Content programme

Panel One: Inside LaLiga’s Brand Partnerships

Panel Two: What Do Brands Want From Sports Partnerships?

Brand marketing spend has changed drastically over the last five years with most Western markets witnessing over 50% of marketing budget being invested in digital.

Sports rights holders are responding to the changing needs of business with increased digital content output and a more analytical approach to understanding their customers.

However are they doing enough? Are sports bodies offering a relevant and effective mix of engagement opportunities that reflect how brands are buying audiences? Is there still too much reliance on classic sponsorship models?

Equally how do right holders create compelling propositions that make brands stand up and listen?

Panel Three: Working Together To Generate More Captivating Content

Sponsoring a sports property gives a brand a credible reason for entering and hosting the conversation, enabling it to create interesting content due to its access to players, managers and behind-the-scenes action.

Planning and delivering content has become a military operation so how can brands and right holders work best together to ensure this is done successfully? How much flexibility and trust is required between sports and brands to create real-time, honest and authentic content?

Panel Four: Building Value Through Data

Building value through data is not a new concept. Major retailers have been operating sophisticated CRM systems for decades superseded by today’s data blueprint leaders Amazon.

We all want to ‘Amazonify’ our respective businesses but how can brands and sports collaborate most effectively in using data? What are the partnership challenges? What technical solutions work best? Should brand and sports collaboration lead to monetization? Who’s doing it well?
