The Sports King radio show approached us to build their digital presence from the ground up.
Jamie King, the host of the show, needed a simple, yet clean website to showcase show information as well as feature sponsors. He also wanted to build out some email automation for followers of the show to join his Sports King Nation mailing list.
With limited social media experience, he expressed interest in consulting with us as well as having us manage some of his social media. Lastly, he needed a way to distribute the show to those who missed it live.
Right off the bat, we wanted to brand The Sports King as an authority in the sports world. We chose an overhead blimp-style establishing shot as the hero section.
Since we didn’t have access to a blimp or footage from a blimp, we did the next best approach and pieced together this video from a static image and a little After Effects magic.
The subtle clouds moving over the stadium were a nice touch as well.
The Website
We built this site completely in WordPress. It’s optimized for mobile, fully responsive, and built for speed.
The homepage features several large content blocks for individual sponsors of the show, a requirement based on contractual arrangements with each sponsor.
The Visuals
Along with designing The Sports King logo, we also created various promotional graphics for social media, podcasts, etc.
The Result
This was a simple build for a new show, but we look forward to enhancing and expanding the site as the show grows in popularity.
“When I found out my sports radio show was moving to live during the morning drive time, I turned to NURV to take my website to the next level. They absolutely hit it out of the park!”
