Hoopsfix Podcast Ep.3: Interview with David Leyden Dunbar, BBL Commercial Director

By on October 18, 2013

David Leyden Dunbar BBL Commercial DirectorThe Hoopsfix Podcast returns for Episode 3, with BBL Commercial Director, David Leyden Dunbar.

The BBL has taken huge steps forward commercially in the past 12 months, and it is no surprise it coincides with Leyden Dunbar’s full time appointment.

In this episode, hear from David on:

  • How his position came about and his background before joining the BBL
  • The biggest issues he felt the BBL was facing when he joined
  • Why the league decided to create and launch BBL TV, despite it being heavily subsidised by the league
  • How he repositioned how the league was being “sold” to commercial partners to ensure success
  • Why the league has not yet pursued a title sponsor
  • Why the Eurosport TV deal is not a step backward
  • What his hopes are for the future of the BBL

As always, I’d love to get your feedback, come back after you’ve listened and lets get some discussion going in the comments.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
