1. Innovation in Sports Marketing

Innovation is a smarter, better way of getting results. It could be an idea, approach or technology which makes a sports marketing campaign a serious hit. 

This Award will be presented to the agency or brand behind a campaign. Size or scale of the campaign doesn’t matter, it’s the creative ideas and fantastic execution we are looking to recognise.

2. Partnership of the year

The sport industry is full of great partnerships, delivering fantastic value and huge impact for all those involved. 

This Award will recognise a partnership whose work has set new standards in the sport industry. It recognises partnership in the widest sense. It could be a sponsor and property, a sporting event and venue or a city and a sport. 

Entrants will be required to demonstrate how the partnership has helped fulfil specific marketing and business objectives while making a significant and definable contribution to the sport beyond the provision of money.  
For example, this may involve development of the sport, launching new leagues or competitions or re-branding and marketing established properties. The choice is yours!

3. Making the difference 

Sport is a powerful driver of social responsibility programmes and brands are increasingly involved in the successful delivery of these projects. 

This Award will be presented for an innovative and new programme developed between a brand(s) and rights holder which is judged to have most successfully driven positive, sustainable and measurable social change. Again, size doesn’t matter and an international element would be ideal. It’s the innovation and results we are seeking.
