Sports Marketer

Sports Marketers are business professionals who market athletes, sports teams, and venues to the general public — advertising and promoting key events and growing the fanbase. They carry out market research to find new and innovative ways of engaging fans and generating revenue.

As a Sports Marketer you could be running a focus group and survey with fans, meeting with the management team to discuss the upcoming budget, developing a corporate package for potential team sponsors, interviewing players to get a take on their personalities and interests, running a game-day social media campaign, approving artwork and copy for display ads at a sports event, or analysing the metrics from a recent cost-per-click advertising campaign.

To succeed in this occupation you’ll need to be confident, highly organised, and have outstanding personal communication skills.
