Working with the Sport Social on Inside Track was great. The team are friendly, professional and inspired confidence in the whole production. They’re editorial guidance through the creation of the podcast was invaluable and they clearly know how to make great content that sports fans want to hear!

When we began speaking to Sport Social there was an immediate synergy, and it was clear that they 'got' us and offered the necessary skills to help us develop our audio content production and strategy. We worked on a partnership that brought together the best skills from both parties and improved the level and quantity of the club's audio offering, whilst also helping us find a commercial return for the first time, through advertising revenue.

I already knew utilising audio as part of an inclusive spectator experience strategy is a great way to engage a different audience and was determined to work with Sport Social in my capacity as Creative Director for WGC. The Sport Social team have been fabulous to work with always positive and eager to deliver
