Week 1

I am working with Morgan Lunz at the Portland Timbers and Thorns. I'm helping her organize the Pub Partners and the Street Team project. The pub program is for the away games that the Timbers and the Thorns play. 

PTFC partners with several pubs/restaurants in the Portland-Metro area to host away game watch parties with games, food/beverages, and a place to watch the Timbers/Thorns when they play away from Portland. I'm helping Morgan revamp this project and research new, innovative ways that clubs in the MLS are approaching away games. The Street Team is the grassroots marketing initiative. The goal is to reach new fans in the community through several different events. There's a lot of creative freedom for this one. 

I chose this project because I'm passionate about soccer and wanted to combine that with my interest in business. It might be something that I am interested in doing after college, so I wanted to see what working for a soccer team would be like.

Through some mutual connections, I was introduced to Morgan and she generously offered to support me through this project.

Goals:

-Communication 

-Creative license

-Learn how behind the scenes of a soccer team work
