Greg Bobolo Joins ProSmart as EVP, Sports Content and Media
Kelowna, British Columbia (FSCwire) - ProSmart Enterprises Inc. (TSXV: PROS) (“ProSmart” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Greg Bobolo has agreed to become the Company’s EVP, Sports Content and Media. Greg has a reputation as a visionary in the sports media and advertising markets and he and his companies have won major awards including, Ernst and Young entrepreneur of the year, the TOP 40 under 40 and # 4 in the PROFIT 500 fastest growing marketing companies.
Greg has led 3 successful startups in the media space. Most recently, Greg made a mark as CEO of STN Sports, showcasing the latent, under-appreciated value of sports video highlights. Over the past decade, Greg turned a small pre-revenue start-up into the largest professional sports video syndication businesses in the world. The company served all major sports MLB, NASCAR, NFL, The PGA Tour and 70 other major sports leagues as an exclusive rights holder and syndicator to major linear television network .coms (CBS, FOX Sports, NBC Sports) and major newspaper .coms (USA today, LA times, NY Post +1300). STN Sports has a viewership of over 2.4 billion and is rated on Comscore’s top 30 companies in the world for video.
Over the coming months, Greg will be focused on refining ProSmart’s content, media approaches and solutions, including creating a licensing and rights strategy. Greg has a number of deliverables and KPIs in the short term and will be critical to ProSmart’s sales efforts in securing content partnerships and community member acquisition.
Says Greg Bobolo, “I am extremely excited to join this incredibly accomplished team of ex-professional athletes, technology and business executives. ProSmart offers a unique value proposition. It has evolved from an e-learning platform and now addresses several key market gaps including providing a clever last-mile connection to coveted fan bases. There is a very compelling co-creation of value going on that every team and league will want to be a part of.”
Alan Schuler, CEO of ProSmart adds, “Greg’s relationships and experience fit perfectly with what ProSmart is trying to do, thus we expect him to make a big impact on our partner and community member relationships. Greg is an excellent complement to the media expertise of our previously announced strategic growth partner, Accelerated Growth Partners (“AGP”). Between Greg and AGP, we expect to have many doors opened and have more targeted and meaningful discussions, ultimately leading to a more aggressive roll-out of partnerships with pro teams, leagues, brands, sponsors, causes and media companies.”
