Cejih's back after 11 days on the road
Cejih Yung here It’s been a whirlwind past two weeks! Fresh off competing at US Masters Nationals in San Antonio, TX, I hopped over to sunny Fort Lauderdale for a week of meetings and world class racing.
It was fantastic connecting with new potential partners in person, and the energy was electric as we cheered on our incredible clients who were crushing it in the pool.
Speaking of the pool, the International Swimming Hall of Fame Aquatic Center is truly breathtaking (see pic below). There is so much history in this facility and it creates the most incredible atmosphere to be a spectator in. The energy led to several world record swims by Katie Ledecky and Gretchen Walsh. I hope we can bring more world class events to the City of Ft Lauderdale soon.
May is shaping up to be a huge media month as we build towards the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. I'll be heading to an NBC shoot later this month with our Winter clients – definitely feeling the anticipation for the Winter Games less than a year away.
Thanks for continuing to follow along and I appreciate everyone who reaches out to support us!
