LOS ANGELES — In the storytelling capital of the world, Loyola Marymount University Athletics is ready to tell more of its own through a partnership with FanWord, the leading AI technology & storytelling company in college sports. Under the agreement, the Lions will use FanWord Assist, the company’s AI-powered platform built exclusively for athletics communications teams.
The platform streamlines a variety of workflows, ensuring college sports communicators produce game recaps, long-form feature stories, website player bios, award nominations, and other digital content more efficiently, all while maintaining 100% editorial control and ownership.
LMU’s staff will be able to use the same game-changing technology that has saved hundreds of athletic departments and conference offices in college sports more than 30,000 work hours over the past academic year.
“We are excited to partner with FanWord for the upcoming season and see this company as a real advantage for our team,” said Matthew Lerman, LMU Associate Athletic Director. “Chris and the FanWord team have been tremendous in helping get this partnership started and we are ready to get to work.”
