Heidi Browning - Get a Sneakpeak Behind the Scenes of the NHL
06/25/21 • 32 min
Today I’m sitting down with the Senior Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer for the National Hockey League, better known as the NHL! Her name is Heidi Browning and she is a passionate pioneer in digital, mobile and social marketing.
Heidi is also a sought-after featured speaker at industry conferences, including CES, TEDx Women, Variety Entertainment Marketing Summit, Adweek and the Youth Marketing Summit, just to name a few. Her honours include Adweek’s Most Powerful Women in Sports, Most Powerful Women in Music by Billboard, and recently she was named one of Forbes’ World’s Most Influential CMOs in 2020!
I Invited Heidi to be a guest on my show to discuss generational trends in attention and brand engagement. I wanted to learn why marketing to Millennial and Gen Z audiences is essential for engaging young sports fans. And I was curious to get her POV on what it’s like to be a woman at the helm of a mostly-male dominated industry.

How to Avoid These Common Stereotyping Mistakes with Matt Skallerud
My guest today is Matt Skallerud, the President and Founder of Pink Media; a revolutionary company that specializes in LGBTQ+ online marketing.
Back in 1995 when the internet was just in its infancy, Matt launched GayWired.com, which quickly skyrocketed to become one of the top 3 LGBTQ websites worldwide.
I invited Matt to be a guest on my show to chat about Pink Media. I wanted to learn what they do differently to help brands reach the LGBTQ market. I also wanted to talk about stereotyping and what steps brands can do to avoid it. But most of all, I was curious to hear how Matt became known around the world as "The Accidental Social Media Star” thanks to his popular new online show #ILoveGay Today.
