#20. NBA - Jason Bieber - The NBA's fan-centric strategy

---

We couldn't imagine a better way to start this new season of LeCorner - International!

For the second time in its history, we had the opportunity to talk with one of the biggest sports leagues in the world: the NBA. 

Over the last few months, the American league have partnered with significant companies to engage with its fan and the new generation (Buzzer, and prominent start-ups through NBA Launchpad). NBA has always been at the forefront of innovation, creating programs and campaigns to provide an even more premium experience of the game.  

To discuss these topics, we had the pleasure to receive Jason Bieber, Growth & Innovation strategy lead at NBA. How does the league handle innovation? How to involve more fans?
