University of Louisville Associate Athletic Director for Marketing Lottie Stockwell joins From The Pink Seats Podcast for “Controllable Surprises.”
No one in the sporting world was prepared for the changes and lasting impact that the pandemic would bring, and I mean no one. On this week’s episode of From The Pink Seats Podcast, the guys sat down with UofL’s Athletic Director for Marketing, Lottie Stockwell, to chat about the change COVID has caused for the Cards’ athletic department, the past & future of Louisville football, and so much more.
Despite the flaws on the football field, getting fans back in seats and back in the stadium for live events has been a massive undertaking. On top of that, Lottie has been charged with shaping marketing campaigns, putting together new events & experiences for fans, increasing overall engagement, all while leading special projects like the Lamar Jackson number retirement. During the episode, she talks about what all has gone into the first “back to normal” season behind the scenes, why the focus has been on adding extra value for fans, and how 2022 + spring football will be different.
