TVWV Chats With Sports Branded Media
The Television Writers Vault continues its series
of interviews with key executives in the
entertainment industry, bringing our Writers an
exclusive glimpse of the inner workings of
Hollywood.
This month, John Meindl, President of Sports
Branded Media chats with Scott Manville of the TV
Writers Vault:
TVWV: Thanks for sharing your time with us,
John. Can you please describe for our readers the
function and focus of Sports Branded Media?
MEINDL: We are the first company to specialize in
sports product placement – working on the
production side offering sports-specific solutions
for advertisers. The scope of our company has
grown to include sports coordination and
production financing through sponsorship dollars.
TVWV: As prexy of your company, how involved are
you in the development process when taking on a
new project for packaging?
MEINDL: I am completely involved – working as part
of all productions from the start, and helping to
coordinate all of the sports elements and sports
related sponsorship / product placement.
TVWV: What got you into the industry, and what
keeps you going?
MEINDL: Where I am today is really a culmination
of many of the things I have done previously;
owner of a sporting goods company, retired
athlete, former college head coach, professor of
sports marketing- sports and entertainment
entrepreneur. I am a cross between a visionary and
a task master- and I truly would not know what to
do unless I had 10 things going on at once.
TVWV: It’s a fascinating approach to packaging
projects for sale that you have. How much does
having advertisers involved in a project before
approaching a network make a difference in a
network considering its viability.
MEINDL: Having the commitment of major advertisers
/ sponsors is always a great help.
