Now, NBA Entertainment has approached the agency to continue its international growth path.
Gregg Winik, the NBA’s president of content, and an executive producer, said: “During his many years as an NBA partner, David has demonstrated his creative and innovative approach to branding and growing businesses.
“Adding his expertise to HS&E’s strong data and analytics capabilities will help us better understand the needs of our fans and how to reach them.”
Levy added: “The NBA is a great brand, and I’m fortunate to have built long-term relationships with the professionals at the NBA based on trust, creativity, and results.
“We pushed each other and won together, and I am looking forward to this next chapter.”
