Calgary Stampeders
Prior to the start of the 2009 CFL season, the Calgary Stampeders were looking for a new way to engage their fans. Trevor started by educating the Stampeders staff on social media and helping them setup their social accounts. Trevor then suggested that the Stampeders implement a website that would allow them to pull all team and fan generated content into one place and allow them to join the conversation in a place where they could then brand and monetize their efforts. The resulting was the award winning social media website StampsConnect.com, a site that leverages the popular social platforms that millions of people are already using (Facebook Twitter, YouTube, Flickr). Trevor then consulted with the Stampeders thoughout the 2009 season to help them implement a social media strategy that was tied to their other marketing efforts and online contests that encouraged fan generated content.

Iowa State Cyclone Hockey
As a former player with the Iowa State Cyclone hockey team, Trevor has a strong connection to his former team and wanted to assist them in promoting the team, generating new sources of revenue and educating the coaches, marketing interns and players on the value of engaging in social media.
Trevor assisted Cyclone hockey in setting up their social accounts and implementing a strategy to effectively manage all of their accounts using their existing resources. The experience has been valuable for both parties as the Cyclone hockey program has benefited from Trevor’s experience and, in turn, they have contributed to an ongoing case study profiled on Sport Fan Connect.
