Digital sports marketing & mega events with alumnus Guilherme Guimarães

Guilherme Guimarães is a Management School alumnus gaining an MSc in Sport Management in 2008 and is now the General Manager of Ativa Esporte.

Drawing upon his involvement in such mega events and also his previous roles as Director of Sports for Twitter Brazil, British Council, and Geo Eventos, Guilherme provided insight into how digital marketing can engage audiences with events on such a wide scale.
