We share almost the exact same target audience, and cover similar stories, but obviously mine are not as global. They market their product by having various social media accounts on many platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter. They also have commercials that they plug on stations such as ESPN, and have the anchors on shows such as Sportscenter advertise it as well. They have famous athletes and personnel on the show advertising their product, to try and persuade more people to subscribe to their monthly plan. So, various media metho...
