Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment is a multifaceted sports and entertainment business that brings people together to experience music, sports, and culture through our platforms, teams and venue. BSE recently launched a media company, Type.Set.Brooklyn, that champions the spirit and attitude of Brooklyn and amplifies it to the world. Rooted in digital storytelling across all channels and formats, we will cultivate a highly-engaged global audience by reaffirming the connective threads that tie pop culture, sports, music, fashion, and food not just to Brooklyn geographically, but in how they’re embedded into its DNA.
We are assembling a team of agile, culturally fluent, entrepreneurial-minded talent who will craft the vision strategy and tactics to bring this initiative to life. We believe that our team should mirror the diversity of the Brooklyn communities that have shaped culture, so we can create content that authentically reflects and resonates beyond the borough’s borders.
