So what’s it like to build a new sports brand from scratch? I’ve talked on this podcast about the importance of creating a compelling brand story, identifying your audience, and developing hooks for emotional connections. It’s all very well and good in the abstract, but what’s it like to actually put all of those pieces together in the real world?
Kevin Donovan is the founder and president of the Tour of America, a new cycling race that Kevin is in the process of getting off the ground. It’s a new sports brand with a strong purpose and point of view, and Kevin was kind enough to talk about his experience and what he’s learned. Enjoy the show!
