NFL100: Aligning the League Around a Single Story

The NFL’s 100th season was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate a century of football across television, digital, social, and live experiences. The Commissioner challenged the organization to make it the largest, highest-profile celebration in sports history.

The complexity was structural. The NFL operates as a collection of powerful, independent organizations—NFL Films, Network, Digital, Social, Marketing, and 32 clubs—each operating independently, with competing priorities and no shared system.

I led a cross-organizational effort to align these groups around a single vision for storytelling, establishing shared priorities, workflows, and a unified digital experience across platforms.

Key Results
