How Snoop Dogg, Comic-Con, and cold calls are growing USA Fencing

Fencing is one of the oldest sports in Olympic history. It's also one of the least watched domestically. Phil Andrews, CEO of USA Fencing, is on a mission to change that, and with the 2028 Los Angeles Games on the horizon, he's running out of time. Andrews joins Rapid Response to reveal how he's building a sports brand with almost no budget and no marketing playbook, cold-calling CMOs, crashing Comic-Con, and convincing Snoop Dogg and Flavor Flav to pick up a sword. He also explains why he banded together five niche sports into a collective to take on sponsors as a group, and how the sport's unlikely Hollywood connections are becoming its greatest marketing asset. A masterclass in scrappy brand building for anyone competing against bigger, better-funded opponents.
