Background

About Ben Gunning

I talk with people to understand their goals and work to build effective, lasting partnerships. At SportsBiz, our DeepSport Solutions is a unique AI-driven sponsorship optimization platform that helps brands maximize the value of their sponsorship assets. From my start as an intern in arena football, my desire for new skills and unique experiences has taken me on a path that’s included two NBA teams, horse racing, athlete marketing, digital media, esports and now AI. I’ve had opportunities to represent some of the biggest & most storied brands in sports & entertainment - I’m very fortunate and thankful. I absolutely love sports. Other than my son, daughter and wife, most of my favorite things are sports-related - especially golf, football and cricket, and I'm always captivated by sport played at a world-class level. Moving forward, to borrow from the late Charlie Munger, I want to work with people I enjoy and represent products I believe in. I always welcome a conversation or meaningful connection, so whether you’re a sports industry peer, sports marketer curious about how AI can be additive to your strategy, or a student wondering about the sports industry – please feel free to reach out!
