[Biz Takeouts Podcast] 154: Rugby players and social media, introducing Super Scouts

On 15 September Super Scouts launched, a fully searchable social platform, geared at all participants in rugby, players gain exposure by uploading their free profiles, agents and scouts gain easy access to thousands of players, while schools, clubs, varsities and unions get the opportunity to showcase their facilities, players and sponsors. This gives brands who partner with Super Scouts a niche audience that is 100% aligned with their marketing strategies.

We find out more about the platform, how the idea of Super Scouts originated, and how long it took to develop the platform. We look at the response to Super Scouts from players, coaches and the industry so far, and explore the challenges the industry faces finding new talent.

Lastly, we look at the future of the platform with other sports and international expansion.
