3. SPORTS & SNAPCHAT - INTRODUCTION

I WAS WRONG… way back in episode 28 (December 2013) of Sports Geek Podcast I was
way down on Snapchat saying it wasn’t worth the time of sports marketers.
The ability to create compelling stories helped overcome the lack of virility (reposting of
content) that I thought Snapchat needed to fuel growth as that is how other social
networks had grown. The development of the Story Explorer and Live Stories and
subsequent partnerships with sports leagues has seen Snapchat jump to the leading
edge of in-stadium content. No other platform can provide the fan at home with a
broadcast that is so familiar to fans because it is from their point of view. Listen to my
chat with Brooke Eaton from Brooklyn Nets on how much my opinion has changed.

163. Sports Geek Conclusion
Snapchat is a developing platform, what teams need to remember is how it is being
used by their fans. Most users use Snapchat to stay connected with friends via
Snapchat messages not via stories. The key is making your Snapchat story super
compelling, must watch content, if it isn't they won't. Developing your story telling skills
on Snapchat is critical to further develop FOMO and drive more fans to your digital
properties and stadiums. I expect sports to lead the way in innovative content on
Snapchat over the next few years.
The big unknown for Sports industry is how to drive more conversation around game
day as fans will be the best ambassadors on Snapchat. Snapchat doesn't have the RT
that Twitter does or the Share that Facebook does. It is a truly organic social network.
The easiest thing (and laziest in my opinion) is to treat Snapchat as a broadcast
platform. Simple techniques like asking for a screenshot or for fans to send in pictures
will enhance the experience for fans to build closer ties with younger fans that many
brands crave.
