Beyond PR Podcast – S05E03 – Tim Shipton  

Posted on November 8, 2024

Critical Thinker, Game-Time Leader, Communications Pro 

This year, there has been a lot to #BPRCelebrate. Just ask Brookline’s latest podcast guest, Tim Shipton, Executive Vice President of Communications & Gaming at Oilers Entertainment Group Sports & Entertainment organization (OEGSE).  

Tim’s diverse responsibilities include communications and corporate affairs for the Edmonton Oilers, OEGSE and Katz Group, all while also managing the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation (EOCF), hockey programming, WIN50, sports betting and gaming initiatives and OEGSE’s digital subscription strategy. With a portfolio this diverse, it’s not hard to imagine just how integral Tim’s role was throughout the Edmonton Oilers’ battle in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs and Finals.  

Join Tim and Shauna (possibly the Edmonton Oilers’ biggest fan) as they dive into the reflections and takeaways of managing communications through such a memorable playoff series, navigating the media landscape and what experiences brought Tim to this point in his career. Let’s Go Oilers!
