His own fandom originated with his parents, who were devoted Mets fans. His father attended Mets games at Shea Stadium as a child. Lavine\u2019s memories of attending games with his family as season-ticket holders continue to shape the ideas he develops and help him create content that resonates with fans. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph sections-awards-and-honors \">\u201cGenerational fandom, that somebody will love you no matter what, through the good times and the bad, comes from creating emotion,\u201d Lavine said. \u201cAn emotional relationship between the audience and the brand and the team. My own passions and love are what we try to create and instill in everyone that\u2019s a fan.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph sections-awards-and-honors \">Lavine joined the Chargers in 2017 as managing producer after spending nearly seven years producing digital video content with the New York Jets. Over the years, he has expanded what was once a four-person team into a department of more than 40 full-time staff members that spans content, social media, design, brand creative, digital marketing, production and merchandise. When he was promoted to senior vice president in 2024, he spearheaded a full creative overhaul of the Chargers\u2019 brand while also overseeing game presentation at SoFi Stadium. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph sections-awards-and-honors \">\u201cVideo is such a key driver for storytelling,\u201d said Lavine. \u201cIt can help shape the story you want to tell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph sections-awards-and-honors \">The Chargers are known for their innovation while engaging younger audiences through the digital landscape. From the team\u2019s viral schedule-release videos \u2014 including the Minecraft-inspired 2025 release that generated more than 25 million views and impressions \u2014 to behind-the-scenes content, Lavine has successfully paired creativity with organizational scale. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph sections-awards-and-honors \">The Chargers\u2019 digital footprint in 2025 included more than 1.66 billion impressions, 85.9 million engagements and more than 505,000 new followers, contributing to a total audience of more than 6.2 million across platforms. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jason LavineSenior Vice President, Brand Marketing and CreativeLos Angeles Chargers Age: 39 Born: Manhattan Education: Northeastern University, B.A.,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":428725,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[1535,170597,48,52,51,47,50,49,9739],"class_list":["post-428724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-chargers","tag-forty-under-40","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-print"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428724"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428724\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/428725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=428724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=428724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
