THREAD: Friday, April 3, 2020. A bittersweet day for me and others. Today was the day, OUR day, to welcome fans, teams and Atlantans to the 2020 @FinalFour. It was supposed to be opening day for the Digital Hub. We had recruited some of the BEST content creators from all over GA.
2/I want to take a moment to recognize these people for their time, effort and ideas. Many of whom do this for a living (way better than me) and were going to bring a new level of creativity to the table.
This is my first ever thread, apologies for any formatting miscues.

3/Our Social Media Committee first met last summer and then semi-monthly. The committee included the rockstars behind some of Atlanta's best social accounts.

5/I'm disappointed our Digital Hub content creators will not have their work showcased on the @FinalFour platform. I want to do my best to show off some of their skills here. They deserve a larger audience. Please connect and collaborate with them. They're all rockstars.
6/I had a great partnership with host institution @GTAthletics, thanks to @simit_shah. He thankfully allowed me to work with Brad Ahern & @TheBenZone on a few projects.
Here's one Ben shot and edited https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1222186031916691457
Both really get it and are so, so talented.

7/Before he had the AWESOME opportunity to work for his hometown @TigersAthletics, @iamTomp designed some templates for the MBB Trophy Tour in his free time away from @MercerBears.

8/Thank you to @lupedaddyflex (jealous of that handle) who put together multiple videos for us. He shot and edited the best Fan Jam video we did all year. I was excited to see you shine during event week!

9/10 years from now when she's anchoring @SportsCenter, I'll regret that I never had the chance to work with @Jala_Norman during this event. She brought so many ideas and is uber talented.

10/The dynamic duo behind @GSUPanthers & @GeorgiaStateFB of @ReamesCathcart & @jorrdankidd were no doubt going to CRUSH IT at this event. Please check some of their stuff out, they're awesome!

11/The staff at @GSAthletics across the board does a great job. @meganleben is no different. She's destined to do great things!
She killed it on the @FinalFour Insta story for National Trivia Day. Thank you Megan!

12/The pictures behind @GSAthletics? That's @AJHenderson_SID on the camera. No doubt your photos would have been used for years telling the story of this event.
Feast your eyes on these photos of his:

14/I couldn't wait to see @itsKellerr in action this week. He's killing it for @MercerBears and his future is very bright.
Please check out some of his work https://twitter.com/itsKellerr/status/1230235665612394503

15/There are too many partners to mention. @GTAthletics Santino Stancato, @britt_mccormick & Ally Rosenthal all helped create our unique brand. We communicated constantly w/ @ATL311 & @CityofAtlanta. @happpy_madison & @sparkloft were preparing awesome graphics to inform our fans!
End/I owe these folks a huge thank you. While we didn't have the chance to show the country why this was the greatest Final Four ever, it goes without saying we were prepared to do exactly that. I'm sad you won't get this experience, but there's so much ahead for everyone!
