Hey, look at that, I've produced a new podcast episode!
Good to get back into the swing of podcasting again, I hope you enjoy my chat with?St Louis Blues' Matt Gardner on digital, campaigns and storytelling .
If you listen to the podcast I share my reasons and experience running for the Collingwood FC board.?As a life-long fan, I'd be honoured to represent the Collingwood members on the board and more importantly give digital a seat at the table which I think is vital for all sports organisations.??You can learn more about my nomination here , voting closes on Dec 10, so if you know a Collingwood member or fan please send them my way.?I appreciate the support I have received so far.
If you'd like some help on a campaign or platform strategy, my?2-Hour Pick My Brain sessions ?are perfect for that, I'm hosting one today with an exciting startup looking to help teams better engage fans at games and at home.
As always if I can help you please reach out.

Using - Twitter Blue
Given I have built a business, network and even met my partner on Twitter (ask me for that story when we meet up ) I thought I'd give Twitter Blue a go. Primarily I was enticed by the Top Articles feature which came from the acquisition of Nuzzel which was a tool we used to curate this newsletter as it highlights what articles people are tweeting. It still needs work but it is useful. The Undo/Edit tweet functionality is really delay sending tweet so it is useless. Thread reader is useful (we used to just call them blogs) but it probably needs a few more features to be worth it.
