Tim Nickles

Senior Manager, Production Operations

ESPN

For the last 22 years, Tim has been part of ESPN’s various media teams and has helped to support the expansion of ESPN’s tape and film vault. In 2001, his team was the first to begin archiving legacy content from older to newer tape formats in an effort to extend their shelf life. Seven years later, his team became the first operation at ESPN to facilitate the daily transfer of digital media to in-house formats to support ESPN’s storytelling efforts. Since 2013, Tim has overseen ESPN’s daily live feed ingest operation, which was grown by 177% in the past seven years thanks to ESPN’s digital network growth (ESPN3 and ESPN+). Since 2015, Tim has been an active contributor in ongoing efforts to standardize and expand the use of production event metadata at ESPN.

Before attending a HS DAM event, I never knew the true impact or importance of DAM. For the first time it felt like I wasn't alone, but part of something so much greater. I left inspired and motivated to take what I had learned and apply it our DAM system. I look forward to the event every year!

The Henry Stewart DAM NY conference did not disappoint. The breadth of topics and experiences covered were amazing.  I could have used three of me to cover all the sessions I was interested in attending!
