ABOUT ME

A strategic marketing and communications professional with a proven track record of delivering corporate and consumer campaigns for some of the world’s best known sport and entertainment properties, personalities and events.

​

I’ve been fortunate to build a broad-base of experience working for, and on behalf of, high-profile sports and entertainment brands, rights owners, broadcasters and media companies - both agency and client side.

 

I've worked for businesses of all sizes and scales - from major multinationals, to the UK's biggest media companies and specialist boutique agencies - providing me with the skills to deal with complex stakeholder environments.

​

My experience of the sports broadcasting industry, with Sky, BT Sport and Eurosport, has enabled me to create campaigns around major global sporting events and attain high-level experience in dealing with reputation and issues management scenarios, both from a planning and on-the-ground standpoint.

​

I pride myself on the ability to quickly build effective working relationships with colleagues, clients and stakeholders. I'm passionate about innovating the way communications teams function and believe in a holistic approach that focuses on transparency and creativity to deliver the most impactful and integrated strategies and campaigns.

Dan Tunna

From a personal perspective, I currently reside in Paris with my wife but I'm actively mobile for all projects. Sport and media isn't just my job, its my passion. I play, read about and watch many sports - football, cricket, rugby, golf and tennis to name a few. I also love reading and learning about the sport and media industries - from data to D2C, esports to fan engagement and social media strategy to streaming services - I like to ensure I stay on top of the latest developments in these fast-moving sectors.
