Brand Jam’s mission is to watch, categorise, and compile every sensitive move in the market, mainly “live”, at trade fairs, in a way that allows them to understand the dynamics of a relentless market. Brand Jam shares its contents with an international community of thousands of marketers, buyers, licensors and licensees.

One of Scandinavia’s leading magazine on sport and society is now available in English. Sport is about passion. Sport is about emotion. Sport is about winning and losing. It is about being able to perform in a split second after years of training. But today, sport is also about big business and politics. And that is what the free magazine Sport Executive dedicates its focus to. This is what they have done for three years in Danish – and NOW they are doing it in English.

Global Supporters Group will be at SMMEX International to launch a brand new product. A new invention for fans enabling them to show their support at sporting and music events. A product small enough to fit in your pocket to wear on the forearm with supporting colours. It also includes a self-roll banner to show an added display of support at special moments like goals. In addition the product has the option of changeable displays, also easily removed if needed.
