McKinley Johnston, a sophomore marketing major with a sports marketing concentration in Samford University’s Brock School of Business, will intern with the Savannah Bananas this summer. Known for their engaging fan experiences, the Savannah Bananas are loved by millions on their Tik Tok account for their choreographed dances and untraditional game of “banana ball.” McKinley will go on tour with them as an entertainment and promotions intern and will assist the team in various marketing efforts. “I’m excited to be a part of an organization like the Savannah Bananas,” says McKinley. “There are several new ideas being debuted at each game and no two games are alike. It’s hard not to like the Bananas, especially because everything is geared toward making sure the fan is having the ultimate experience possible.”
