Ep. 64: Social Media Marketing Specialist at ESPN, J’Ron Erby: How His Copious Amount of Internship and Entry-Level Jobs Led Him to One of Sports’ Biggest Powerhouse - a podcast by Grit Player Services

How the f**k did J’Ron go from interning with NFL teams up and down the West Coast to becoming a force in the Social Media Marketing department at ESPN? J’Ron received his B.A. in Mass Communication from Wayne State College in 2016. During his time in school, he interned with the Washington Football Team, the San Diego Chargers, and the San Francisco 49ers. In 2018, J’Ron was on the Super Bowl PR Staff, an Account Executive at Yelp, and a Public Relations Gameday Assistant for the Golden State Warriors all while earning graduate degree credits at the University of San Francisco. In 2019, he was an integral part of running Marketing and Social Content for the Alliance of American Football. After the league went under and much of the sports business world was asking “Who was running that dope social for them?”, J’Ron was brought on to help Wasserman as an Athlete Marketing representative. Today, he is studying to finish his Masters at Georgetown University, and works full-time as a Social Media Marketing Specialist for ESPN. So how did he manage to land all of these huge internship roles and eventually end up at the best of the best in sports?
