What's a stadium naming rights deal worth?
Are stadium naming rights in Europe trending to be of equal or greater value to those in the NA?
đ¤The state-of-the-art Tottenham Hotpsur Stadium is looking for a naming partner at ÂŁ25m/year, which would put it in the company of Crypto.com Arena, SoFi Stadium, Scotiabank Arena and other giants.
đNA and Europe seem to be stealing from one another's commercial playbooks with pride - NA focused on apparel deals, while Europe on venue deals.
đConsumers tell us how important activation-based assets are to drive meaningful impact - naming rights alone won't do the trick.
SponsorPulse CEO, Adam Mitchell joined Richard Gillis of Unofficial Partner and Dan Gaunt of Turnstile to chat naming rights and whether this stadium is worth the price tag.
Check out Turnstile's valuation of the Stadium.
Growth of Women's Sports and the WNBA touches down in Canada
đ40% of consumers want more investment in women's sports - that's more than in any other sport vertical.
đThe % of North Americans who engage with the league is +10% since 2019 - the gap to men's pro sports is closing.
đWith greater visibility, comes greater frequency. The % of consumers engaging with the league on a weekly basis is +6%.
đ˛That growth is coming from consumers seeking out content - not the limited broadcast exposure the league is receiving! The % of consumers who follow the league in the news, on social, or watch it online has doubled, while the % watching it on TV has stayed the same.
Consumers want more, so let's give them what they want!
