artificial intelligence is changing experiential marketing, trade shows, conferences, brand activations, and the humble photo booth. Sam explains how Snapbar evolved from physically hauling hundreds of photo booths to events into building a web-based platform that lets brands create interactive experiences accessible from an iPad, touchscreen, QR code, or an attendee's own phone. What started as a necessary pandemic pivot has developed into AI photo experiences, highly personalized AI Stories, and new ways for brands to combine entertainment with lead generation. The conversation also gets beyond the AI hype. Sam discusses the unpredictability of image models, why prompt engineering still requires humans, how Snapbar tests and switches between different AI models, and why brands need to understand that generative AI is not simply automated Photoshop. Snapbar's system remains cloud-based, meaning connectivity and third-party model reliability are still real considerations for live events. Topics and products discussed: What experiential marketing actually means: Sam distinguishes traditional broadcast and digital advertising from interactive marketing designed to bring the audience into the experience through participation. Snapbar's origin story: The company began as a side-gig photo booth business before moving from weddings into conferences, trade shows, sporting events, product launches, festivals, and other B2B activations. The pandemic pivot: When physical events disappeared in 2020, a client asked whether Snapbar could bring its photo experiences online. That request became the foundation of the company's current web-based platform. World Cup fan activations: Sam describes branded soccer experiences that let attendees transform themselves into stylized or animated fans and players without improperly copying team intellectual property. QR codes instead of long lines: Experiences can run on event iPads while also letting thousands of attendees participate from their own phones by scanning a QR code. Understanding the audience: A soccer activation that works at the World Cup may flop at a legal conference. Sam says cybersecurity audiences, for example, often respond particularly well to gaming, fantasy, and trading-card concepts. Digital experiences as event swag: The group discusses whether personalized digital content can become an alternative to another pile of branded pens, bottles, and promotional giveaways. Snapbar's planned digital spinner wheel: Sam explains a digital version of the familiar trade-show prize wheel with customizable branding, prize probabilities, inventory management, QR control, redemption codes, and lead capture. The rise of the AI photo booth: Early image generation was unreliable, producing extra arms, heads, and other artifacts. As models improved, AI photo experiences became one of Snapbar's biggest products. AI Stories: Snapbar adds Mad Libs-like personalization to AI-generated experiences, allowing attendees to influence the resulting scene while brands maintain controls over the experience. Taking event tech into unusual environments: Sam recalls activations at music festivals, on boats, and experiences that attendees could even access while traveling because everything is web-based. Working across AI providers: Rather than building its own image models, Snapbar evaluates available third-party systems and can shift between models depending on prompt adherence, realism, animation style, and client needs. Why testing matters: AI models can regress or behave differently after updates. Snapbar's team tests experiences ahead of events, attempts to break them, adjusts prompts, and can intervene while an activation is live. Treat AI like a new team member: Sam suggests thinking of AI less like an infallible machine and more like a new employee that needs context, supervision, defined permissions, and an understanding of what it does well. AI is not automated Photoshop: Clients sometimes expect pixel-perfect control, but generative systems still involve prompting, probabilities, and outputs that cannot always be completely dictated. Why AI may not magically fix event networking: Sam pushes back on the idea that feeding hobbies and job titles into an AI matchmaking system automatically creates meaningful human connections. Event attendees ultimately want genuine personal and professional connection. The danger of easy AI startups: AI makes prototypes and products dramatically easier to build, but that also means competitors can build similar products just as quickly. Distribution becomes the advantage: Sam argues that customer relationships, audience access, SEO/AEO, reputation, and reaching the right buyers become even more important when everyone has access to powerful AI tools.

Reminiscing our youth days before reacting to Nielsen's CFB fandom index.

How do you give sports fans deeper insight into a live match without covering the action with statistics they never asked for? Two years ago, I spoke with Patrick Mostboeck in episode 2788, How Sportradar Are Revolutionizing Sports with AI. Patrick returns to Tech Talks Daily as Senior Vice President of Fan Engagement at Sportradar for a timely conversation during the U.S. Open about how AI and real-time sports data are changing the way fans follow a match. We begin with the move from scores, schedules, and basic statistics to thousands of data points that can describe what is happening on the court or field. Patrick explains that the value comes from context. In tennis, ball position, shot type and player movement can reveal patterns around fatigue, court positioning and momentum that may be difficult to see from the television picture alone. AI can process those signals quickly enough to help broadcasters and digital services explain why a match may be changing. That creates an obvious temptation to show everything. Patrick is candid about the lesson Sportradar has learned from putting products in front of users: less is often more. A product team may want to display every feature it has built, while the fan simply wants to understand the action. The technology works best when the improvement feels natural and the viewer does not have to fight through a stream of graphics. We also consider the second screen. Many of us now watch sport with a phone or tablet nearby, checking other scores, following another match or looking for an explanation of a moment we have just seen. Patrick argues that media companies and rights holders can support those habits by offering different routes into the same event. A first time tennis viewer may need immediate context, while a fan who has watched the sport for 25 years may want deeper performance data. Personalization can serve both groups without taking away the shared experience of live sport. Patrick explains how Sportradar's 4Sight combines 3D data visualization, contextual data, and real-time insight inside live streams. The aim is to identify relevant moments and provide a clear narrative rather than add graphics for their own sake. He also describes official sports data as infrastructure that rights holders can actively develop and commercialize across media, advertising, coaching analytics and other services. For organizations wondering where to begin, Patrick offers a practical sequence. Start with the fans and identify the information they value before and during an event. Assess the quality and history of the data already available. Then speak with partners who understand how that information can support useful products and sustainable commercial models. We close by discussing prediction. Better data can help systems model possible outcomes for fans, media teams and coaches, but sport still retains the uncertainty that makes it worth watching. Will predictive insight deepen our appreciation of the action, or could too much information remove some of its magic? Listen to the conversation and share your thoughts with me.

EPISODE 522 Justin Behr from ECU Marketing & Fan Engagement on upcoming Football plans by Pirate Radio 92.7FM Greenville

Key Takeaways Solgari's leading innovations: Grant explains that Solgari provides a customer engagement platform built on Azure that extends Microsoft Teams and Dynamics 365 (as well as other CRMs) to capture customer conversations and centralize that data for better engagement. Customers are adopting it to quickly solve specific engagement challenges, gain fast ROI, and apply it to AI strategies to drive more intelligent business outcomes. AI's role in customer engagement: Companies that centralize customer conversations into a single data platform gain an advantage because AI is only as effective as the data it can access. Grant says customer engagement is "ground zero for AI" as it enables capabilities like automation, sentiment analysis, and sales or service intelligence that improve customer satisfaction, reduce costs, and deliver measurable ROI. Use case: Grant shares details on Solgari's involvement with AMB Sports & Entertainment, who own the Atlanta Falcons. Solgari helped them unify fan engagement across voice, SMS, email, and WhatsApp within Microsoft Teams and Dynamics 365, creating a repository of fan conversations in Dataverse. By consolidating this data, AMB Sports & Entertainment is now well positioned to "create momentum around their AI strategy." Final thoughts: In closing, Grant shares why Solgari has shifted its customer and partner conversations away from product demos and toward business outcomes, showing how customer engagement data can evolve into valuable AI use cases over time.

Making a Scene Presents - The Artist Revenue Ladder: How Indie Artists Turn Free Fans Into Real Income Over Time There is a dangerous lie floating around the music business, and it has been sold to indie artists for years. The lie says that if enough people hear your music, the money will somehow show up later. Get more streams. Get more followers. Get more likes. Get more views. Feed the machine. Keep posting. Keep begging the algorithm to notice you. Keep hoping that one day a stranger in a boardroom or a playlist editor behind a locked digital curtain will point at your song and say, “This one.” That is not a business plan. That is a lottery ticket with a guitar strap. http://www.makingascene.org

Recorded live at SocialWest 2026 in Calgary, Jeff Aylen, Vice President of Marketing and Brand for the Vancouver Whitecaps, joins host Lindsay Smith to talk about what it really takes to build a fanbase that sticks around long after the final whistle.Jeff shares how the Whitecaps went from struggling to fill 12,000 seats in 2021 to selling out 50,000-person stadiums in 2024, and why that turnaround had as much to do with a strategic pivot toward relationship building as it did with what was happening on the pitch.He breaks down how the team uses data and performance marketing to amplify emotional moments, how they scenario plan for seasons when the results aren't going their way, what FIFA 2026 means for the long-term growth of soccer in Canada, and why building mini-pitches across BC matters more to the Whitecaps than any single World Cup bump.Because fans aren't acquired. They're built.Edited and produced by the incredible team at Takt.

Making a Scene Presents - Fan Loyalty Is Becoming The New Currency of the Music Industry The Future of the Music Business Will Not Be Built on Likes For years, independent artists were told to chase attention as if attention alone was a business plan. Get more followers, get more likes, get more views, get more streams, post more videos, feed the machine, stay visible, and hope the algorithm decides to smile on you for a few minutes. That became the daily routine for thousands of artists who were already writing songs, recording music, booking shows, selling merch, and trying to keep their creative lives alive. http://www.makingascene.org

Cardano Foundation has partnered with the Brazilian Olympic Committee on a three-year roadmap focused on sports innovation, and this episode breaks down why that matters beyond the headline. Peter walks through the practical use cases being discussed, including digital identity, certification, fan engagement, equipment tracking, and on-chain governance.Rather than treating this as vague adoption theatre, the episode looks at where blockchain may genuinely fit within sporting institutions, especially when legacy systems are fragmented, paper-based, or difficult to audit. It is an early-stage pilot, but it offers a concrete example of how public blockchain infrastructure could be tested in a real-world national organisation.Key Takeaways:- The partnership is framed as a three-year roadmap between Cardano Foundation and the Brazilian Olympic Committee, not a one-off marketing announcement.- The four main areas discussed are identity and certification, fan engagement, equipment tracking, and on-chain governance.- Digital identity is one of the clearest use cases because therapists, facilitators, and staff could carry portable verified credentials across venues and events.- NFT-based fan engagement could enable ticketing, access control, collectibles, and direct on-chain rewards without relying on traditional account systems.- Supply-chain style tracking for sporting equipment could improve visibility, reduce loss, and make logistics easier across multiple locations.- The governance angle is still early, but transparent voting and funding decisions are a natural area for blockchain experimentation inside sporting bodies.- Peter's broader view is that blockchain is often easiest to introduce where processes are still inefficient or only partly digitised.Links & References:- x.com: https://link.learncardano.io/FI3qpg- https://link.learncardano.io/O4QES6- x.com: https://link.learncardano.io/hA8ejv- x.com: https://link.learncardano.io/cHnUwyWebsite: https://link.learncardano.io/bQ68RcX/Twitter: https://link.learncardano.io/3a1QtvDisclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only.

In an era dominated by high-definition home entertainment and endless digital distractions, what does it take to convince a fan that a live, in-person experience is not just worth their time and money, but is something they can't afford to miss? Agility requires not just having a plan, but building a system to listen and respond to your audience in real time. It's about turning feedback from a retrospective report into an in-the-moment action plan. Following the recent Qualtrics X4 Summit in Seattle, we're going to talk about what it takes to engineer a world-class fan experience. We'll explore how a legacy brand moves beyond the traditional event model to create personalized, memorable moments, and how they use real-time data not just to measure satisfaction, but to proactively shape the fan journey from the moment someone buys a ticket to long after they've left the course.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Zach Carlson, Director of Fan Engagement at PGA TOUR.

Tom and Mikey are lifelong friends that grew up on Long Island during the glory days of alternative music where our local bands were As Tall As Lions, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Sleeping, Envy on the Coast, you get the point. We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom!

As we got older we realized we can like more than one thing and running beside our love for music has always been our love for hockey. We have realized we are not alone in this thinking, actually there are many of us that love these two things! This podcast explores just how connected they are!NEW EPISODE EVERY TUESDAY!

Welcome back to Bringin' It Backwards, the podcast where rising and legendary artists share their real stories and spill the secrets behind their journeys to stardom. In this episode, Adam welcomes back singer-songwriter Cate Turner for an unprecedented fourth appearance—making her the reigning record holder for most visits to the show! Cate first joined us in 2021, and since then, her story has been anything but stagnant. We pick right up where we left off, diving into the whirlwind of the last few years: the release of her two-part EP, the deeply personal aftermath of losing her father, her transition from a major label to full independence, and how all of that shaped her music and identity as an artist. With Cate's signature honesty and humor, she talks about the reality of leaving Atlantic Records—what it means to no longer have the safety net (and, yes, the “Amex-wielding father” label experience), and the freeing but terrifying process of steering her own ship. Cate opens up about finding her confidence as an independent artist, the strategy behind splitting her album into two EPs, and the challenges of writing and releasing music after such a loss. We get into the nitty gritty—how she decided which songs went where, the vulnerable themes in tracks like “I Might,” and why fan connection at live shows means more than any streaming statistic. Cate also shares her no-nonsense advice for aspiring artists: get out of your own head and trust yourself, even when everything feels uncertain. If you're an independent musician, someone who's gone through loss, or just a fan of Cate's refreshingly self-aware songwriting, you won't want to miss this conversation. So, tune in, hear Cate drop some real talk, and let her story inspire your own journey. And as always, be sure to subscribe, follow @BringinBackPOD, and check out the full episode wherever you get your podcasts.
