Peace of mind in practice
Explore real stories of how Blinder helps high-performance organisations to protect Talent, reduce risks, and deliver high-stakes interviews with confidence.
Port Adelaide Power
“Once I introduced Blinder to the Port Adelaide Football Club, our internal stakeholders - I'm thinking the board, senior executive, coaches and players - loved what we were doing. What they really appreciated was the investment in player care.”
Daniel Norton has visibility of what's going on in all Port Adelaide’s remote interviews, without needing to be part of them.
The Crusaders
“Blinder saves me time, gives me peace of mind that my players’ personal contact details are protected, and it gives the media more access.”
The Crusaders are one of the world’s most successful sports clubs. Maddy Lloyd uncovered a hidden communications issue holding them back.
Tennessee Athletics
Tom Satkowiak and Tennessee Athletics use Blinder to support 550+ student-athletes and coaches within the SEC.
Melbourne Victory FC
“It was as simple as it sounded. It allowed us to be a bit more open and also allowed our players to feel like they could speak and be protected."
Alex Pavlidis believes Blinder makes media interviews dead simple.
U.S. Women's Soccer

Athlete perspective
Rugby Australia
“Blinder really simplifies the process of getting a call or doing an interview. You’re not having to give out your own number. It gets scheduled. You get a text reminding you.”
“It’s a really professional way of doing things.”
What if I have been sharing phone numbers?
Let’s address the Elephant in the room.
A lot of comms/media managers have inherited systems that see the personal contact details of their Talent (like athletes) circulated throughout the media.
The AFL’s Port Adelaide Power used to operate that way. They don’t now. Their advice?
“Rip the band aid off!”

“We do all media calls for our club through Blinder now. We have a full record of what’s going on and it’s saving everyone time. The athletes prefer it. The comms team prefers it. And the media have no qualms once they use Blinder because it works.”
Luke Morfesse manages remote interviews in 25% of the time he used to.
New Zealand Police
“Using Blinder is more reliable than our old ways and it gives everyone confidence. There’s certainty of when the interview will happen. There’s direct access. And then the interview happens. That process builds a lot of trust."
Juli Clausen and her NZP media team make their spokespeople more accessible and get more of their voice out.
Cardiff City FC
“It’s been a lot easier and a lot more effective for us in terms of the time we devote to press obligations. To come back to my desk and press play to check, knowing that everything has been done, is a massive help for me.”
Mark Denham makes the best use of his time with complete peace of mind.
James Madison University Athletics
“It takes me less than a minute to set up an interview and that's all I have to do. We're saving hours a week, especially during football season.”

Varrasso PR
“When I first heard about Blinder, I wanted to know more. How could a journalist call an artist directly - on their personal mobile - without having their number? I’ve been using the system for years now. Having a recording was a big hook for me. And booking a call through Blinder is a fun experience which takes seconds.”
Frank Varrasso believes Blinder is the easiest and most carefree way to arrange media calls.
Netball New Zealand
“Blinder just gave this absolute clarity to be able to connect journalists and athletes together in a really safe way. I wouldn't be able to do my job without it now. It's actually been incredible.”
