A8: Any type of Adobe Suite skill is critical. Also being able to be both a thinker and a doer. Many can do things or be told what to do and execute, not many can take it a step further and build a strategy behind the execution. #SMStudentChat

A6: One of the biggest challenges is that there are so many different ways for fans to consume sports media these days, so finding the ways to stick out above the crowd is what everyone is chasing. #SMStudentChat

A6: I think the biggest things is trying to own the audience they have. Every team is different and expect different things, yet many take similar approaches. The challenges are finding ways to stand out and do it for the fans and not for the industry.
