#50: Finn Bradshaw (ICC) - How cricket.com.au was built

This week we raise the bat for episode 50!

And what better guest to mark the milestone than Finn Bradshaw – Head of Digital at ICC in Dubai!

Finn is an award-winning digital executive with a track record of transforming sports media in Australia at News Limited, Cricket Australia and Tennis Australia and now cricket across the globe as Head of Digital for the ICC in Dubai.

In this episode, Finn explores how he led Cricket Australia Digital to create the #1 sports platform in Australia and the strategies behind building a global audience from scratch across the market-leading Cricket Australia Live app, cricket.com.au and MyCricket channels.

Finn takes us back to his start as a budding journalist and shares the experiences and lessons he gained at his university newspaper and radio show as well as sport magazines that laid the foundations of his path to becoming News Limited’s first National Digital Sports Editor.

Plus, Finn puts his hiring hat on to reveal what he looks for when employing graduates, the questions he asks candidates in interviews and his #1 advice for aspiring journalists to stand out from the pack in 2020.
