SXSW 2020
Putting Fans in Charge of Honest Sports Marketing
Description:
In a culture where sports brands are often pushed to be socially and politically charged, it can be difficult to strike a relatable tone with a dedicated fan base. Finding expert marketers who are already fans of these brands can help discover the sweet spot behind cause alignment and what rings authentic to their team devotees.
Relying on fans and expert creatives who know their client best can help create authentic content, where spontaneous fad-hopping can cause brand marketing to crash and burn. Industry marketing experts and sports brands will dissect why it pays off to have fans in the boardroom as well as the stands, and the effects this relationship has on maintaining a devoted audience with an honest voice.
