For marketing professionals, AMA Houston is THE Marketing Connection for leading educational information, career-building resources and valuable networking opportunities.
We asked Houston marketers what they were most excited about during our September Luncheon, and here’s what they said! 👀
A big thank you to our guest speaker, Andrew Anderson, for joining us and sharing how marketing is used in sports to connect with fans, along with giving us a few behind-the-scenes looks at what’s coming up for the Houston Rockets.
And of course, thank you to our sponsors at Innovative Environments for helping make this event possible!
Now we want to hear from you! 👇

We're keeping the basketball theme going with our October Luncheon speaker, Lauren Sampson! 🏀
As Chief of Staff for UH Men's Basketball and daughter of Head Coach Kelvin Sampson, Lauren has spent the last decade transforming Houston's basketball program both on and off the court.
On October 7, she’s bringing that perspective to “Building a Brand in College Sports: The Story.”
Hear the story directly from someone who helped build it and learn what goes into creating a brand that connects a team, university, and city.

We asked ourselves: does a marketing luncheon need a stadium announcer?
Turns out it does.

Fandom is the most valuable relationship in marketing. Andrew's showing us how it gets built across a rebrand, a season launch, and a full media mix — and how that emotion shows up in the numbers.
