Joshua Nightingale ’09 – Josh knew he wanted to work in the sports industry dating back to his days at YHS where he was an ardent fan of the New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox, and Boston Celtics. Even though Josh spent countless hours playing the video game “Madden” and studying the box scores, he knew it would require more than just pure fandom to “break in” to the industry.
In order to begin to gain a competitive edge, Josh attended Syracuse University and graduated with a B.S. in Sport Management. He then got his start working in the sports biz when he interned at a pro baseball agency and was responsible for creating a statistical model that evaluated minor league baseball players using advanced metrics. After some more sports agency work and a J.D. from Villanova University, Josh accomplished his dreams when he went to work for the Kraft Group as an Analyst. While at the Kraft Group, Josh was responsible for providing marketing & analytics services for the Patriots, Revolution, Patriot Place, Gillette Stadium, and other Kraft businesses. His work coincided with the Patriots’ 3-year Super Bowl run where he played a role in helping to automate and deliver digital marketing communications to their fan base and analyzing subsequent engagement.
Josh has since moved back to Maine where he works remotely for a digital marketing & analytics agency. He is excited to be back home and return to “the way life should be.”
