SportBusiness International media pack

2013 media information www.sportbusiness.com

LEADING the pack

The sports industry landscape is constantly evolving. Over the years, new events and leagues have sprung up and others have disappeared. Some sports have embraced a new commercial era whilst others have remained firmly committed to the virtues of amateurism. Sponsors and agencies have proliferated and consolidated and sport has regularly reinvented itself according to prevailing marketing trends. The broadcast landscape has transformed as digital media has revolutionised the sector, paving the way for unimaginable rights fees.

But, amidst the change, one thing has remained constant SportBusiness International.

Since 1996 SportBusiness International has been at the heart of the global sports business community, mapping its changes and signposting the way forward. We are proud to be number one in the business of sport.

Over the years we have reported and analysed the deals that have shaped the industry. We’ve profiled the personalities driving the business and introduced the technology that is fuelling the ongoing revolution. And we have consistently delivered essential insights into the trends, legislation and economic undercurrents that make the industry what it is today and what it will be tomorrow.

SportBusiness International still hosts the industry’s most important debates. Our analysis is relied upon by the major players and our intelligence underpins some of the biggest decisions made in world sport. Our objective remains unchanged: to provide the best data, insight and analysis allowing our readers to spot opportunities and make the best business decisions possible.

The business of sport is built on passion and commitment. They are the qualities that make sport special and the qualities that we share. That passion and commitment is reflected in the pages of SportBusiness International, making it the

Number 1 magazine and Number 1 communications platform for the global business of sport.

HOSTING

& CANDIDATE CITIES - GAIN HIGH-LEVEL INFLUENCE Independent research shows that cities which host sports events gain enormous benefits as a result.

Some host cities are clearly out in front and it is no coincidence that many of the leading players recognise the value that SportBusiness International adds to their campaign to attract major events.

Through a combination of editorial and advertorial features in SportBusiness International and our annual World Class Sports Hosts supplement we can showcase your

facilities, stadia and hosting capabilities City advertisers benefit from our dedicated circulation to IOC, NOC and sports federation decision makers. Distribution at SportAccord International Convention and City Events completes the picture putting you in personal touch with those who decide on future event hosts.

As communication goes increasingly digital, we also offer video solutions and the highest web traffic in the sports industry. By embedding your message digitally you can show sports event decision makers the kind of welcome they can expect in your city.

Finally, every two years, SportBusiness gives out our Ultimate Sports Cities awards which showcase excellence in cities of all sizes. This ultimate accolade is recognised as a badge of greatness among sports hosts, rights holders and event owners.
