We’re proud to see Bruin Capital recognized by Sports Business Journal as a 2024 Institutional Investor Power Player. Our firm was among the first to recognize an entire sports asset class beyond teams and leagues almost 10 years ago. Since then, we have assembled a diverse portfolio of businesses spanning media production, gaming, corporate hospitality, experiential marketing, sportstech, rights management, horticulture and venue optimization. Bruin is grateful to all partners in its network, past and present, who have been a part of our journey so far. There’s a lot more to come. #sportsbusiness #privateequity #assetmanagement https://lnkd.in/e7pFJ3fX

PSA: Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching. The inspired work from our portfolio company Soulsight on behalf of the Molson Coors Beverage Company and Blue Moon offers a friendly reminder. #soulsight #brandarchitecture #creativestrategy #branddesign #brandredesign #redesign #packagingdesign #packagingredesign #brandidentity #bluemoon #client https://lnkd.in/evpbwrdh
Bolder. Better. Brighter. To position Blue Moon for its next phase of growth, our team worked with the #1 craft beer brand to develop a new visual identity system that unified the packaging through a more consistent design architecture. Our team tapped into the creativity at the heart of the craft beer movement to shine a new light on this iconic craft brand. Thank you to our partners at Molson Coors Beverage Company including, Courtney Benedict, Mara Melamed Schaefer, Rose Sokolnik, Leah Bowman, Jessica Levinger, Matt Porembiak, and Karrie Tansor-Graf for the collaboration. And shout out to the cross-functional Soulsight team that brought the vision to life including, Justin Berglund, Steve Tedesco, Chloe Donovan, Geoff Burroughs, Stephen Merlo, Noelle O'Saben, Erin Acklin, Laura DeGroot, Christina Kokrak, Aleena Bobich, and Thomas Campos. #soulsight #brandarchitecture #creativestrategy #branddesign #brandredesign #redesign #packagingdesign #packagingredesign #brandidentity #bluemoon #client

We are proud to become the majority shareholder of Netherlands-based holding company PlayGreen BV Inc.. Collectively Playgreen's companies Stadium Grow Lighting, ALVA Technology and their subsidiaries form the world’s leading natural turf management company. Their proprietary technologies and leading R&D systems are used by more than 600 leagues, teams and governing bodies worldwide, including the Dallas Cowboys, Boston Red Sox, Wimbledon, Tottenham Hotspur, FC Barcelona, among many others. While most fans only think about playing surfaces when something goes wrong, they’re critical to the functioning of the sports ecosystem, especially as venue owners and operators seek to maximize the number of events they host, without impacting athlete safety or quality of performance. Institutional knowledge, data science and relentless innovation are vital to this endeavor. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome @MarkTrubenbacher, @FrankBeusekom, @Scott Bogner and the entire PlayGreen team into the Bruin family! https://lnkd.in/ePAe8jdT

Sports content everywhere! Fans rejoice! However, the new complexity of choices and incremental cost creep are some potential headwinds against growth the industry is already trying to get ahead of, explains our CEO George Pyne https://lnkd.in/eFZZFM3Q
You know the game is on, but where? The sports and media industries may be nearing an inflection point where fragmentation of live sports rights is negatively impacting the fan/consumer experience. Fortunately, we’re seeing some leagues, teams, and distributors take steps to course correct by offering easier access, more nimble viewing experiences and greater cross-platform discoverability. Today's #ChannelChange takes a closer look at three strong examples. #mediarights #sportsbusiness #fanexperience
