The Power Of Sport

There’s so much to say about sport and we all know that emotions make sport very strong. Strong in terms of the connection with fans and strong in terms of sponsoring and finding a brand fit. Culture and the role of sport in society, the economics of sport, sport marketing, there is so much to discuss and so many interesting fields. 

Within sport, but also broader, I see design, marketing and tech & data as my main components of interest and I always try to learn new things, read articles and books and watch videos or follow webinars to make myself more familiar with those different aspects and making sure I follow new trends.

Make Sure They Remember You

Design is not an isolated term and can entail several things, think of the aesthetics of a football stadium or an indoor arena, the shape of a specific product, the attractiveness of a website or the strong and clear way your brand is presented and put into the market.

Next to that we have certain principles like design thinking to shape and integrate innovative ideas and research design to integrate different components of your study in a coherent and logical way.

Stand Out From All The Noise

Marketing is described by the American Marketing Association as: “The activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.”

You have different types of marketing with influencer marketing now getting a lot of attention thanks to the rise of social media. Other topics can be brand, marketing research and we all know that communication is intertwined and a logical next step after you have defined your marketing strategy.

Technology To Support You

There is a common framework called PPT: people, processes and technology. Those three elements are vital components when thinking of organisational transformation and management. 

A hot topic nowadays is digital transformation and sometimes we tend to forget that it is still about people and having - or changing - a culture, but tools and technology can support you of course in achieving your goals.

Questions for sports organisations

When you start with a project - small or big or somewhere in between - the first thing that you should (or could do) is think about the purpose of it all, because without any purpose it makes no sense to start after all (you could claim that by doing this process or going through iterations, you will see those points appear even if you don't really have an idea what you want to achieve from the start).

A good way to get you going is by asking questions, I did this example for a basketball club and those questions can maybe help you in your project:

  • What data do you currently keep and which platforms do you use for this?
  • Have you worked out different personas?
  • Have you outlined the customer journey?
  • How does the registration of the VIPs work?
    • Do you ask for feedback afterwards and what are the processes for working with that feedback?
  • Do you know what fans are interested in? What kind of content do they expect?
  • Do you have insights into your digital maturity at the moment?
  • Do you intend to direct fans to the website during the game?
  • How does the webshop part fit in the whole story?
  • Do you use tools to analyse the behaviour on the website?
  • Do you use tools such as a digital marketing planner or is this rather in Excel?
  • What type of emails do you currently send out and what is the frequency?
  • Would you use apps? Eg. also for networking through a business club?
  • Are project management tools used? Eg. Asana, Microsoft Teams, etc.
  • Which resources do you store and how (video, photo, other)?

You can of course think of so many more questions, let me know if I can help you with that!
