You’re invited to Arena Office Hours: What Actually Drives Fan Growth Today (And What Doesn’t).

  • Friday, April 3

  • 1pm - 1:45pm ET

  • Live on Zoom

In conversation with Arena Member:

Joe Sargent, former Director of Integrated Marketing & Fan Experience at Atlanta Dream (WNBA). Experience across Kansas City Chiefs (NFL) and MillerCoors, working at the intersection of brand, partnerships, and fan strategy.

Fan behavior is shifting, channels are fragmented, and traditional growth playbooks aren’t delivering the same results. Teams and brands are being forced to rethink how they approach audience, engagement, and long-term value.

This session is designed to step back and look at how executives are actually thinking about growth today.

What we’ll cover:

  • How teams & brands are approaching fan growth right now

  • Executing campaigns that actually move the needle

  • Driving revenue and building fan-first strategies

  • Q&A with an executive who’s worked across professional teams and brands

This session is most relevant for:

  • Marketing, brand, and fan engagement leaders and decision-makers

  • Executives responsible for audience growth and strategy

  • Professionals thinking beyond campaigns and into long-term fan value

Why Arena hosts these conversations

Most conversations about what’s actually working happen behind closed doors.

Arena Office Hours brings those perspectives into a smaller, curated setting - led by Arena Members - so you can hear how leaders are thinking and ask the questions you don’t get to ask elsewhere.
