WINNIPEG, Manitoba —Blazers Athletics has signed a three-year agreement with FanWord, one of the leading AI technology and storytelling companies in college sports. Through this partnership, the Blazers will implement FanWord Assist, FanWord’s AI-powered content creation platform, to enhance and expand storytelling across all of their athletic programs.
FanWord Assist streamlines the production of game recaps, award nominations, feature stories, and player bios, giving athletic communications teams the ability to create more high-quality content with greater speed and consistency. With the platform’s AI-powered tools and customizable workflows, CMU will be better equipped to spotlight the achievements, personalities, and journeys of its student-athletes, coaches, and teams throughout the MCAC season and beyond.
“We’re extremely excited to join this partnership with FanWord,” states Director of Athletics Russell Willms. “I’ve seen first-hand the power FanWord has to elevate both the player and fan experience during my time at UBC Okanagan, and I know it will level-up our communications strategy here at CMU too.”
