  • Summary

  • From the 313 to the 303, we’re chatting with Omar Gates, Marketing & Advertising Coordinator for the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche at Kroenke Sports & Entertainment in Denver. After chatting with Omar about Denver and some exciting development plans announced recently, we dive into his history in the industry which led him from a passion for sports and a bachelor’s degree in economics at University of Missouri to a boot camp with the Marcus Graham Project. After landing an internship with the Detroit Pistons, his hometown team, Omar cut his teeth on advertising and marketing before heading out to Denver earlier this year for his current role. We talk shop and strategies about email marketing best practices, how to use data and analytics, SMS marketing, AI applications, and the importance of looking beyond traditional ROI. We talk about what it was like attending and being a panel moderator at his first EVMC conference this past June, where we met him, and how it gave him an opportunity for growth. Enjoy this great perspective of someone earlier in their industry career who talks about the importance of mentorship, embracing challenges, and looking for ways to grow.
