This week's Beyond the Highlight case study is about what happens when you decide to show up every single week, no matter what.

Joidon Jennings is the creator of In It to Win It. We sat down with her to break down how she built a career resource by posting 10 curated sports jobs every Friday for 25 weeks straight while working full time. She started, kept going, and refined along the way.

This week's Beyond the Highlight case study is about what happens when five seasons of brand knowledge meet a seven-day deadline.

Donny Brock is the Former Creative Manager at the Seattle Seahawks. We sat down with her to break down how she and her team built a complete Super Bowl LIX creative campaign in seven days, and creating roughly 100 deliverables across social, digital, in-stadium, parade assets, and agency production. The work was possible because the preparation never stopped.

Having the idea is the easy part. This week's Beyond the Highlight is about what it actually takes to bring it to life.

Megan Magiera is the Art Director at Indiana Sports Corp, where she took a vision for a women's creative summit and connected it directly to her organization's goal of making Indianapolis the epicenter of women's sports. That alignment is what got the yes. What came next was two years of building something from nothing, selling sponsors on an event that didn't exist yet, and growing She Creates Sports Summit into a sold-out room with a four-year plan to land at the Women's Final Four in 2028.

This week's Beyond the Highlight case study takes us to the Winter Olympics.

Avery Wright is a Custom Research and Consulting Analyst at Navigate, a data-driven firm operating across sports and entertainment. We sat down with her to break down what it takes to measure a TOP (The Olympic Partner) program sponsorship at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, from pre-event surveys to boots-on-ground research to post-event analysis. The insight she brings back from the field is what helps major brands make smarter decisions with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line.
