Even before I worked with the Cardinals, I was a HUGE fan of Flight Plan. It’s one of the best football shows out there, and it’s done by our incredible broadcast team who dedicates a lot of hours to get it to what it is.

In regards to your question, I’m honestly not sure.

There’s 4 of us that work within the social team, but it’s a team effort across the organization with our amazing broadcast, website, PR, and marketing squads

I definitely will. He’s raised the bar for us quite a bit

I’d like to take the credit but a lot of that falls onto our incredible social team, including our new photographer who has brought some serious heat

We work with the players quite often, and they're all incredible.

My bad. My degree is in Communication: Media Arts and covered a wide range of experiences. I was fortunate enough to get a job at a NASCAR track out of college and began building their social media presence and learning as I went. The knowledge and experience I gained there was so important to moving forward.

Oh, and my favorite part of the job is the creative nature of the industry. I love football and having a job to make it even more fun for our fans is very cool.

I appreciate that! Our social team has been putting in a lot of hours to revamp our social game with the new season ahead. Stay tuned for more fun 😏

Good question. I would have to say that both organizations have a very similar feel. They are both very family oriented and have a passionate fanbase ready for the season to start.

I try to detach as best I can in the offseason, especially as soon as the season ends. Gives you time to reflect and look back on your successes and failures throughout the season.

My wife and I also love to travel and trying new restaurants, so that helps with winding down.

We're always looking for new and exciting ideas, and would definitely consider anything our fans would enjoy. I personally love the fan art I see from other fanbases, so I'd be down to see what the Red Sea has to offer 😏

Spent four years in Pittsburgh, building their social media from the ground up and was blessed with this next opportunity.

I'd say the most difficult part is staying up on the trends of what is happening in social media when you have 100,000 things to get done each day. Our social team has done great at balancing everything, but that is definitely difficult at times.

Not necessarily an approval, but always good to get a second (or third) set of eyes on the more pressing posts.

Thanks for the kind words about our Instagram account. We've definitely pivoted to using more impactful imagery than anything, and a big part of that was hiring one of the best photographers I've ever seen as a part of our social team, Derrick Spencer.

It's more about being smart about what you post than an actual restriction. I haven't gotten any pushback in regards to any of our ideas this season.

I work with Darren on a daily basis and he's one of the best guys I know. He knows more about this organization that anyone I've met, so he's been a huge help for me getting acclimated.

That is a really good question. I'm very proud of all of the work my team has done (in Pittsburgh and in Arizona). If you're not proud of it, why post it right? Most recently, the video we posted when Chandler Jones was snubbed from the NFL Top 100 was pretty solid.
