Rocket off 🚀 to Space City with us as we chat with Alyssa Patani, Arena Marketing Manager at Toyota Center, home of the Houston Rockets. Lyssa gives us the lay of the land – Toyota Center’s place in the market, what her role is at the venue, and what makes Houston such a special place. We chat with her about social strategies, their approach and her recommendations on graphics, and how she balances the demand for graphics with managing time by using templates. Learn what other venues she follows and how important it is to create a social aesthetic and visuals unique to your venue. Lyssa tells us about how she developed a love of design through early days of MySpace which led her into teaching herself Photoshop which has come in handy when working with tour admats. She tells us about her history in the industry and how she has been challenged over the years, and through that, has gained new perspective and been able to network with peers from other venues. You’ll love this episode, which is packed with fun stories, candid vulnerability, and great conversations with plenty of laughs.
