Andy Westlake is Chairman of the European Sponsorship Association and a Non-Executive Director here at SQN, thus the perfect person to take a look at what the important trends will be within sponsorship for this year.
At our inaugural event in December we brought together partners, clients and friends of SQN for an afternoon of insightful talks followed by networking and drinks at the iconic Ministry of Sound. Andy brought the event to a close with his predictions for this coming year and what ESA members have highlighted as their most pressing issues.
Amongst the areas Andy discussed in his engaging presentation were;
- The power of community and grassroots sports
- Data and the ability to transfer it into actionable insights
- Sponsorship measurement
- Rights holders as media entities
- The integration of sponsorship throughout an organisation
- The power of experiences
- Purpose
- Esports
- The rise of new formats in existing sports, brand new sports and women’s sport.
At the start of the podcast our Client Services Director, Chris Hughes, and Head of Digital, Dan McLaren, took a look at their highlights from last year and what they think you should be watching out for in their own fields of expertise.
