Bryan Srabian is the VP of Digital Media & Brand Development at the San Francisco Giants. He also teaches a Sports Master Program (Sports and Social Media Marketing) at the University of San Francisco. 

He’s been called a Social Media Trailblazer and a Digital Guru, but back when we met in 2014 the way I described him after talking with him for 10 minutes was “Wow. Bryan just gets it!”. 

On this episode, Bryan sheds some knowledge on the industry with topics like:

  • Facebook's Killing of Organic Reach For Brand Pages
  • His fascination with the HQ Trivia gamification model
  • Sports Fans and the Instagram Algorithm Issue
  • Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat (which platform sees the most engagement for Giants fans)
  • How do you measure success internally on social media?
  • With so many brands trying to get attention. How should brands cut through the noise?
  • Original Content (Can the SF Giants become just as lucrative as a MTV, FX, ESPN 2)
  • What brands in space are "doing it right" on social
  • How valuable can the Giants social feeds be to sponsorship?
  • Do you anticipate Fortune 500 companies spending more on feeds like yours in 2018?
  • Will E-Sports rival sports like the MLB in 20 years?
  • NBA G-League on Twitch
  • Future of Social. (Alexa)
