For Unplanned or Breaking News Events

In addition to planned events, some sporting events fall

into the category of unplanned or breaking news events.

For example, a specific player might unexpectedly break a

world record, suddenly rise in popularity amongst fans, or

transfer teams.

When these unexpected events take place:

Create content specifically around these events so that

you can take advantage of audience interest.

If you’re unable to cover the event directly, produce

videos featuring interviews and general reactions, with

appropriate consent.

Take advantage of the popularity of a trending video,

if it makes sense to do so.
