Sam Carp and Richard Gillis: taking care of business

SportsPro head of editorial Sam Carp and Unofficial Partner founder Richard Gillis explore the role and challenges of the sports industry media. 

They discuss changes in the sector’s relationship with its audience – specialists and casual alike – across platforms like events and podcasts and amid greater mainstream coverage. 

And as April’s SportsPro London event aims to address ‘the reality of sport, right now’, they ask how conversations about the sports business are shaped by competing incentives and perspectives – from enthusiastic sellers to alienated fans. 

SportsPro London will be held at the Kia Oval on 29th and 30th April. Click here to find out more.
