Ben Wells: Sport, digital and the re-emergence after Covid-19 MrRichardClarke

Sport in the UK is getting ready for the return of spectators.

The sticking plasters that have covered the business models of organisations can start to be whipped off. The question is what will we find underneath?

Ben Wells has spent lockdown thinking deeply on these issues. The CCO of PTI Digital has wide experience from his time at Chelsea FC and Bath Rugby. He believes it WILL be different, behaviours WILL change and some aspects of sports will NEVER be the same again. However, there IS an opportunity to forge a different future. And, he believes, digital will be at its heart.
