EMPTY STADIUMS

One of the changes sports have had to adapt during the global pandemic is empty seats, and sometimes completely empty stadiums. Keeping the media and public up to date with changing conditions has been a full-time activity for PR teams.
The 2020 Olympics was an example of how sports organisations have had to adapt quickly to fast-changing circumstances. For a start, they had to move the 2020 Olympics to 2021. Due to the pandemic they also had to wait until the very last minute to decide if they would allow spectators. The Olympics has been facing the same issues as many sporting organisations and teams the world over.
The importance of established media relations
The organising committees of the Olympic games used their established media relations to amplify their messages worldwide in almost real time. Without these relationships, messaging would have been slower and confused. This is just once example of the importance of building and maintaining media relations for sporting organisations.
The role of a media centres today
Traditionally a media centre is where you parked your media releases. It was a bit like that small storage room at a stadium that was rarely visited and poorly maintained. They're poorly suited to the 24/7 sporting news cycle we live into today. Lookatmedia™ is more like a brand-new stadium, where media-friendly content is on full views. Where different content types work together to enhance overall PR performance.
