Today’s guest on the WorkInSports Podcast is the Milwaukee Bucks’ Hollis Brown. She serves as the team’s Coordinator of Partner Strategy and Management. Brown joined the Bucks as a Sales Associate in 2021, right as the Bucks were starting their NBA Championship run. Her day-to-day includes fulfilling sponsorship contracts with the Bucks’ clients with traditional media assets, digital and social media platform promotion, and in-game experiences.

Brown also co-hosts Outnumbered, a podcast dedicated to helping young professionals start their sports careers. Additionally, she was named Miss Wisconsin 2022. She joins WorkInSports VP of Marketing and Engaged Learning Brian Clapp to discuss:

• Her career journey from interning at her alma mater Virginia Tech to ESPN and, eventually, the Milwaukee Bucks
• How she dealt with having her position at ESPN contracted during COVID to land on her feet in her current role
• What skills she learned that ultimately led to a promotion within the Bucks’ organization in seven months
• Her advice for people trying to get their career in sports started
