Stephen Wade

After an alarming, unprecedented week for sport and society, SportsPro editor at large Eoin Connolly is joined by editorial director Michael Long and deputy editor Sam Carp to reflect on a spate of cancellations and postponements, including a shift for the Uefa European Championship from 2020 to 2021. (01.25)  Then, JTA founder Jon Tibbs, who has provided communications consultancy to major sports organisations around the world, breaks down the challenge of providing clear, practical and appropriate messages in a fast-moving crisis. (23.41)  And as preparations continue amid all this for the Olympic Games, AP correspondent and sports writer Stephen Wade is on the line from Tokyo to discuss the situation on the ground there. (43.05)

This week we’re peering in to that weird world of international PR, with a particular reference to the big major event bidding campaigns over the years and how the cottage industry around the Olympics is faring now and in the future.There are very few people better qualified to talk about this stuff than Jon Tibbs, so we went to the London offices of Jon Tibbs Associates to talk to the man himself about a career in international sports PR, which has seen Jon and his team working for a disparate group of clients from Beijing 2008 Olympics and Qatar through to the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics and Manchester United.Tibbs’ career is often seen through the lens of his battles with the late Mike Lee, most famously on opposite sides of the race for the 2012 Olympics, whcih ultimately of course went to London rather than Paris, who was Jon’s client.We talk about lots of things in this podcast, and for regular listeners its worth going back and checking out a previous Unoffiical Partner pod with Charlie Sale who took great delight in referencing Tibbs regularly in his columns.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.
