The first weekend of March Madness is in the books, and Who Won the Week is back to break down the brands and athletes who scored big at The Big Dance.

On this week’s episode, EDO Media Analyst Matt Ulrich and VP of Brand Partnerships Rebecca Sandidge discuss the powerful impact of the NCAA’s Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) policy — and the brands that are using it to feature college athletes in ads that air during the NCAA tournaments. 

Learn how TurboTax is maximizing its ad effectiveness with an assist from University of North Carolina basketball star Armando Bacot, how Iowa’s Caitlin Clark is taking the women’s tournament to new heights, and how Amazon MGM Studios capitalized on a key moment in Sunday evening’s overtime thriller between Texas A&M and Houston.

All that and more, on the new Who Won the Week!
