The Future of Fandom

As the world’s biggest brands race to convert their users into fans -- and fans into diehards -- a clear, crucial question stands out: What is the future of fandom? After all, over the past two years, digital accessibility to historically physical events has exploded across work, life, and everything in between. Whether it’s shopping, watching sports, or even taking a cooking class, consumers are no longer satisfied with passive experiences that don’t allow them to feel a sense of empowerment, real-time interaction, or connection. Hybrid is not just the new normal -- it’s table stakes. Society now demands it -- and brands get it! They’re on the clock to keep up with digital-first demand. They’re moving as fast as they can to evolve -- and they’re struggling. So, what is the future of fandom? On this podcast, you’ll get the answer. Tune in to hear about what the world has planned for the next generation of digitally-native users directly from chief executives from some of the world’s most recognizable names in sports, fintech, e-commerce, and beyond. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll predict the future together. Check out The Future of Fandom, a podcast by LiveLike, wherever you get your podcasts. We hope that you become a fan! Hosted by Adam Conner.

    Firework Chief Business Officer Jason Holland on How to Light a Fire Under Next Gen Consumers

    Today on The Future of Fandom, we present the finale for our 2022 run of episodes. And hey, what good is a finale without a little Firework show? On this episode, we explore how Firework envisions the future of truly connected community-based live commerce in partnership with their Chief Business Officer, Jason Holland. Jason thinks like a modern content creator. From a long form, he builds for the short. Discarding the text and display of the past, he sees live and short-form video as the way forward, the only way forward. Since he joined two and a half years ago, the business has taken off like a rocket and exploded onto the scene, boosted by partnerships with major retailers and tech titans in their ranks, and we'll explain more about that in the interview. Today, we'll also discuss how next-gen consumers are embracing live commerce, the future of commerce in Web3, and his vision for an optimal community-driven experience where every voice has a voice. Jason will more than likely have a hand in the future of the way you shop. So, let's finish the year with a bang and predict the future with Firework and Jason Holland.

    US Soccer Chief Commercial Officer David Wright on Making a Pitch for Fans at the World Cup and Beyond

    Today on The Future of Fandom, we get out on the pitch ahead of the World Cup. On this episode we got to sit down with US Soccer to think through their approach to a domestic football fandom, basing the frenzy of international action coming up this winter. And we got to do it through David Wright, who is their Chief Commercial Officer. Did you know that there is more soccer content consumed in the US than any other country around the world? As David can tell you directly, the sport has seen explosive growth over his roughly 20 years of experience with it. And its rise is only continuing to ascend. You'll learn how that's impacted his tactics and approach to the newest generation of fan, the ways in which they innovate, and their plans for 2023 and onward. We also touch on how US Soccer has led the charge in equitable pay and treatment between its men's and women's teams and how it can hopefully serve as a model for other sports. So let's kick it off -- finally, that wordplay makes sense! -- and predict the future with US Soccer and David Wright.

  3. PointsBet SVP Content Liam Roecklein on How to Improve Your Odds of Winning Fans on Social

    PointsBet SVP Content Liam Roecklein on How to Improve Your Odds of Winning Fans on Social

    Today on The Future of Fandom, we get to read a few pages from a sportsbook via a content juggernaut. On this episode we look at PointsBet and the way it innovates within revenue-driven content to grow a responsible diehard following. Joining us on the show will be their Senior Vice President of Content, Liam Roecklein. This isn’t Liam’s first rodeo when it comes to shaking up an industry via content approach. He was previously the first content hire at Cheddar, and saw the brand through its ascent to the pinnacle of financial media. Now, he’s turned his sights to sports gambling as the next space well worth disrupting, and on the show Liam explains how they do that with a “Thrill Bill” mentality. We also talk about how they differentiate their content experience across acquisition platforms to win on social and how to win the newest generations of sports fans, who are increasingly fanatic about individual players rather than teams. Seeing as sports gambling is legal in just 12 states in the US, the fandom yet to come isn’t just fantasy – it’s real and it’s right now. So let’s predict the rest with PointsBet and Liam Roecklein.

    Shopkick EVP Brittany Billings on How to Fuel Fandom from Couch to Cashier

    Today on The Future of Fandom, we dive deep into the behavioral mechanics of purchase. You’ll enjoy an ever-so-slightly nerdy illustration of the next-gen, couch to cashier journey with our guest Brittany Billings. Brittany is the EVP of Marketing & Strategic Markets at Shopkick, and brings some commerce insight to the show that most can’t even provide. When you think about learning who your customer is, most brands will look to their social analytics and their receipt-level purchase data. Not a whole lot is captured, at least with true attribution, about their interim activity, that which happens between the couch and the cashier. But Brittany actually does thanks to Shopkick’s rewards-based platform, and today we chat about how something as simple as watching a video or simply walking into a store is, and should be, rewarded. As someone who’s worked previously in retail and CPG analytics, this host can tell you that what we describe on the show is truly next-gen, and hopefully you get a glimpse into what the future of commerce holds. So kick back and listen in as we predict the future with Shopkick and Brittany Billings. Check out The Future of Fandom, a podcast by LiveLike, wherever you get your podcasts.

    StockX CMO Deena Bahri on the Next Gen Experience and How to Own It

    Today on The Future of Fandom, we deep dive into the next gen experience – and how to Own It. On this episode we take a look at StockX and how it stays ahead of the curve, and even ahead of its brand partners, in this realm of consumer connection via their Chief Marketing Officer, Deena Bahri. StockX is known for sneakers, streetwear, accessories, collectibles and everything in between. It’s also been able to harness hype and build an ocean of fans drop by drop – and today Deena chats about how they stay close to next-gen consumers in the physical, digital, and "phygital" worlds. I said “Own It” at the beginning for a reason – it’s StockX’s new brand platform, and they hope it will layer another critical element of the next-gen consumer into their own experience: the desire, and the need, to belong as an individual. We explore that more deeply as well. Deena’s been on the cutting edge for years, and over the next half hour, you’ll see why. So let’s collab for a little while and predict the future with StockX and Deena Bahri.

    talkshoplive CEO and Co-Founder Bryan Moore: Let's Get Shoppable!

    Today on The Future of Fandom, we’re live! Well, not really, but we talk a lot about being live. On this episode we learn about the ever-evolving world of live shopping and commerce, thanks to the perspective of talkshoplive and its CEO and co-founder, Bryan Moore. As you probably know, this world of live shopping was started on television years and years ago. While live streamed content became more popular across sectors like gaming and then more broadly, Bryan was studying trends in the far East to learn about how the discipline was trickling into shopping. What’s resulted is a sharp focus on creating the best shopping experience possible – one which is interactive, always-on, and available wherever you are. Since 2018, Bryan has been shifting those trends westward and has brought along mega-talent and merchant partners to combine customers and fandoms in unique experiences which we’ll touch on today. Of course, as always, we’ll also leverage his perspective on how far we’ve come to get a glimpse at what the future of live commerce will be – plus, we’ll expand on why every brand should leverage live content as a pillar of its strategy. That’s something we agreed on long before ever meeting. So let’s talk shop, so to speak, and predict the future with talkshoplive and Bryan Moore.

    Rally Co-Founder Rob Petrozzo on How to Let Your Superfans Tell Your Story

    Today on The Future of Fandom, we explore how to let super fans tell your story for you. On this episode, we take a look at Rally and how it creates shareable experiences for its investors and die-hards, all with the help of Rob Petrozzo, their Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer. We've chatted with a few fintechs and investing brands on this show. You know that. We know that. But Rob is a true modern day pioneer of the belief that anything can be an investment. So he's seen the best and the worst of the trends within alternatives, and he's had a front row seat to the ways regulation impacts the ways financial brands can tell their stories, not that, that stops him. Rally has developed a cult following. And with a little experience tinkering and a lot of shareable moments, Rob has managed to steer his community into a frenzy whenever they get in on the investing action. We chat about this particular strength and how the future relies on that critical muscle, no matter who you are. So let's be super now and predict the future with Rally and Rob Petrozzo.
