We’re headed to Edmonton for this episode, home of the Oilers, to catch up with Chris Ng-Muk-Yuen, Marketing Manager for Rogers Place and ICE District. Chris tells us about the venue and surrounding district, and its place in the city and approach to engaging with fans. Fresh off the Edmonton Oilers’ run to the Stanley Cup Finals last season, learn how the team and venue are capitalizing on the success, enhancing their fan experience, and bringing the city together in ICE District. Chris, who manages social media for both venues among numerous other tasks, breaks down their approach for each social platform, and we discuss when is the best time to invest time and effort into new platforms. Learn how he caught the photography bug and what he enjoys about being one of the venue’s house photographers. We talk about Chris’ entry into live events through an internship as a business analyst which led to roles in ticketing, sponsorship, and his current role in marketing. Chris gives some advice for young people entering the industry, as we discuss tips and the importance of a passion for events. From chats about the NHL bubble to his love of traveling to early planning for venue anniversaries – there’s a little of everything in this fun episode!
