"It's Called Football"

Tne goal was to create a a series that would introduce Premier League Football (aka, soccer) to NBC Sports Network's American audience. A secondary goal was to capture a young audience for NBCSN, to bring those young soccer-loving viewers over to the network.
​
The way to get the young fans was simple - use talent that they already love and follow on social media, and we found our hosts in The F2 Freestylers, Billy and Jeremy.
​
My responsibilities were to develop, write and produce the series on a $500,000+ production budget, filmed on location in England. I led the creative vision, collaborated with some of the world’s top football clubs, and led the international crew on location..
​
In addition to creating the show and running the set, I also executed a social-first marketing campaign, which to this day includes some of NBC Sports most viewed online videos.
