Jesse Cole—“the guy in the yellow tuxedo”—transformed a small summer league baseball team into the Savannah Bananas, a cultural sensation with sold-out games, a two-million strong ticket waitlist, and global media buzz. As founder of Fans First Entertainment, he lives by the mantra: "Fans First. Entertain Always."
Audiences learn to turn customers into raving fans by eliminating friction, boldly experimenting, creating unforgettable experiences, and making every touchpoint remarkable. Jesse shows how loving your fans—and your people—first isn’t just marketing: it’s the game-changing way to grow. Expect to be inspired, unconventional, and energized to make your own “fans first” move.
