Today, Omaha Athletics announced a unique partnership with corporate sponsor Kidwell and brand development company, FanWord.

Through "Meet The Mavs" — an innovative storytelling series — Maverick student-athletes share their personal stories and talk about their relationships with the Omaha community.

FanWord, one of the market leaders in brand development services for NCAA institutions, works with 40+ athletic departments across all levels, including Alabama, Virginia Tech, SMU, and many more.

"We are very grateful for our partnership with Kidwell and excited to work with FanWord to create in depth content featuring our exceptional Maverick student athletes and alumni," said Adrian Dowell, Vice Chancellor / Director of Athletics.  

"As a long-term sponsor of the Mavericks, Kidwell is always looking for fresh ideas that showcase Omaha Athletics.  Working with the dynamic teams at FanWord and Omaha Athletics, we are very excited to share the new Meet the Mavs platform with the community."

All stories can be found on https://MeetTheMavs.omavs.com, an exclusive landing page dedicated to this series. Featured stories from Maverick hockey student-athletes including Matt Miller, Nolan Sullivan, and Jack Randl are already available.

"We're very excited about this innovative partnership with UNO and Kidwell," said FanWord CEO Christopher Aumueller. "It is instrumental to give athletes a voice and show the local community who these young men and women are outside of sports, too. It's great to not only see UNO fully get behind this vision but to also bring in Kidwell, a great community-builder and advocate of college athletics here in Nebraska."
