Unleashing the Sports Sponsorship Revolution: A Frustrating Year, but Change is Inevitable

Dear Senior Managers in the World of Sports Sponsorship,


The game has changed. The rules have evolved. And yet, in the competitive world of sports sponsorships, the status quo seems to be holding on for dear life. sportsxglobal.com – a beacon of change, a revolutionary platform that could benefit all in the industry spent most of 2023 knocking on the doors of tradition, shouting, “It's time to shake things up!”


A Year of Frustration, Yet Unyielding Determination

It's been a rollercoaster of a year – a wild journey through the intricacies of the sponsorship game, facing apathy, challenges, and a reluctance to embrace the future. But as the saying goes, "No pain, no gain." And boy, have we felt the pain.


Change isn’t easy, especially when you're disrupting an industry as cutthroat as sports sponsorships. We get it. But clinging onto outdated methods won’t cut it anymore. The time to prepare for the future is now!


Cracking the Code – Or So We Thought

We embarked on a mission, reaching out to the powerhouses of Australian sport – the AFL clubs. We shouted from the rooftops, got the blessing of senior AFL management, and together launched a survey hoping to get intel that could tailor our platform to suit their needs. The response? A whopping four out of eighteen teams bothered to reply. Now, we’re not mathematicians, but those odds aren’t looking too favourable.


Major codes, it's time to wake up! Clubs are crying out for new opportunities to pitch their assets to and meet those revenue targets essential for survival. Surprisingly, this was the only point all four survey respondents could agree on. A universal cry for help.


Taking the Leap: From Top Tier to the Brave Beyond

We get it; being the first to make the leap can be daunting. We pitched to top-tier sports, then took the plunge into the world beyond, only to find hesitation at every corner. But here’s the thing – we won't give up. We'll enter 2024 with renewed energy, determined to make this change because we know it's crucial for the success of our industry.


To those who couldn’t be bothered – half the clubs out there – we don’t care. Whatever it takes to make it easy for your club to get on board, we’re here and ready to help you with whatever it tales to make it happen.


The Future Beckons – 2024, the Year of Transformation

In an industry filled with hard-working operators, we have faith that 2024 will be the year that kickstarted and accelerated the change to the new way. The sports sponsorship revolution is on the horizon, and sportsxglobal.com is leading the charge.


Change is inevitable. The question is, are you ready to be a part of it? We are, and we believe in this industry. Let's make 2024 the year that changed everything.


Revolutionise with us,


The SportsXGlobal Team
