GMR and the Sports Business Journal convened a roundtable of corporate partners and Olympic leaders from the likes of Comcast, Eli Lilly and Company, Google, Optimum Sports, United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, and USA Swimming. SBJ's Rachel Axon moderated the conversation and discussed everything from brand partnerships to hospitality to the pressure of meeting lofty expectations. And of course, the group looked forward to how the movement is positioned ahead of #LA28. GMR's Jessica Giordano weighed in on the topic of LA28: "When you talk about the Olympics, we think about this sport, which it is, but then you get here on the site and it is the manifestation of culture, global culture, entertainment and sport. And then you put that in the entertainment capital of the world and the heart of culture, and it's only going to grow from there too. So I think this idea of, it's the world event, not just about the sport, is really going to come to life in a big way in L.A. too."

From Paris 2024 ➡️ LA28. We may still be in the midst of the Games, but it’s never too early to think ahead. GMR’s Executive Strategy Director Dennis Jenders reflects on his time in Paris and considers the transition brands must make to craft impactful experiences in Los Angeles. “The real innovation lies not in technology or flashy campaigns but in the ability to shift the narrative and create a context where culture, community, and commerce come together in harmony.”

Say hello to one of the breakout stars of the Games - iconic venues. Brands said “au revoir” to traditional showcasing in exchange for historic Parisian venues, giving them more autonomy to customize spaces that stay true to the culture of the host city and more closely align with their activation goals. GMR’s Jessica Giordano weighs in with Sports Business Journal’s Rachel Axon.
