Innovative Ideation Workshops for Sports Companies to Drive Creative Content Solutions

SportsZalk Media offers specialized ideation workshops for sports companies designed to inspire fresh, creative thinking and align your team’s ideas with your broader business and content strategies. Drawing from Founder Howard Zalkowitz’ experience as an executive at Turner Sports and NESN, SportsZalk Media will facilitate two-day workshops that provide your managers and individual contributors with a clear framework for success.

The Ideation Workshop:  Day 1 

The process begins with blue-sky brainstorming, where together we generate a wide range of ideas that enhance the viewer/user experience (the "What"). The goal is to explore creative concepts that not only appeal to your audience but also align with your company’s content strategy. We’ll examine the “Why” - why these ideas make sense for your brand and how they fit into your overarching goals.

Next, we dive into the P&L - discussing the potential monetization of assets and evaluating resource allocation, including personnel and technology needs. We discuss the importance of aligning the ideation cycle with both the budget cycle and the sales cycle while highlighting the agility that companies need for off-calendar ideation. This overarching conversation sets the direction for Day 2.

The Ideation Workshop:  Day 2

We move into the “How” - choosing and analyzing several key ideas in-depth, examining the resources (personnel, technology) and time allocation needed at different stages, and the resultant opportunities for each concept. Throughout this Day 2, your team is coached on how to refine and present ideas effectively, teaching them how to write an idea pitch, a logline, and a business case that makes each idea actionable and compelling.

The ultimate goal of these ideation workshops for sports companies is to systematize the process, allowing your company to be self-sufficient in ideation the following year. By the end of the workshop, your team will have a structured framework for generating, evaluating, and implementing creative ideas that drive innovation in your sports content.
