Week in Review
We went to the Big Game.
Founders Travis Geiger (CXO), Zach Doctor (CEO), & Guy Dotan (COO), spent Wednesday through Saturday in San Fransisco and the city felt like the center of the sports universe.
On Wednesday, Travis reunited with Ochocinco for the third time. At this point it is safe to say he has an Ochocinco magnet. An unreal moment, the duo hugged it out, before Travis called him “the nicest guy I’ve ever met.”
He also met up with some other NFL stars like T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Jameis Winston. Winston dropped some words of wisdom: Be grateful for this amazing game we all love. We want to see a hard fought battle, and may the best team win.
Von Miller was showing off his chicken company Greener Pastures Chicken and the passion is real. We checked out NFL Culture Club LX and Origins, a collection spotlighting local and diverse design talent. One quote that summed it up perfectly:
“What you create is linked to what created you. When you share your art, you share your origins.”
We also got an all time moment with Jerry Rice and Joe Montana. One of the coolest pictures we have. That one is getting framed.
Friday at ADWEEK House featured a “Going Global” seminar on how brands and properties are engaging fans worldwide. Amon Ra St. Brown broke down his pick for the game, Seahawks 27 to 17. He also talked about growing up in Germany, watching the game go global, and the dream of playing flag football for Team Germany in the Olympics.
The city itself was awesome. Trolleys, local skaters, massive Big Game ads, building light shows at night.
Saturday capped it all at Sports Illustrated “The Party”. The Chainsmokers were joined by Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Gronk.

A room full of tight ends at Cow Palace was a moment.
The entire trip was incredible. Roll the tape...
The Big Game Recap 🏈
Both teams were strong all season, but their preseason odds never priced them like eventual champions. That disconnect is exactly why the marketplace was loaded with massive tickets by the end of the year.
Seattle and New England faced off in the Big Game and it was a slow start. At halftime we took a look at the team statistics.
The Seahawks continued to control the game in the second half.
Final score: 29 to 13. Seahawks win.
Kenneth Walker III took home Pro Football Finals MVP after rushing for 135 yards on 27 carries. It was a defensive battle, but Seattle’s offense proved to have just enough juice with Jason Myers hitting 5 field goals and touchdowns from Uchenna Nwosu and AJ Barner.
We can't forget to mention the amazing performances. Charlie Puth set the tone with an amazing rendition of the National Anthem. Halftime was stacked. Bad Bunny delivered a wild performance, opening with hit song Tití Me Preguntó. He featured Lady Gaga who sang "Die With A Smile" and a surprise from Ricky Martin on LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii. Jessica Alba, Pedro Pascal, and Alix Earle were also part of the show. The set was full of energy and provided a strong message for all: Together We Are America
There are already odds up for next year’s title with the Seahawks and Rams at +950, Bills +1100, Patriots +1300 and more. Yes, there are even odds for next year’s halftime performer with Cardi B, Taylor Swift, and Lil Wayne leading the board. The cycle never stops.
