Hear from keynote speaker, Kelly Mosier, Senior Director of Advertising & Content for Fans at Hudl.
Kelly Mosier currently works as Senior Director of Advertising & Content for Fans at Hudl, overseeing strategy and execution for a national media platform that reaches 99% of U.S. high schools. Over the course of his career, he has worked at the intersection of connecting fans, advertisers, and sports properties through brand strategy, content innovation, and operational scale.
A recognized leader in sports media, Mosier has spent nearly two decades shaping the way stories are told and monetized in sports as technology has constantly evolved. He began his career in sports video production at HuskerVision, the nation's first college sports video big screen department. He finished his Master of Arts in Journalism in 2012 at the University of Nebraska, where he studied online sports communities across the growing social media platforms of the time.
He went on to run Nebraska Athletics online and social media strategy, building one of the first college athletic departments in the country dedicated to Social Media storytelling, audience growth, and sponsorship through a combination of creative services like graphic design, video production, and social media management.
Now at Hudl, he works in the growing high school sports fan engagement space, once again connecting fans, advertisers, and athletes together in digital spaces.
A lifelong Nebraskan, Mosier lives in Lincoln with his family and spends his free time either behind a camera, guitar, or on a bike—chasing rhythm, flow, and connection in a changing digital world.
