Scope

At the forefront of the sports industry, Sports Business Journal (SBJ) offers cutting-edge insights and reporting to empower top sports executives with crucial insights for decision-making and partnerships. Through award-winning media content across various platforms, exclusive networking events, and market-leading data, SBJ delivers unparalleled resources. SBJ’s original reporting, newsletters, podcasts, and video content, alongside renowned events, fosters collaboration and recognition within the sports business landscape. It caters to those looking for in-depth analysis, trends, and insights into the economic and business side of sports.

SBJ came to Jackrabbit Mobile with a well-established website, app, and user base, looking to improve the user experience for their existing mobile app. They partnered with Jackrabbit Mobile to modernize their iOS application and streamline access to the news and insights their readership has come to rely upon.

SBJ sought to improve ease of use, provide real-time updates, and enable quick navigation through their vast content library.
