EP-294 Le'Veon Bell, Antonio Brown & Athlete Marketability

Things are less than harmonious with the Pittsburgh Steelers as best running back in football Le'Veon Bell will not sign his contract, and Antonio Brown just tweeted "Trade me let's find out." Keith Stoeckeler, Vice President and Group Director of Digital for MKTG, joins Rob Cressy to talk about athlete marketability. Are number one running backs as marketable as they should be (ex. Todd Gurley, David Johnson). What effect does social media have on the marketability of an athlete (ex. Antonio Brown vs Dez Bryant.) Is Le'Veon Bell becoming less marketable by not playing for the Steelers or is his decision smart from a long term standpoint? - In each episode of The Sports Marketing Huddle, Rob Cressy, Founder of Bacon Sports, gives a forward-thinking perspective on some of the hottest topics in the world of sports marketing and then gives actionable advice on how you can implement it into your business.Our goal of the podcast is to create the best sports marketing podcast and take The Sports Marketing Huddle up to #1 on iTunes.
