INDIANAPOLIS — IU Indianapolis Athletics has signed a multi-year partnership with FanWord to bring FanWord Assist – the company’s industry-leading content creation platform – into the Jaguars’ communications operation, supporting all 18 varsity programs.
FanWord Assist helps athletic communications teams produce content more efficiently. The AI-powered storytelling platform streamlines a variety of workflows, ensuring college sports communicators get to produce game recaps, feature stories, player bios, award nominations, and other digital content more efficiently, all while maintaining 100 percent editorial control and ownership.
“We’re excited to partner with FanWord to better tell the stories of our student-athletes, both inside and outside of competition. FanWord has proven to be an innovator and shown tremendous growth in a short amount of time,” Senior Associate Director of Athletics Ed Holdaway said. “Our department boasts nearly 300 student-athletes, all with compelling stories to tell. We’re eager to share their stories and share exactly what makes our university and our department special. In addition, this will allow us to further strengthen the IU Indy and Jaguar brand.”
