MARKETING AND SPONSORSHIPS
Passion and loyalty – that's what football is renowned for. This applies not only to the club but also to its sponsors.
Companies that support football clubs and / or football competitions are perceived more favorably by the fans and general public and receive multiple positive effects, regardless of whether it's a tech company, financial institution, betting company, automotive or any other industry. At the same time, a strong emotional bond to the brands is created. Studies shows that fans i.e. consumers are more likely to buy products from sponsors of their favorite clubs or competition sponsors.
