Choosing the right sport, team and/or athlete

Choosing the right sport and team for sponsorship is crucial in ensuring that the company receives maximum value from its investment. We study our client from a B2B & B2C perspective, then utilise a data-heavy analysis approach that helps to guide them towards the right partnership within sport. A partnership that fits their requirements and will yield the best results, but also fits their preferences on a personal level - sport is a field that fuels passion and a company should be passionate about their partnership. Together we need to ascertain...

Who & where are your target audience?
What do you hope to receive from the partnership?
What's your budget?
What are you passionate about?
