Some see sports sponsorship as just another form of influencer marketing, but we see it as a channel that offers more benefits, more variety, and a more powerful form of marketing.
Here are our seven reasons why sports sponsorship should be used in a brand marketing strategy.

We hear it all the time: Sports sponsorship isn't a B2B strategy. There's no concept of B2B sports sponsorship.
While it's a valid concern from companies who focus on B2B sales ... if you think about the pro sports community and the $60B in sponsorship spend that you see at work every time you tune into a game, you’ll realize that this thinking has little merit.
At OpenSponsorship, our vision is to make sports sponsorship easier for everyone. We believe in sport sponsorship as a marketing tool and want all brands – big or small, to benefit from the many positive externalities it brings. Sports sponsorships, particularly athlete endorsements, are one of the most under-utilized social media marketing tools.
