College football begins tonight and that means the ACC Digital Network is offering a fresh chance for active students and alumni interested in the opportunity to be a part of their coverage team on site by winning the “Guest Reporter Search” contest. The Sports Techie community blog shared this fun story last year and looks forward to spreading the new campaign news this season once again with our readers and followers around the nation and here in the South. Entrants can win by leveraging social media and ACCDN content about their favorite school. The ACCDN and theACC.com are using sports technology and social campaigns to deliver top sports content to your TV, digital devices and OTT box.

Sports Techie, sports properties are competing for eyeballs and sponsors so getting fans to engage and enhancing the fan experience are a few of the top priorities when it comes to serving their end-users. This is why the continued activation of the ACCDN Guest Reporter Search Campaign is worth entering and following online for ACC students, alumni and college sports fans in general.

I look forward to learning more about this season’s candidates and winner.
