Lucy Albers

Join us where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain as we journey to Oklahoma and chat with Lucy Albers, Director of Marketing & PR for Paycom Center, home to the Oklahoma City Thunder. With plans in motion, we dive into talking about the new arena coming to OKC in 2028, its unique design, and what to expect from the exciting addition – which is slated to open the same year the city hosts two Olympic events. We talk about the success of the Thunder and how the venue not only hosts the NBA team but also their G League affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue. Lucy breaks down her team, which oversees marketing and PR for all non-Thunder events. We talk about how Lucy began her career in Sioux Falls, South Dakota wanting to be a music writer and help people discover bands and how that evolved into writing gigs with magazines and bands and her first experience at a venue, where she cut her teeth. We learn about her background on the ticketing side which eventually moved to marketing and led to her current role in OKC. Lucy talks about her decision to become a Solo Mother by Choice and how she balances work and home life while also offering support for others considering the same choice.
