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.
