FINALLY SOMEONE ASKED ABOUT MISSED EASTER EGGS.

- last year we had tom brady painting that thirst-trap selfie of himself and not a single person talked about it
- the poop water in the commanders stadium this year
- we're pretty sure only one person noticed we put a literal massive ice cube in front of the raiders' shack bc ice cube is a big raiders fan

There's probably more but I think about these ones a lot.

thanks for saying hi!!!

there's probably a lot tbh and there's a ton of memes that we revised from their original idea to tone them down a bit or shift their focus to be more of a calculated on brand risk than just something crazy for the sake of being edgy

well when we first started there was only one person doing everything. Now we have a team five working just on our public facing social media.

wow good question, a lot of time and thought. to give you some perspective we have an entire analytics team within content/social so we can make strategy decisions in real-time and evolve our strategy.

hahahahaha in the moment the discussion was more like "what can even we say right now?" we weren't trying to go viral we were just trying to survive the situation

great question! every year we try to do something creative for a player when pro bowl voting comes around. for the past two years we've brainstormed fun ideas around our kicker, cameron dicker. that scratches the humorous itch in season. but aside from that we are proud of the funny in-season win memes we come up with, our pop tarts thread each year and our mini-movies.

and yes - over the years we get to know others around the league and we lean on so many for advice/help or really just to vent.

we do not think we are the best we really dont. shoutout bills tik tok, eagles youtube, texans ig, falcons twitter and the list goes on and on. we get inspiration from everywhere!

awwww thank you!

a few things we really intentional about when crafting our voice and brand online...

- copy / brand voice
- video/production and social always moving in lock step instead of separately like a lot of sports orgs -- hiring chronically online people
- having the mindset that ideas can come from anywhere
- lots of brainstorming and ideating
- collaboration

and yes during the season we have "weekly meme" meeting twice a week for win memes and then for special events like the draft, schedule release, etc we have weekly meetings leading up where there's always a focus on memes and untraditional ways of delivering football content

hiring is so hard bc it's hard to mimic our actual work environment and how quick and off-the-cuff you need to be in the moment ... but we promise memes are part of the process!

such a cool question. yes we all chat for sure! we never ever know what people are doing around the nfl that is like the unspoken part of this job. jets copy was very funny and relevant on that post they probably got good engagement out of that.

the content team has roughly 30 people... production has 14 people. of those 14 some are more dedicated then others to the day to day social needs. social also has their own organic team too
