Sponsorship has long been a cornerstone of the sports industry – but the game has changed. Traditionally, sponsorships were activated through broadcast exposure and in-stadium visibility, often based on gut instinct or legacy relationships. But digital platforms have introduced a new era of smarter, more targeted, and more flexible sponsorship strategies.
With the rise of websites, mobile apps, and digital engagement tools, rights holders can now offer far more than just a logo on a shirt or banner. Digital platforms create valuable new inventory, deeper fan connections, and – perhaps most importantly – data.
This shift enables sports organizations to:
Offer more tailored sponsorship packages through audience segmentation and behavioral insights
Deliver measurable results for sponsors by tracking interactions, engagement, and conversions
Enable shorter-term, campaign-based activations, offering brands agility without long-term commitments
Enhance fan experiences through interactive tools like AR, gamified challenges, and exclusive digital content
Sponsorship is no longer just about visibility – it’s about value, flexibility, and fan connection.
