Wiacek said that the 18- to 30-year-old demographic is key for traditional media organizations, yet the hardest to reach.
"The more traditional media outlets are trying to find ways of attracting that audience," Wiacek said.
Hanlon said team communications are essential for growing leagues like the NWSL that can't wait around for classic media coverage to pour in, especially in local markets.
