• Conventional Sports marketing and sponsorship has changed dramatically in the last five years.
  • Hallmarks of conventional Sports marketing and sponsorship were:
    • Exclusivity;
    • Composite marks used in ads and on packaging;
    • Prime event access and signage;
    • Themed television and print ads; and
    • Success measured by number of impressions.
  • Now, the crucial drivers for the new convention are:
    • Program-based platforms;
    • Quantifiable results measurable by ROI; and
    • Convergence, integration and innovation.
  • But an increasing number of people, not just youth, distrust and avoid conventional marketing approaches and big companies.
    • Action Sports and the creed and graphics they embody are infiltrating the marketing of traditional Sport.
    • Big companies are sprouting a camouflage of small local businesses to grow their new product lines.
