You know you should be running a Media Day. You just don't know where to start. You picture forty kids and a camera and no idea what order any of it happens in. You don't have "real" equipment, so you've been putting it off. You're worried you'll block off an afternoon and end up with nothing you can actually use. That's not a readiness problem. That's a missing plan, and it's fixable before you ever pick up a camera.
Vision first. Equipment second. Every time.
- From the Media Day Core Guide
WHAT'S INSIDE THE GUIDE
Everything you need for a first Media Day that actually works:
- The three budget tiers, zero to built-out, so gear stops being the reason you haven't started
- The three-station system real programs run, and why each station has exactly one job
- Why batching by season beats scrambling sport by sport
- How to actually tell if it worked, without chasing vanity numbers
