Field Position

by Studio West

Sport is played on the field. But the future of sport is built far beyond it. Field Position explores the strategy, storytelling, media and business shaping sport from grassroots clubs to the professional game. Hosted by Dixie Crawford, communication strategist, storyteller, sports enthusiast and relentless camera woman, Field Position goes behind the scoreboard to examine how sporting organisations build brands people care about, grow audiences, create commercial value and turn supporters into genuine communities. We talk brand, content, social media, sponsorship, fan engagement, athlete profiles, leadership, community and sports media and challenge some of the old thinking about how sporting organisations communicate and grow. Because posting isn't a strategy, followers aren't necessarily fans, and attention isn't valuable until you know what to do with it. When done right, strategic content and storytelling build brand equi

  1. Episode 8. The Kit Bag

    Before you buy another camera, lens or piece of gear, ask yourself one question: what job are we trying to do?

  2. Episode 7. The Carnival Content Workflow

  3. Episode 6. Don’t Lose the Audience by Monday

  4. Episode 5. Would a Sponsor Invest in this?

    Take your current sponsorship proposal and remove every logo placement. What’s left? In Episode 5 of The Attention Game, Dixie challenges sporting teams to rethink sponsorship as a commercial exchange, rather than simply asking businesses to help cover the costs of competing. This episode covers:...

  5. Episode 4. Your Tournament Media Machine

    Tournament media gets chaotic quickly. Games run late. Players disappear. You’ve got hundreds of photos to sort, results to publish, interviews to capture and sponsor commitments to deliver all while trying to decide what content actually matters. In Episode 4 of The Attention Game, Dixie breaks...

  6. Episode 3. Give People a Reason to Choose Your Team

    If someone knows nothing about your team, isn't from your town and isn't connected to a player why should they choose to follow you? In Episode 3 of The Attention Game, Dixie explores positioning and how sporting teams can become recognisable for something beyond their logo, jersey or results.…

  7. Episode 2. Your Players Bring Their Audiences With Them

  8. Episode 1. Your Carnival Starts 30 Days Before Kick-Off

    Your tournament doesn't start when you arrive. Your campaign should start 30 days before kick-off. In Episode 1 of The Attention Game, Dixie breaks down how teams can use the lead-up to a tournament to build recognition, introduce their people and give audiences a reason to care before the first...
