Recorded live at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, this special episode of The Think Tank from Essentially Esports dives into the booming growth of women’s sports.
The Think Tank show is where industry leaders—CMOs, brand strategists, team executives, elite athletes, and coaches—break down the forces shaping the sports world.
In this exclusive episode, Host Trey Holder teams up with co-host Angella Goran, a former Canadian National Team cyclist and entrepreneur, alongside Feisty Media CEO and two-time Ironman champion Sara Gross and Naomi Clarkson, Senior VP of Marketing at Momentous. Together, they explore how strategic marketing and media initiatives are not just increasing visibility but also driving real investment and long-term growth in women’s athletics.
The panel dives into key factors fueling the rise, including:
- The power of authentic storytelling to elevate both athletes and brands
- Strategic partnerships that create meaningful industry impact
- Smart resource allocation, backed by data proving the success of women’s sports initiatives
- Community-driven events like The Power Hour, designed to promote physical and mental wellness
- Continued media coverage with new product launches, podcasts, and educational resources
More than just a conversation, this episode is a call to action, highlighting the need for collaboration, ongoing support, and a shared responsibility to champion inclusivity and equality in sports.
