Most recently Bowers was the president of business operations of Major League Baseball’s Miami Marlins.

He will advise WePlay on business growth strategy, joining as an advisor to the WePlay Board that was formed in late 2019 following an initial round of investment.
Francis said: “WePlay is a really exciting agency, purpose built for this new era in sports. I’m a fan of the “outcomes over outputs” approach that sets WePlay apart from the old agency guard. This is becoming increasingly important at a time when marketers need to justify every cent of brand spend.”
