How does mobile fit into the live professional sports world? If you are the Miami Dolphins, mobile is a key tenant for fan engagement – in fact, it should become “the fan concierge” at the game, in the parking lot and in the living, according to Tery Howard, Chief Technology Officer for the venerable Miami Dolphins.
How has a well-known brand like the Miami Dolphins brought mobile to their legions of fans and how do they see it impacting the in-game experience, the at-home experience and the on-couch experience, of football watching. In this great interview, Tery explains their strategy and even opens up about moving from a proprietary device to an app and the reasons why.
This was recorded at the MEF Americas where UNTETHER.tv was the official North American media partner.
