ATLANTA, GA…MELT, the award-winning sports, entertainment, and culinary marketing agency, released today the “Rich Take on Sports” podcast, which features its Founder, Chairman, and CEO Vince Thompson.
“I’m honored to be a part of this podcast and share my story with Rich’s listeners and viewers,” said Thompson.
The podcast chronicles Thompson’s rise from small-town, Lower Alabama roots to owning and running MELT, now one of the leading sports marketing agencies in the country. Including MELT’s 20-year representation of The Coca-Cola Company, the activation of 17 consecutive Final 4s, seven straight seasons of ESPN College GameDay, and many more.
