Tuesday, July 1 – Introducing Our Next Two Speakers

Brad Ross VP of Global Sports and Entertainment Marketing & Partnerships at The Coca-Cola Company

Originally from South Africa, Brad had early formative memories of how sport can unite and be a force for good. The 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa was an incredible memory, not just because the Springboks won, but what it meant to the country. As the brand manager for Coca-Cola in 2010, Brad had the unique privilege to work on the FIFA World Cup in his home country, and that is where his career in sports & entertainment marketing really began.

Over the years, Brad has had the opportunity to work on multiple global sports campaigns including the subsequent 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cups, 2012 & 2016 UEFA Euro, The FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour by Coca-Cola, Special Olympics, and the Olympics amongst others. Through this, Brad has also worked on global entertainment marketing assets in the gaming and music space working closely with artists, labels, influencers and publishers alike.

Brad also led the Marketing, Customer and Commercial functions for Coca-Cola’s West Africa Business Unit. Based out of Lagos, Nigeria – Brad and his team were accountable for 33 countries across Africa.

The majority of his career has been spent at The Coca-Cola Company, while also spending some time with Google.
