“When you meet resistance - teach. Because one of you doesn't have the context that the other one has. Rather than debate and clash - better to explain why it is.” Kyle Schlegel, is Weber Inc’s VP of Americas Marketing and Direct-to-Consumer - where he helps bring to life the most innovative, legendary grills in the world.  Prior to Weber, Kyle spent three years at Louisville Slugger before its acquisition by Wilson Sporting Goods, where he then led all marketing strategy and execution across the Wilson Racquet Sports portfolio, the #1 iconic name in tennis. And Kyle spent thirteen years at P&amp;G in brand management on brands like Herbal Essences, Old Spice, Aussie, and Wella.  Kyle is also the recipient of the CMO Club’s Rising Star Award and AdAge’s 40 Under 40. Kyle now lives just outside of Chicago with his wife, daughter, and pub. While sports plays a different role in life today, Schlegel still fits it in wherever he can among other priorities in life, such as friends, family, faith and serving others. You’ll enjoy this candid, vulnerable, and insightful conversation about Kyle’s journey from Kentucky farmboy to Chicago professional.

Kyle Schlegel gets asked every day what Roger Federer is like, or real, when the camera’s not on him. The truth: he’s exactly the way he is on camera. That’s a powerful level of authenticity and it’s a growing trend. It’s also just one of the big ways technology has changed the landscape for marketing leaders of sporting goods companies. At Brandemonium, I got to sit down with an expert on this topic, my friend Kyle Schlegel, the Global Marketing Director of Racquet Sports at Wilson. He outlined 5 challenges that face large sporting goods brands today, and the 2 practices marketing leaders should be engaged in to become better assets to the brands they represent.

When Kyle isn't hanging around with partners like 43-time combined Grand Slam Champion Roger Federer and Serena Williams, he's one of the smartest voices in Sports Marketing. Kyle gives a good perspective when working for a business with large marketing budgets and how to be nimble and different when your budgets aren't so big. He always brags about the Luxembourg experience and recommends international studying for every single student.   Make sure to root for Kyle's partners in the coming months, and to follow him at @kyleschlegel15.
