The paper used within this publication has been sourced from a Chain of Custody certified manufacturer, operating within international environmental standards such as ISO14001 and EMAS. This is to ensure sustainable sourcing of the raw materials, sustainable production and to minimise our carbon footprint.
When Marketplace was launched in 2010 we could not have imagined the response we would receive. Our readers loved having one resource containing data, contacts and calendar and the convenient format quickly established it as a handy guide. Our decision to go global was also vindicated with advertisers reporting links made throughout the world of sport reflecting both their ambitions and the international nature of the industry. So I’m delighted to welcome you to a bigger and bolder Marketplace 2011 the Global Sports Services Directory. Once again we’ve tried to combine the editorial quality for which SportBusiness is renowned, together with data, an increasingly important part of our offer, and the best images and our trademark fabulous design to make a highly readable publication. Never content with doing the same thing twice, this year we’ve set the bar even higher. New features for 2011 include: zz More valuable industry data in our editorial section – drawn from our publications TV Sports Markets and Sports Marketing Frontiers we can provide some of the best industry data available anywhere helping you to make better business decisions zz More countries and organisations listed – as the events circus continues to spread around the globe we bring you more contacts than ever from NOCs, federations, stadia, broadcasters and of course, sports service providers zz Longer and more comprehensive calendar including business of
sport events – one of the most useful features of the 2010 we include a fully updated and more comprehensive calendar backed up by regular event listings on www.sportbusiness.com Of course SportBusiness Marketplace 2011 would not have been possible without the support of the sports services companies contained within its pages. At a time when business is under pressure it is a testimony to the confidence and ambition of those in sport that our directory is bigger than ever. We welcome back some old friends but are also delighted to push ever further afield with new sports services companies taking us into new and exciting markets. Each advertiser has in common the unique energy, vision and can-do attitude that characterises those in sport the world over. So, when you flick through Marketplace looking for information and contacts ask yourself just one question: ‘where are you?’ Every time we publish a guide like this the phone always rings with those who wonder why they are not included. If you can’t find your organisation, contact us today to get an online listing and make sure you don’t miss out. Happy reading and a prosperous 2011.

SANTA MÓNICA SPORTS Leading the evolution of sports marketing Sports sponsorship is undoubtedly one of the most cost-effective marketing tools available to brands. It generates value including brand exposure and recognition while linking brands to sports events and personalities in ways that are difficult to replicate in direct media advertising. The 2010 World Cup in South Africa provided the perfect venue to connect with a worldwide audience of around 700 million people. This huge TV audience watched for almost a month the best football teams together with the brands that supported them. Santa Monica Sports is responsible for creating the brand alliances of two of this year’s most successful teams, the Spanish and Argentinean national teams. In addition, Santa Mónica Sports has managed to export the successful sports-marketing blueprint used in football to other sports such as sailing, using integrated media content through various platforms including the Internet. The Spanish national team entered the 2010 World Cup as one of the favourites, but its road to victory was still an amazing achievement for everyone involved. Manager Vincente del Bosque has built a team that right from the start was difficult to beat, indeed his record makes him the most successful Spanish national coach of all time. Off the pitch, a professionally managed and effective national squad sponsorship programme has further strengthened the team and contributed to Spain’s success. Santa Mónica Sports sponsorship programme has generated an excellent return on investment for sponsors. Jesús Samper, President of Santa Mónica Sports, commented on Spain’s participation in the 2010 World Cup “we make sure the sponsor always wins. This year, Spain’s success has generated extended brand recognition whilst our playing style was a real thrill, and winning… well, that was just the stuff of dreams”. Created in Spain over 30 years ago, Santa Mónica Sports has taken full advantage of its ability to understand the potential of sports marketing and sponsorship with its commitment to building value for its clients and partners. The creation of a South American subsidiary in Argentina has allowed this understanding to be translated across continents. Since 2007, Santa Mónica Sports has managed the rights to the Argentinean national team, another of the 2010 World Cups favourites. All this and more at www.gruposantamonica.com
promote online audiovisual content for the RFEF and the football and futsal teams whose rights are managed by GSMS. The website was launched just before the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa with the aim of providing a dynamic central hub for football fans. Club Selección.tv is a free, interactive website which only requires user-registration giving access to key content such as live internet broadcasting of RFEF matches. www.clubseleccion.tv
More than football Santa Mónica Sports also includes World Sailing Management, which manages the world’s leading regatta circuit, the Audi MedCup Circuit. The MedCup was created in 2005 and is already considered the world’s most competitive sailing circuit with five regattas in five different locations across four southern European countries and attracts some of the best sailors in the world including Olympic champions and America’s Cup crews. New for 2011 will be the Soto 40 class which is a 40 foot high performance one design class that is already attracting a high level of interest with entries from South America, France and Spain confirmed. The TP52 Series class continues to evolve with at least four new boats confirmed for 2011. 2010 World Champions Quantum Racing, the American team which won the 2008 Audi MedCup title, were the first to commit to a new boat, but there are expected to be new boats for the Russian crew Synergy Sailing Team, as well as Argentina’s Matador and a new British team of Skype cofounder Niklas Zennstrom, who will steer his own new build boat. All the action is captured by the Audi MedCup TV, a digital channel that broadcasts the Audi MedCup Circuit races live on the official website www.medcup.org, a six-language multimedia platform.
ClubSelección.tv Club Selección.tv is a digital platform developed by Grupo Santa Monica Sports (GSMS) and the Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) to

The Audi MedCup Circuit leads in every area: the best sailors in the world, racing the most exciting classes of grand prix high tech monohulls to the highest level. The Circuit comprises five top city-side regatta venues in four Southern European countries. In 2010 it came of age in every respect, with fantastic innovative live web-TV coverage, a comprehensive Public Village to broaden the appeal to non-sailing fans of all ages and a refined and popular VIP hospitality package which includes the Crew+ opportunity to sail as
a guest on the race boats during racing. New for 2011 will be the Soto 40 which is a 40-foot high performance one design class already attracting a high level of interest with entries from South America, France and Spain already confirmed. The TP52 Series fleet has matured with successive generations of boats now enjoying extremely close racing where small mistakes costing mere metres can make the difference between first and last. medcup.org

SportBusiness Intelligence, the new market intelligence unit from SportBusiness Group, analyses THE MOST VALUABLE RIGHTS DEALS SIGNED BY BROADCASTERS IN 2010. The biggest media rights deal of 2010 was the National Collegiate Athletics Association’s (NCAA) mammoth 14-year deal with CBS and Turner, worth $10.8 billion in total. The deal, which begins in 2010-11, gives the NCAA a 41-per-cent increase in its average annual rights fee over the period, in comparison with the old deal. The vast bulk of the value is in the Men’s Division I Basketball Championship, also known as March Madness. The NCAA’s previous deal, with free-to-air network CBS alone, had three seasons left to run, but the NCAA took advantage of a break clause to negotiate a new one early. CBS partnered with cable-television operator Turner on the deal to spread the huge cost and shut out rival bidder ESPN, which is approaching a dominant position in US sports broadcasting. The new NCAA deal was lauded as a win-win deal for the broadcasters and rights-holder, which gave some long-term financial security to all participants at a time of great economic uncertainty. Another long-term US college sports deal comes fifth on the list – ESPN’s $1.86 billion, 12-year deal for the championships organised by the 12 universities in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Major League Baseball franchise Texas Rangers’ 20-year deal with regional sports network Fox Sports Southwest, worth a reported $80 million a year, comes in seventh. The biggest deal of the year signed outside the US was for Turkish football’s domestic league, the Super Lig, where fees rose 126 per cent to $374.7 million in an auction that lasted almost four hours and was shown live on national television. The increase was driven by platform-based competition between satellite broadcaster Digitürk and telco Turk Telecom, which were competing for the main live rights packages. Bidding started at $215 million and went up in increments of $50,000, ending only after Turk Telecom dropped out after its $320.95 million offer was exceeded by Digitürk. Turk Telecom picked up mobile rights as a consolation prize and state broadcaster TRT won highlights and secondtier football. The Mediapro agency’s extension of its contract with Spanish football club FC Barcelona was the third-largest deal of the year. The new agreement consolidates

2014 World Cup: Deals yet to be concluded in Spain and sub-Saharan Africa Source: SportBusiness Intelligence
Mediapro’s hold on Spanish football rights despite its financial problems – its Mediaproducciones subsidiary requested voluntary insolvency proceedings in June. The extension of the deal was one of the final acts of outgoing president Joan Laporta, done only days before the inauguration of long-term rival Sandro Rossell as his successor. Together with Real Madrid, Barcelona accounts for 45 per cent of the Spanish league’s total television rights income, an inequality that has prompted a series of talks about a fairer revenue distribution. At the latest talks, an offer from the two big clubs to reduce
34
their share to 34 per cent had been positively received by all but four clubs. Uefa’s deal in Germany for Euro 2012 was the fourth-largest of 2010, although European football’s governing body would have been hoping for more than a four-per-cent increase on what public-service broadcasters ARD and ZDF had paid for Euro 2008. It has yet to agree deals in any of the other big five European markets, despite agreeing deals in the smaller European countries and Asia. The deal with the Sportfive agency for selected Asian and Australasian territories also makes the list. The agency is thought
Getty Images
to be guaranteeing about $70 million, around 50 per cent more than what the same territories paid for Euro 2008. The deal covers 49 territories, including China, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Vietnam and Australia and incorporates the rights for the 2011 and 2013 European Under 21 Championships and Women’s Euro 2013. Rugby union, unusually, features twice in the list, with the renewal of the Sanzar rights agreement in fifth position and the International Rugby Board’s biggest-ever television rights deal, with UK commercial broadcaster ITV for the 2011 and 2015 Rugby World Cups, in ninth place. The Sanzar deal represented an increase of about 35 per cent on the previous fiveyear deal, justifying the decision to tender the rights separately in each of the key markets for the first time as opposed to extending a pan-regional agreement with Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation. ITV meanwhile more than doubled the amount it paid for the 2003 and 2007 World Cups, beating off strong competition from pay-television broadcaster BSkyB. An extension of the European Broadcasting Union’s deal with the International Ski Federation is the last deal on the list. The agreement covers the worldwide broadcasting and marketing rights for the 2015 and 2017 World Championships. The fee is about 10 per cent down on what the EBU will pay for the 2011 and 2013 events, but the federation did well to avoid an even larger drop, persuading the Sportfive and Infront Sport & Media agencies to submit bids that stoked the competitive pressure on the EBU. Falling advertising
revenues, a lack of competition in the key German market and a lack of interest from pay-television operators all combined to depress the perceived value of the rights, as did the expectation that one of either the 2015 or 2017 Alpine World Championships will be held in the US. The world’s most valuable sports television property In terms of global television revenue, American football’s NFL remains head and shoulders above the rest, generating an estimated $3.9 billion a year from national and international rights contracts. The two big international events, the Summer Olympics in 2012 and the Fifa World Cup in Brazil two years later are the next on the list, although the broadcast rights income from those events is spread by both the International Olympic Committee and Fifa over a four-year period. The 2014 Winter Olympics do not feature in the table, as the IOC has yet to agree most of its major rights deals for the 2014 and 2016 Games. It is estimated that a little over $200 million has so far been guaranteed for the Sochi Games in 2014, through deals in Brazil, Korea, Italy, Spain, Turkey and a range of smaller European countries. The IOC will start talks in the US, its biggest market, early next year. A 100-per-cent increase in international rights revenue has helped the English Premier League retain its position as the highest-grossing sports league outside the US, although a flat domestic market meant

that overall growth was limited to 25 per cent. Italy’s Serie A, in two-season deals starting this year, saw television revenues grow by a similar amount. The clubs were guaranteed a minimum $850 million per year under a six-year consultancy agreement with the Infront Sports & Media agency. France’s Ligue 1 and Spain’s La Liga also make the Top 10 list – leaving only Germany’s Bundesliga of the top five European leagues not to make the cut. The Bundesliga has suffered from the comparative weakness of the German pay-television market. International revenues are growing fast – the current deals are worth more than double the amounts paid previously – but this has yet to offset the stagnancy at home. Uefa’s Champions League also makes the list, in

sixth position, ahead of the US’s other major sporting leagues – the National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball, although the table does not take into account the considerable broadcast-related fees that NBA and, in particular, MLB teams receive from regional sports networks, some of which are run as joint-ventures with the local team franchises. Champions League revenues grew some 35 per cent in the present cycle, with negotiations for the next threeyear period starting late this year.

In general, do you think sport is doing enough to meet the needs of sponsors? The good news for all concerned is that the data shows quite a high degree of satisfaction with the efforts of those representing sports properties to meet sponsors’ needs. A total of 64% were, if not ecstatic, then at least content to give a positive response to the question. A more worrying 33% expressed a degree of frustration and some light may be shed on their concerns in the next question.
What, in your view, should sports properties do to meet their sponsors needs better? Respondents gave a score according to as many aspects as they thought needed attention. The surprise winner in this category is a plea for more immersive marketing opportunities with over half (52%) keen to engage at a deeper level. Responses to other questions have seemed to suggest that sponsors are content to allow sport simply to provide a conduit for their sophisticated messages. But this reaction suggests there is still an appetite among sponsors to bring sport into the heart of their relationship with consumers. A response like this poses more questions than it answers: who wants this opportunity, for which audience do they see this approach as appropriate and what would sport actually do to deliver. Future surveys will no doubt explore these questions further. The high score given to player access will come as no surprise but the 48% who would like better access to marketing database are worth listening to. This is »

brands & marketing « not an impossibly hard request to accede to and could have a real impact on effectiveness and ROI. This question has to be looked at against a backdrop of an unremitting flow of stories concerning the behaviour of our sporting heroes both on and off the field of play. It is no surprise therefore that sponsors’ attitudes have been as affected. One third (32%) of respondents felt that sport had to sort itself out to continue to be a role model and brand vehicle. Given that the group between them represents around $300 million in annual sponsorship spend, sport had better hope that this feeling does not translate into action. Twenty-three per cent felt so strongly as to suggest that some sports are now so tainted that no sponsor would sensibly go near them. Whilst only 6% were considering a switch to arts or community causes, those who were sticking with sport were looking at a range of additional protections. 17% were now disinclined to sponsor individual athletes and 23% were building in legal escape clauses into their contracts. The good news for those sports which have taken active steps to eradicate cheating and control their
wayward stars is that sponsors are starting to take this into account in their decision making. Twenty-one per cent may not be overwhelming but it suggests that there will be a pay back for those efforts. Perhaps the most startling finding was the response from 35% of brand managers whose view of sponsorship was unchanged. Whilst only 2% went as far as to say that scandal adds to the appeal of sport, clearly for this group it will take a bit more than some lurid headlines to put them off. Perhaps their expectations are low or maybe they simply recognise that sports heroes still sell their products however much their feet of clay are exposed. Perhaps most interesting is the difference between views of the Olympics versus the World Cup. The World Cup is seen as having a much more dominant impact during the competition. Anecdotal evidence from events such as the Wimbledon Tennis Grand Slam one day of which clashed with an England World Game suggested that there was an impact. Demand for ground passes was lower and TV audiences for the football were considerably higher despite the team’s lack-lustre performance on the field. The flip side of this domination is the perception of

value for sponsors. Whilst there was a high degree of consensus that both the Olympics and World cup don’t match in value what they command in fees. However, there were far fewer who strongly agreed and many prepared to disagree with this contention for Fifa’s crown jewel property. In the next section we tried to get a view of the perceived sophistication of the industry and the extent to which best practice was well communicated across the sponsor community and between brands and sport. To what extent do you believe there is a need for greater professional development in sports marketing for brands, rights holders and agencies? Despite years of complaining that rights holders struggled to understand the needs of sponsors it is perhaps a surprise that, among the sponsor community, the consensus is that brands are at least as much in need of professional development as any other group. This may reflect the increasingly cluttered marketplace or the sophistication required to activate a major global campaign.
Among the specific requests for development were: zz Authentic and imaginative activation zz Cultural differences in east Asia zz Understanding and use of data zz Rights valuations and return on investment zz Creativity in pitching genuinely unique
opportunities to sponsors zz Sport from the fans’ perspective.
Finally what is on the horizon for you in sports sponsorship? It is perhaps surprising that return on objectives continues to dominate the thoughts of sponsors. Whilst they have ambitions regarding authentic conversation, CSR and new markets or technology, their overriding concern is to extract value from their investments. Conclusions Hopefully the data presented will allow those in the industry to draw some actionable conclusions but it is possible to summarise two key takeaways: zz Sponsors want it all – global brands are under pressure to engage across all media and vehicles »

Public Authorities and the Funding of Sport Much has been made of the amounts paid by city, regional and national governments to attract and host major events but cash is just one part of the picture. David Walmsley, author of new SportBusiness report Sport and the Role of Government, finds that whilst cash may be king, sport has much to gain from the broad support of government. The wider benefits of sport have long been recognised, but the social policy agendas across which it cuts have only latterly come to the fore. In Australia, the Victorian Government established the Victorian Major Events Company (VMEC) in 1991 with broad brush intent. VMEC Chief Executive Brendan McClements explains: “VMEC was created to not only identify and maximise the economic benefits of major events for the State but to also capture the social benefits that major events can deliver, including building community pride and spirit. It’s hard for me to say what others may have been doing, but I suspect it was rare to have this social focus at that time. “The strategy objectives identified in 1991 remain current today and the success of VMEC is because it has been very focused on what it wants to achieve. How we go about pursuing these has evolved but the underlying objectives remain the same.” Sport is increasingly seen as an effective tool of public policy and this can take a wide variety of formats. Whilst much local authority work takes place well away from the glow of major events, many will use high profile activities to act as a catalyst to achieve their wider community objectives. Indeed, there are some who recommend that broader public policy goals can only be served by a combination of strategic and grassroots approaches.
44
The Laureus Sport For Good Foundation reporting in July 2009 suggested that a combination of factors are required to achieve success. These, it suggested, are the provision of high quality facilities, access for all including disadvantaged groups and opportunities to participate. Rather than expecting the magic dust to automatically spread in the presence of stars, they show that specific work with high-profile elite athletes who will often come with a major event is best used to reinforce policy work and other initiatives. The city of Manchester uses star athletes to activate its major events programme in this way and the presence of leading international coaches to deliver master classes for grassroots athletes and coaches alike. Grassroots activation may differ widely according to the needs of communities but many cities recognise the lead role that major events and elite sport can play in making progress. Those that seek to tap into this enthusiasm should recognise public authorities may not necessarily back up their intentions with tax-payers money and that this in itself may not be terminal as far as effective relationships are concerned. Approaches to public sector involvement in event staging centre on two main issues: zz The scope and sophistication of the public authority’s hosting policy; and
Getty Images
The extent of its involvement in the delivery of zz the event. The public sector hosting policy spectrum is an extremely broad one, ranging from local health organisations organising an annual fun run at one end to sports host cities like Melbourne, Manchester and Singapore (the last the host of 700 events during 2009 alone) at the other. At the top end, in Australia, for example, the State of Victoria allocated AUS$55 million per year for funding major events between 2006-07 and 2010-11, and then topped this up with an additional AUS$34.2 million over the final three years of that period in recognition of the rising cost of winning hosting rights. Manchester, in contrast, has a budget of little over £1 million a year and has consequently adopted a different approach by developing alternative events of its own. In 2009, this strategy brought double Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt to a public 150m race in the city centre following a mass participation running event, as well as a Europe v USA swimming meet dubbed ‘The Duel in the Pool’. The City Council’s Head of Leisure, Eamonn O’Rourke, says of this tactic: “A year ago we began to feel that accredited events were pricing themselves out of our market. We wouldn’t have bid for the world swimming championships against Dubai, for example. I’m not sure whether that has changed but we won’t be driven by the events market. “Usain Bolt in May and the Duel in the Pool in
December were manufactured events but we still received world recognition for them. I am a fan of accredited events but if they are out of your range, manufactured events can be as good.” In Singapore, the responsibility of the state’s Sports Council (SSC) for all strands of sports activity, not just event hosting, means it works with an even wider range of public partners, both within and beyond government. Chief Executive Officer Oon Jin Teik explains: “Within the public sector, we work with other government bodies such as the National Parks Board (NParks), the Health Promotions Board (HPB), the Media Development Agency, the Economic Development Board (EDB) and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) on a wide range of sportsrelated initiatives. “Collaborations with the Urban Redevelopment Authority are critical to our long-term plans for use of land to support sports activities. We work with EDB to promote Singapore as the city for sports business in the region. With the MDA, for example, we run a funding model to develop new sports broadcast content. NParks is a resource when we plan the logistics for our marquee sporting events such as the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon. “We have a major partnership with the Ministry of Education (MOE) in the form of an innovative funding model called the Sports Education Programme (SEP). It has increased the repertoire of sports programming available within the schools. Not every child wants to play football or basketball; SEP is an ideal way for a school to try alternative sports. SEP has also proved to

be effective marketing tool for SSC policy on issues such as safety and continuing coach education; and it provides a market for small to mid-sized enterprises to ‘sell’ their sports services products. We also partner with the MOE to promote the use of school’s sports fields and internal sports halls and gymnasiums for use by the public. When choosing to host, local capability and willingness to become involved is a big determinant of the events a city can attract as some events require more of a hands-on approach than others. Here again there are alternatives to direct involvement which make a partnership approach one that still has significant value to sport. Emerging economies such as Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, which operate on a central model are most likely to be attracted to a handson approach and they often have the resources to manage it effectively. At the other end of the spectrum, the city of Gothenburg has an approach based its surrounding region’s network of volunteer sports clubs. Clubs’ expertise is engaged to run the competition side of events while the city handles promotion and accommodation. Manchester and Melbourne sit in between the two extremes, willing to act as operators but also as receptive to events driven by property owners. Manchester tends towards a more strategic role in the process. The City Council’s Eamonn O’Rourke says: “With the British National Squash Championships we have an events team and we want to make sure it delivers on all its objectives. But with the Manchester Run, [events agency] Nova International drives that. “We deal with the road closures and the health and safety but we don’t have any event staff on it. The direction of travel is to get out of operation. There are enough event operators out there; our job should be strategy and procurement and to focus on legacy.” Retreat from the direct delivery role recasts the public sector as an enabler of sport rather than a provider itself. This approach is already common in Germany, where the public authorities promote sports participation through clubs, which are the primary vehicle for delivering policy. An absence of direct funding to stage sporting events may also leave the door open to other opportunities. Training community members in programme delivery can enable them to become self-sustaining, while public
authorities can also provide a wide range of logistical support to event operators. Support of this nature can be extended further if public authorities think more widely about what they have to offer. O’Rourke says:“Our relationships with police and health authorities are assets. We can close Deansgate at four weeks’ notice. It’s all about the ability to think and deliver outside the box.” Although some sports events require a fee or tariff from potential hosts, it is much more common for public money to be ploughed into investment in staging facilities. Appetite for this type of investment will vary depending on events to be staged and the availability and condition of existing venues. All the talk these days is of legacy so it will be no surprise that public investment of this kind will have at least two objectives: to stage events and to provide facilities for local communities to participate in sport when the circus has left town. Access to investment of this nature will depend on persuading authorities that there is both a viable legacy use and that this use meets the needs of the community. Trends towards alternative and more informal settings for sports like running and cycling can make this a challenge. Evidence shows that participation of this nature can make a valuable contribution to public health particularly as so-called “hard to reach” groups are more likely to be found in non-formal sports settings. Public investment in spectator sports stadia tends to carry a far higher price tag than investment in participation facilities, particularly at the major and mega event level. Even a regional championship in a second tier sport can require hosts to dig deep. However, these sums have been dwarfed by the levels of subsidy provided for professional teams’ stadium developments in the USA. Many observers however, believe the high water mark for such investments has now passed. NASC Executive Director Don Schumacher says: “Ten or 15 years ago it was very common to see cities or counties providing new venues for professional teams. That is uncommon today. The number of new major league pro venues built recently with public funds has decreased dramatically. The truth is US cities simply don’t have money to spend on new venues and voters are currently unlikely to approve stadium-financing tax rises. We have passed through the era of public support.” There are still many sports societies that believe in
47
events the value of spectator sport facilities but Schumacher detects a shift in the US. The focus there is towards mass participation facilities that benefit the local community, but which can also stage amateur tournaments that attract teams and athletes from out of town. Whilst the considerations above may see governments refusing to fund venues directly, a wider understanding of their role should encourage would-be promoters and developers to look again at what help can be obtained. This help can be vital in bringing a development to fruition but it may require another look at issues beyond simply the venue itself. Most public authorities will control where and what type of buildings are approved for development. In the case of a major sporting arena, the footprint of the development is likely to attract considerable scrutiny. The capital costs may also rely on a mix of revenues to service making sport just one of several activities which happen in a broader leisure and retail setting. Each of these uses will have an impact on a community and require planning consents and permissions. Indeed, a large development will often stall without the requisite political will to drive it. Local priorities may mean that the ideal out-of-town location becomes impossible if permissions and grants are attached to developments that regenerate a city centre, for example. A major stadium project will raise considerations of transport and road links and these are all easier to accommodate if the overall plan dovetails with a city’s needs. Life in public-private sports partnerships is not always a bed of roses and most participants in such initiatives recognise that differences in objectives, philosophy and ways of working can all become sources of tension in the relationship. First-hand advice on limiting conflict between partners centres on the importance of trust, clarity and respect for boundaries. VMEC Chief Executive McClements says his organisation’s approach to avoiding and resolving conflict considers differences of opinion as an opportunity to re-inspect the partnership’s foundations and be sure all agreed interests continue to be met as the project develops. He says: “The best way to address it is to have a strong relationship built on trust at the outset; make sure you spend some time early on getting clarity around shared objectives
48
and then deal with differences that may arise quickly, honestly and constructively.” In Singapore, SSC Chief Executive Oon Jin Teik believes it is unrealistic for partners to expect their goals, structures and systems will ever be a perfect fit and that recognising and respecting their differences is key to making sports PPPs work. “Partnerships and relationships are always evolving,” he says. “In most instances, our interests overlap extensively with those of our partners, but we don’t expect an identical match. However, all parties must be willing to respect ‘no-go’ areas in addition to knowing when to be flexible for the sake of a greater, common good.” However well-meant the intentions of all partners may be, there are a number of key issues that are consistently highlighted by actors in sports PPPs as potential causes of friction. These may include: zz Conflicts of interest and/or priorities, zz Differing expectations, zz Lack of trust or confidence in partners, and zz Frustration with bureaucracy. The public sector is likely to see a deepening of demand for its role as both a funder and a provider, although the nature of these roles may change according to the circumstances in which public sector organisations find themselves. In emerging economies less affected by the global financial crisis, public sector funding for projects that advance wider economic development goals – primarily event hosting – is likely to remain readily accessible. In industrialised economies burdened by budget deficits, public finance will be under sustained pressure for some considerable time. Sports, properties and enterprises seeking a share of this shrinking pool will be under greater pressure to demonstrate a wider range of benefits they can deliver. Economic gains will be important but, as Manchester City Council’s Head of Leisure, Eamonn O’Rourke, points out: “As we move forward, with public spending challenged we will be challenged more and more on this. It is in event owners’ interest to demonstrate they can bring more than economic benefit.” Even financially challenged public sector organisations will wish to continue supporting sports initiatives that help deliver important policy objectives, so there may be a further switch from funding to enabling. Public authorities may need to reduce funding for some projects but will be able to cushion the blow with a raft of supportive in-kind benefits.
SPORT AND THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Government support for sport and healthy living has grown even during the recession. Some even believe that public sector support is the new sponsorship. However, government objectives are often very different from commercial sponsors and pressure on public �inances means they can be increasingly demanding about achieving them. The only winning approach is effective partnership. Sport and the Role of Government �inds that governments look set to sustain or even increase their involvement in sport. This unique report provides you with a framework for the lifetime of
the relationship between public and private sectors and contains guidance and examples of partnerships that have succeeded.
We identify the characteristics of organisations which are well matched and provide you with a practical template to establish effective working relationships. This includes measurement and the reporting of outcomes, which is crucial for any good partnership. For more information: Tel: +44(0)207 954 3514 www.sportbusiness.com/government

CASE LAW Bernardo Domingues investigates the legal cases which have had the greatest impact on sports commerce in the past 12 months with the help of four leading lawyers.
Sport versus betting scandals THe YEAR 2010 saw a number of high-profile matchfixing allegations with tabloid stings apparently exposing members of the Pakistan cricket team and snooker’s John Higgins. Sports as diverse as greyhound racing and lawn bowls have also been forced into a very public debate about their relationships with the betting industry and how they protect the integrity of their competitions. Given the rapid growth of the global sports betting market (currently worth in excess of $300 billion) and the potential liberalisation of several other significant markets (such as the European Union, India, the US
and China) sports betting looks set to become the growth sector within the sports industry. However, the proliferation of sports betting (and in particular the evolution of online and in-play betting) increases the risk to the integrity of sport from corrupt elements. In the face of such risks, there is growing support among many sports for the creation of specific betting legislation that enables sport to gain greater protection. Such a regime will not be created overnight and in the meantime governing bodies are left to confront these challenges alone.
“Is it possible for governing bodies to benefit from the commercial opportunities generated by betting whilst simultaneously doing all they can to ensure that their sports are clean? Drafting effective rules on betting, informationsharing and player education is essential, as is the implementation of effective procedures to capture, share and act on intelligence about irregular betting activity. But it is those sports that control the collection and distribution of their own data which have a significant advantage in defending against integrity threats. By producing fast, accurate and ‘official’ data, more betting operators can be converted into licensees, allowing governing bodies to achieve closer co-operation with the industry as a whole, restrict types of ‘sensitive’ bets and produce new revenues to fund pro-integrity initiatives.” Steven Burton Head of sports data and betting group at Couchmans LLP

American Needle versus NFL Kit manufacturer American Needle challenged the National Football League’s exclusive headwear deal with Reebok in the US Supreme Court. The league argued that because it was effectively a single entity in its commercial deals, it should be exempt from the antitrust provisions of the 1890 Sherman Act, which outlaws cartels. In May, the court unanimously rejected the argument, raising fears that other forms of collective selling could no longer be justified under US law. Some experts say the ruling means all sports leagues structured in a way similar to the NFL will have to re-think joint licensing agreements involving member teams. Others argue that it could even prevent the league from continuing
to sell its television rights collectively. Major League Baseball enjoys an exemption from US antitrust law, while the other three leagues – the National Hockey League, the National Basketball Association and the National Football League – were granted an exemption to allow them to sell television rights collectively in the 1961 Sports Broadcasting Act. Is there now a greater chance that the collective selling of television rights will face a challenge in the courts by both team owners who believe they can make a lot more money selling their rights individually, and by broadcasters who want league matches to be packaged and divided among more than one broadcaster?
“The ruling in American Needle is very significant in imposing antitrust regulation on most agreements among sports teams’ owners which restrict competition, but it will not affect the ability of the NFL teams to jointly sell their television rights. The reason is that there is a special law in the United States, called the Sports Broadcasting Act, which specifically grants the NFL and certain other team sports the right to collectively sell such broadcasting rights without any antitrust restriction. The American Needle decision did not affect the antitrust exemption granted by the Sports Broadcasting Act in any way.” Jeffrey L. Kessler Partner and global litigation department chair at Dewey & LeBoeuf

Sponsors versus moral indiscretions Accenture, AT&T and Gatorade all found an escape route from their sponsorship ties with Tiger Woods after a string of revelations about the golf player’s marital infidelities hit the papers. However, Gillette only limited the golfer’s role in its marketing campaigns, just as Coca-Cola did on finding itself in a similar position with Wayne Rooney. None have disclosed their contractual arrangements. Do sponsors need to be more aware of moral issues damaging their brands in light of recent media
storms? Some may now want “moral indiscretion” clauses to be included in contracts with star players. But can moral indiscretion be defined sufficiently to protect brands? Traditionally, sponsorship contracts can only be cancelled when there is a whiff of damage to reputation, when either a charge is made by a relevant authority or a conviction achieved. Is it possible to sign a team up to a moral indiscretion clause, potentially making a group of people liable for the misdemeanours of an individual?
“With return on sponsorship investment being increasingly global, there is an inevitable risk to brand owners that those whom they sponsor or use to endorse their products can cause widespread damage to those brands if caught up in morally questionable incidents. An attendant difficulty in protecting brand owners is that moral questionability is inevitably subjective – what offends you may not offend me – hence the traditional use of criminal charges/conviction as a benchmark for damage to reputation. It seems that with the current outbreak of media outrage at the personal lives of Tiger Woods, and Wayne Rooney, the dubious business acumen of John Higgins and unlikely cricketing scenarios of Pakistan and the Essex bowler, Mervyn Westfield, the pendulum may have swung in a brand owner’s favour to dictate what may cause damage to their brand. This may be a more difficult, but not impossible, position to sustain in relation to team sponsorship – collective responsibility may be a powerful doctrine in some instances.” Bob Mitchell Partner and head of the Sports Group at Harbottle & Lewis

Premier League versus the Red, White and Blue pub The European Court of Justice (ECJ) hearing in the Premier League’s case against Karen Murphy, landlady of the Red, White and Blue pub in Portsmouth, UK, took place in the court’s Grand Chamber on October 5 2010 with a ruling not due for several months. Alongside the criminal case against Murphy is a civil case against QC Leisure and AV Station, two suppliers in the UK of foreign television smartcards and four other publicans. At the heart of the dispute there is a clash between two principles of European law: the free movement of goods and services between EU member states
and the right of content producers to sell licenses for their intellectual property on an exclusive national basis. If the court privileges the free movement of goods and services over copyright protection, this could prevent the league from requiring licensees across Europe to ensure that their broadcasts are not available in other EU territories. A more conservative view is that, in practice, it would lead to nothing more than an expansion of the existing “grey market”, in which many expatriates already subscribe to television services from their homeland, many using a bogus address, or can access them through devices like Slingbox.
“A decision in favour of QC Leisure/Karen Murphy will have massive implications for any rights holder selling its rights on an exclusive individual territory basis within Europe including the Premier League – £1.4 billion is the reported value of the Premier League’s overseas broadcasting rights. Remove a broadcaster’s exclusive right to broadcast and you remove its exclusive ability to charge for such content and finance such fees. With many sports/rights holders heavily dependent on such income there will need to be a major rethink as to how such rights are sold to guarantee the continued success of such sports/ rights holders.” Jason Smith Partner at Brabners Chaffe Street

BRANDS IN MOTION Specialists in creating sustainable Licensing Programs for Sporting Federations and Events Over the past six years, Velocity Brand Management (VBM) has established itself as one of the world’s preeminent sports licensing agencies, with its primary focus on developing licensing and merchandising programs for sporting federations and events. With its head office in Sydney, Australia, VBM has over 30 licensing specialists located throughout Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the Sub-Continent and is the exclusive licensing agent for various national and international sporting teams and federations including the International Cricket Council, English Cricket Board, Cricket Australia, New Zealand Black Caps, Football Federation Australia, All Blacks, National Rugby League, Netball Australia, ANZ Championship, V8 Supercars and New Zealand Rugby League. Additionally VBM is also responsible for the licensing and merchandising programs for major international sporting events and tournaments including the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011, 2010 Ashes Series and Rugby World Cup 2011. “VBM prides itself on creating exceptional licensing brand programs that are memorable, profitable and the leading edge of licensing practices”, said James Ashworth, Managing Director of VBM. Since its foundation in 2004, VBM has continually challenged common licensing practices and developed innovate ways to leverage and enhance its clients commercial
72
programs and brands. This is achieved through VBM developing strategies whereby their team capitalises on the potential value of the brand in structuring unique and innovative deals, developing structured category plans and maxamising global reach. VBM’s philosophy is to ensure that all programs are developed with a long term approach in mind and that they are sustainable and relevant to the market and territories in which they are implemented. Furthermore, VBM strives to integrate the licensing program into the various other layers of a brands commercial program. In the case of event based programs, lead times are maximized to their full potential, as evidence through its current roll out of the upcoming Rugby World Cup 2011 program being staged throughout New Zealand. In October 2008, VBM’s RWC 2011 apparel licensee launched its initial range of event merchandise – some 37 months out from kick off.

Challenges: Creating the best route to market Rights-holders face many challenges when it comes to selling their media rights. Not least very few sports have bargaining power when it comes to selling them – for most, it’s a buyers market. In order to develop a successful media strategy, sports-rights holders need to know the characteristics of the market they are selling into and how the valuations that operators place on sports content are determined by the operator’s underlying business model. Having a better understanding of why commercial broadcasters, public-service broadcasters, pay-TV companies, internet and mobile operators want sport and what kind of sport they want will enable rightsholders to adapt both their sport and their strategies to meet the demands of a competitive market.
Challenges: How to buy killer content For companies in the broadcast sector looking at giving their platform an edge, content is king but sports content is emperor. Whether it be traditional linear channels, pay-television platforms, telcos or ‘new media’ operators, sport has become the vital form of content which has driven commercial success for a number of broadcasters, operators and telcos. Acquiring top sports programming is very complex. There is no magic formula for valuing sports content and with rights-holders’ increasingly higher financial expectations and sophisticated sales strategies, it is a risky business which can be very expensive. Buyers therefore need to organise themselves and SportBusiness Intelligence provides comprehensive insight and assistance for media companies looking to acquire audiovisual sports rights.
Our team and experience Understanding the audio-visual sports rights sector requires many years of experience and knowledge and an excellent network of contacts in the industry. On these two key criteria, SportBusiness Intelligence is better connected to the sector than other research houses or companies. This is because our team offers a compelling unique mix of market intelligence and consultancy experience which gives us a unique position to provide highly successful results for our clients. Our market intelligence team, led by Ben Speight, formerly associate editor of the acclaimed TV Sports Markets newsletter, track closely the changes and developments in the industry, following a large number
of territories across the world and for a huge range of sports. With exclusive access to the best database of media rights deals and an in-depth knowledge of best-practice buying and selling strategies utilised in the sector, our team of experts have a comprehensive knowledge of the audiovisual rights market. The market intelligence team combine with the Vantage Network, our affiliated worldwide network of independent consultants. The consultants work actively in the market and have a wide range of experience working with both content buyers and sellers from around the world, enabling SportBusiness Intelligence to offer clients the best consultants for your needs.
Our approach As well as our experienced team, our approach allows us to deliver accurate and reliable assessments of the audiovisual rights sector. We don’t derive media values for sport on computer modelling or mathematical calculations which are out of touch with the dynamics of the market. Our experience and knowledge of the sector tells us that understanding the audiovisual sports rights market requires a different approach. It requires detailed understanding of the developments in the market, knowledge of the players involved and accurate benchmarking of the revenue generated by rights holders. Therefore our results are based on a more qualitative approach. Our network of contacts from around the world allows us to obtain unique insight direct from the market which, when combined with our unique knowledge of audiovisual rights deals, enable us to provide realistic and well-grounded assessments of the market. Previous clients have commended us on our ability to produce results in this way, giving SportBusiness Intelligence and its clients a marketleading edge over competitors.

The House of Football When Passion Becomes Business Fast. Creative. Experienced. Efficient. But first and foremost: On target. That is what Kentaro stands for. As one of the world´s fastest-growing sports rights agencies, Kentaro tackles the challenges of today´s football world head-on – and hands-on – with its unrivalled industry experience and market know-how. Founded in September 2003, Kentaro has developed into a global organisation, with headquarters in Switzerland and further branch offices in London, Hamburg, Stockholm, Chicago and Rio de Janeiro. “Flat hierarchies, rapid decision-making and the willingness to go the extra mile have given our highlymotivated team the edge in a very dynamic environment,” said joint CEO Philipp Grothe, who founded the company together with Philippe Huber. “We are very proud that during the course of the global expansion, top sports media executives from all over the world have joined forces with our dedicated founding team to continue our international growth,” added Huber. Kentaro currently represents over 25 international football federations, including England, Sweden, Argentina and the USA, to name but a few, as well as over 30 football clubs, including top Premiership outfits Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City. Under one roof, Kentaro combines unrivalled expertise in five business areas - the Distribution of International TV
90
Rights, Event Management, Sponsorship Sales, Player Management and Consulting. “We are very proud to be known as the ‘House of Football’ to our clients all over the world,” Grothe said. “We excel in satisfying all football needs as quickly and transparently as possible.” The ‘House of Football’ can be exemplified by the creation of the Brazil World Tour, which is a prime example of how different business areas can be harmonised. Kentaro has been organising all of the Seleçao´s friendly matches since 2006, pitting the likes of Kaka, Ronaldinho and Co. against top opposition in the biggest stadia around the globe. Whether England in Qatar, Italy at the Emirates or the opening of the Giants Stadium in New York, Kentaro was responsible for the match and stadium organisation, the ticket and sponsorship sales as well as the production and distribution of the worldwide TV feed, which went to well over 100 nations. An integral component of the ‘House of Football’ is the global distribution of TV and related media rights
on behalf of football federations, clubs or even entire leagues. “In Sweden, for instance, we market the domestic rights of the league as well as the federation, having more than doubled the rights income due to tailor-made concepts,” said Kentaro Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Hill. “And on the international front, Kentaro marketed over 150 qualifiers and 100 friendly matches prior to the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. We will deliver over 100 qualification and friendly matches ahead of Euro 2012 as well.” Furthermore, Kentaro is also the English FA’s leading international partner, distributing their second-party TV rights in addition to the FA Cup and national team matches in the Middle East, Scandinavia and the majority of Europe. Kentaro’s innovative full-service mentality has touched club football, too, as evidenced by the organisation of the Emirates Cup, one of football’s leading global pre-season tournaments. Kentaro is responsible for the TV rights distribution, event management and sponsorship sales whilst at the same time negotiating the clubs’ participation. Kentaro´s club portfolio also includes a range of pre-season friendlies, tournaments and tours. The “House of Football” is completed by Kentaro´s
highly-respected player management division. Already a major player in Scandinavia via its subsidiary Northern Sky, Kentaro has expanded its activity in this field with the acquisition and integration of the Sports Entertainment and Media Group. SEM is one of Europe´s most trusted player and coach agencies, with world-class athletes including Rio Ferdinand, Jon Obi Mikel and Thierry Henry all having been represented by their team of experts. Kentaro’s success also extends to the boxing world where it markets the international television and sponsorship rights of Europe´s leading boxing stable, Sauerland Event. The Germany-based promoters manage the likes of Russian Giant Nikolai Valuev, Super Six contestant Arthur Abraham, WBC Super-Middleweight Champion Mikkel Kessler, WBO Cruiserweight Champion Marco Huck, IBF Cruiserweight Champion Steve Cunningham and IBF Middleweight Champion Sebastian Sylvester, amongst many other stars. Kentaro also markets the international TV rights of the so-called Champions League of Boxing – the Super Six World Boxing Classic – where six of the world´s best super-middleweights battle out in a round-robin tournament to determine the true champion of the division.

SANTA MÓNICA SPORTS Leading the evolution of sports marketing Sports sponsorship is undoubtedly one of the most cost-effective marketing tools available to brands. It generates value including brand exposure and recognition while linking brands to sports events and personalities in ways that are difficult to replicate in direct media advertising. The 2010 World Cup in South Africa provided the perfect venue to connect with a worldwide audience of around 700 million people. This huge TV audience watched for almost a month the best football teams together with the brands that supported them. Santa Monica Sports is responsible for creating the brand alliances of two of this year’s most successful teams, the Spanish and Argentinean national teams. In addition, Santa Mónica Sports has managed to export the successful sports-marketing blueprint used in football to other sports such as sailing, using integrated media content through various platforms including the Internet. The Spanish national team entered the 2010 World Cup as one of the favourites, but its road to victory was still an amazing achievement for everyone involved. Manager Vincente del Bosque has built a team that right from the start was difficult to beat, indeed his record makes him the most successful Spanish national coach of all time. Off the pitch, a professionally managed and effective national squad sponsorship programme has further strengthened the team and contributed to Spain’s success. Santa Mónica Sports sponsorship programme has generated an excellent return on investment for sponsors. Jesús Samper, President of Santa Mónica Sports, commented on Spain’s participation in the 2010 World Cup “we make sure the sponsor always wins. This year, Spain’s success has generated extended brand recognition whilst our playing style was a real thrill, and winning… well, that was just the stuff of dreams”. Created in Spain over 30 years ago, Santa Mónica Sports has taken full advantage of its ability to understand the potential of sports marketing and sponsorship with its commitment to building value for its clients and partners. The creation of a South American subsidiary in Argentina has allowed this understanding to be translated across continents. Since 2007, Santa Mónica Sports has managed the rights to the Argentinean national team, another of the 2010 World Cups favourites. All this and more at www.gruposantamonica.com
ClubSelección.tv Club Selección.tv is a digital platform developed by Grupo Santa Monica Sports (GSMS) and the Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) to
promote online audiovisual content for the RFEF and the football and futsal teams whose rights are managed by GSMS. The website was launched just before the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa with the aim of providing a dynamic central hub for football fans. Club Selección.tv is a free, interactive website which only requires user-registration giving access to key content such as live internet broadcasting of RFEF matches. www.clubseleccion.tv
More than football Santa Mónica Sports also includes World Sailing Management, which manages the world’s leading regatta circuit, the Audi MedCup Circuit. The MedCup was created in 2005 and is already considered the world’s most competitive sailing circuit with five regattas in five different locations across four southern European countries and attracts some of the best sailors in the world including Olympic champions and America’s Cup crews. New for 2011 will be the Soto 40 class which is a 40 foot high performance one design class that is already attracting a high level of interest with entries from South America, France and Spain confirmed. The TP52 Series class continues to evolve with at least four new boats confirmed for 2011. 2010 World Champions Quantum Racing, the American team which won the 2008 Audi MedCup title, were the first to commit to a new boat, but there are expected to be new boats for the Russian crew Synergy Sailing Team, as well as Argentina’s Matador and a new British team of Skype cofounder Niklas Zennstrom, who will steer his own new build boat. All the action is captured by the Audi MedCup TV, a digital channel that broadcasts the Audi MedCup Circuit races live on the official website www.medcup.org, a six-language multimedia platform.

We are continually evolving new construction and design techniques to ensure we truly provide the best solution. We understand the importance of getting the correct equipment and people to the right place at the right time. To facilitate this, we have recruited teams of highly skilled and motivated individuals who work together to consider every eventuality when planning your event. From the design of each component to site permits and accreditation, everything is taken into account. Due to the fast track nature of many sporting projects, it’s crucial to ensure our suppliers have a proven track record of timely delivery as well as being able to demonstrate commercial value and product/service
quality. We employ an integrated approach on every level to ensure timely delivery, efficient design and manufacture along with transparency of cost. ES Group is proud to have worked at the following events: 2000 Sydney Olympics, 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, David Beckham Football Academy, Wimbledon, 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games, 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games, London 2012 Handover Celebrations, 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games and many more. Our knowledge and experience gives us an understanding of the often unique and varied requirements of every conceivable type of event, and the importance of dealing with clients on a personal basis. At every stage of your project, our unique blend of invention and pragmatism ensures you get what you want, when and where you want it, safely. Reputations can take years to build yet can come apart in a moment. Our aim is to be the best and for that there is only one measure – satisfied customers who return time and time again because they want us as part of their team. From concept through to installation and removal, your event could not be in better hands.

For the past 150 years major events have been the lifeblood of Melbourne, the capital city of the State of Victoria, Australia. No other city in the world has staged an Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games and World Swimming Championships. Melbourne’s rich sporting and cultural major events calendar has cemented its place as the number one Australian short break destination, and leading city for sporting and cultural tourism. For the past twenty years, the world’s leading events acquisitions group, the Victorian Major Events Company (VMEC), has been at the helm, responsible for bringing the world’s biggest sporting events to Melbourne. VMEC was established in 1991 and is proof positive of the importance that the State Government and city officials place on major events. Bringing a wealth of experience to the task, VMEC partners with event owners and brings together the best people, venues and partners, creating a proven foundation for event planning and execution – and a tailor made solution for every event owner to ensure success. VMEC Chief Executive Brendan McClements says it’s one thing to win the right to host an event, but another altogether to stage it. “Partnerships are a critical part of our business. You could argue that anyone can run a bid and win an event, but it is the event you create together that is the real measure of success. “Melbourne has a proud history of providing event owners with a co-ordinated commitment from stakeholders. It is this network that gives Melbourne its stellar track record and VMEC its unique strength and ability to achieve. “To say Melburnians are passionate about sport and events is an understatement. Attendances continue to grow year on year, providing significant returns to event owners. VMEC also ensures these events attract people from around the world through strategic alliances and innovative marketing campaigns,” said Mr McClements. Every year Melbourne offers a varied calendar of world class major events – and two of the jewels in the crown are the recent UCI Road World Championships and The Presidents Cup next year. “A long held strategy for VMEC has been to expand our major event horizons on a regular basis with additional premium events to support and build on the annual calendar. The Australian Open Tennis, Formula 1 Grand Prix, Melbourne Cup Horseracing
and Boxing Day Cricket Test Match – these outstanding annual sporting events ensure that Melbourne offers international rights holders a terrific experience, with excellent infrastructure, facilities, skills, companies and partners ready to serve some of the world’s biggest major sporting contests,” Mr McClements said.
Cycling to success Recently VMEC was proud to partner with the UCI and Cycling Australia to host the 2010 UCI Road World Championships. The Championships stand at the pinnacle of the road cycling world calendar as one of the great events in world sport, ranking alongside the Tour De France as the most coveted prize in cycling. Elite cyclists dream of wearing the rainbow jersey, and host cities dream of the year they will present this dynamic blue riband event. 2010 marks the first time the Championships have been held in the Southern Hemisphere, and only the sixth time the event has been hosted outside Europe. Over five days in October, more than 500 elite cyclists from 53 countries competed in front of massive crowds of nearly 300,000. Pat McQuaid, UCI President said the 2010 UCI Road World Championships were an outstanding success, “Everything was magnificent...the riders have enjoyed it and the people have voted with their feet”. Australia’s enthusiastic cycling fans now turn their attention to 2012 when Melbourne will again welcome cycling’s elite with the return of the UCI Track World Championships.
Melbourne to welcome golf’s elite In November 2011, Melbourne will give full rein to its passion for golf, when one of the golfing world’s preeminent events, The Presidents Cup, takes place at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club. Under the captainship of golfing greats Fred Couples and Greg Norman respectively, golf’s elite will go head to head as the United States team battles for supremacy against the International team. In a major coup, Melbourne is the first city outside of the United States to host the event more than once, having partnered with the US PGATOUR to deliver the tournament in 1998. This is testament to VMEC’s success in delivering an outstanding experience for event owners and Melbourne’s reputation as a world class sporting destination.

Manchester is the world’s leading sport city, renowned for staging record-breaking, heart-stopping international sporting events. From our world class sports stadia to the city’s streets, Manchester has created a unique and innovative events programme. Manchester has it all.

events
Manchester – A World Class Sporting Destination Home to two of the most famous clubs in world football and with a proven track record of hosting major events, Manchester is a city synonymous with sport. Manchester is well known throughout the world for its two football clubs but the city has a strong reputation as a host of major events in a wide range of sports. In 2002 Manchester delivered a hugely successful Commonwealth Games, the largest multisport event ever held in England, hosting over 4,000 competitors from 72 nations. As a result of the games, Manchester can boast the capacity, infrastructure and management experience required of a world-class sports destination. The city received recognition for its events programme in the most recent Sportbusiness Ultimate Sports City listing in April 2010, when Manchester was ranked 7th globally, and 1st in the ‘small city’ category, focusing on cities with a population of less than 1 million. Manchester also won in the Best Legacy category, for the achievements built upon the successful hosting of the Commonwealth Games and the ‘Manchester World Sport 08’ campaign which saw 6 major world events come to the city. Sir Howard Bernstein, chief executive for Manchester
140
City Council said at the time of the announcement: “Our approach to sport has always been that it can be a catalyst for regeneration and a key way to create new opportunities. This has been seen most clearly through the legacy of the Commonwealth Games. I am particularly proud of the fact that of all the cities in the world, it has been recognised that Manchester leads the way on this. This is great news for the city and something we can build on for the future.” Manchester’s events strategy, established in 2007, outlines the commitment to maximising the benefits for its residents, businesses and visitors through the staging of world class sports events. In the past year the city has hosted major events such as the British Gas Duel in the Pool, Co-operative World Netball Series, FIL World Lacrosse Championships and the David Haye vs John Ruiz World Heavyweight Fight, whilst the annual Bupa Great Manchester Run & Great CityGames go from strength to strength, with Tyson Gay and Jessica Ennis the star attractions in 2010, following Usain Bolt’s record-breaking appearance in 2009.
World Class Facilities Manchester is home to an impressive array of sports facilities. Less than 2 miles from the city centre, Eastlands boasts the largest concentration of sporting venues in Europe, such as the 48,000 seat City of Manchester. Plans are ongoing to maximise the site’s potential, with work on Manchester’s metrolink extension into the area already underway. Across the city, Manchester United’s Old Trafford Stadium is one the World’s iconic football grounds, with a capacity of 76,000. In the city centre, the MEN Arena is Europe’s busiest indoor arena, with seating configurations seating 3,000 – 21,000 spectators. The Arena has recently hosted the 9th FINA World Swimming Championships, World Netball Series and World Heavyweight Boxing. Manchester Aquatics Centre played host to Swimming Australia’s preparations for the FINA World Championships in 2009, the first pre-2012 training camp to take place in the UK and a partnership that will see the Australians return to the city in 2012 and 2014. Building on the city’s status as the home of British Cycling, work has commenced on a brand new 2,000 seat National Indoor BMX Centre at Sportcity scheduled to open in 2011. Along with the existing velodrome,
the new £24m complex will form the National Cycling Centre, incorporating new cycle-ways and footpaths in the surrounding area.
Looking Ahead At an exciting time for sport in Britain, Manchester is well placed to play a leading role. London 2012 has been the catalyst for a golden decade of sporting opportunities for the whole country to be inspired by sport. Manchester will host Olympic football in 2012 and will also welcome Olympic teams such as Swimming Australia to train in the city, as well as athletes from Thailand and Brazil. Further down the line Manchester will stage World Cup rugby; and if England’s FIFA World Cup bid is successful, both of the city’s major football stadia are earmarked for matches.

Images (clockwise): Main Arena ,Fitness Centre, Team Meeting PODS The UK’s sporting infrastructure has seen a considerable amount of investment over recent years with a number of new venues coming on stream. This has given organisations a greater choice of venues from which to select their preferred location to hold their training camp, event or conference. Despite this increase in choice, many organisations are still having to make compromises when choosing their event venue as many cannot satisfy the many and varied needs of the modern sporting organisation. It was set against this backdrop that the planning for Sport Central took place. Located in Newcastle upon Tyne, one of the UK’s most dynamic and vibrant cities, Sport Central is a brand new £30million sports and event facility. It is part of a wider strategic investment programme of over £100 million by Northumbria University in its campus facilities. The university following this investment has been completely transformed and now offers students and staff some of the very best teaching and other facilities of any UK university. As the largest university in the North-East, Northumbria is not only an excellent teaching university but is also recognised as a centre of research excellence, including sport and exercise science. It is one of the UK’s leading sports universities, with extensive links to professional sports organisations
152
including the Newcastle Eagles basketball team. The centre piece of Sport Central is a 3000 seat indoor arena with 360 degree seating that offers an unrivalled spectator experience. The Sport Central arena is absolutely perfect for international sporting events with all of the infrastructure required to deliver a competitive fixture to the highest international standards. With the latest in technical developments, the main arena may also be used for events of a non sporting nature. It is a flexible space that can be used in full arena mode or can be reduced in size by utilising the mobile seating units to perfectly fit the individual requirements of any event. The arena has a high specification PA system, the latest DAKTRONICS digital video screens, is fully enabled for live television coverage and has a dedicated media balcony, studio and interview areas. Surrounding the main arena, Sport Central also offers a variety of smaller rooms and ‘PODS’ which can be used as support spaces for a main event in the arena or by themselves if only a smaller space is required. Sport Central also offers a high specification executive suite called ‘Cram’ which overlooks the main arena from the second floor and has everything expected of an executive meeting room. Once all is said and done, Sport Central offers
Steve Mayes a huge range of sport and leisure services that can be made available to delegates. Facilities include a 25 metre swimming pool with variable depth floor, a 12 metre climbing wall, glass backed squash courts, 40 metre sprint track, golf driving nets and simulators and a 150 station fitness centre with only the latest in exercise innovation. As event organisers will know, it is of course not only the superb amenities, technical innovations and incredible sporting and leisure facilities that Sport Central provides in one place that will position it as a venue of choice. It is also the additional services that are provided by the dedicated Sport Central events team. The team of professionals at Sport Central are there to ensure that every aspect of a competition, training camp or exhibition irrespective of size is delivered to the most exacting standards. They can provide full catering, sport science, accommodation, media handling, security and any other services that are required. Already host to a number of international events including the UK School Games Volleyball competition and the GB Basketball qualifier against the FYR of Macedonia, Sport Central has opened to rave reviews. James Tombs, Head of Commercial and Business Operations at British Basketball commented; “A truly
outstanding venue, Sport Central was the location of a tremendously successful event on all fronts and I would commend the events team for their most valuable contributions and for the all-round professionalism shown in the delivery of our event.” Sport Central in offering extensive, world class sports facilities together with a range of different environments for competitive fixtures, camps and events is truly unique. It will rightly become one of the UK’s prestigious events venues and a destination of choice.

Aggregating these rights across 72 clubs in the English and Scottish leagues – including 19 in the Premier League – Sports Revolution connects advertisers with a committed audience of three million football fans per month. Antony Marcou, Sports Revolution Managing Director, says: “For the growing number of advertisers wanting to reach 20-45 year-old men, we are ahead of many ‘traditional’ male-oriented media, including sports radio, male lifestyle magazines and most live Sky games. We can reach a far bigger audience, in a captive environment.”
League and Championship clubs, including Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. Robin Currie, Stadia Solutions General Manager, explains: “Understanding our client’s environments, commercial drivers and audience demands allows us to build bespoke solutions. Driving rights holder revenues has never been so important and by creating compelling digital stadium solutions we support the delivery of enhanced revenue streams.” A key benefit of Stadia Solutions model is that it offers a single software operating platform which can be used across multiple formats.

On-pitch demonstrations for Nintendo Wii, live demonstrations of Sony Playstation’s Matchday +, and other campaigns for clients including Ford, Barclays and Hyundai, see our field marketing team in action across the UK. As Sports Revolution Commercial Director Vange Kourentis comments: “The switch from static to digital advertising boards has changed the commercial game for football clubs and advertisers. It has opened the door to a global commercial audience, and our expertise is helping to realise the potential this offers.”
Asia office Much of the advertising money flowing into the Premier League and La Liga is coming from Asia, with the region accounting for 40 per cent of the Premier League’s global TV audience. To better serve this growing market, Sports Revolution recently opened an office in Bangkok. The eight-strong team signals our commitment to advertisers in the region, and new clients benefitting from our improved Asian offering now include Thai Airways and Tiger Beer.

Sport and the Role of Government
Government support for sport and healthy living has grown even during the recession. Some even believe that public sector support is the new sponsorship. However, government objectives are often very different from commercial sponsors and pressure on public finances means they can be increasingly demanding about achieving them. The only winning approach is effective partnership. Sport and the Role of Government finds that governments look set to sustain or even increase their involvement in sport. This unique report provides you with a framework for the lifetime of the relationship between public and private sectors and contains guidance and examples of partnerships that have succeeded. We identify the characteristics of organisations which are well matched and provide you with a practical template to establish effective working relationships.

We sat down with Couchmans LLP Chairman Nic Couchman and got chapter and verse on why those seeking legal advice in the sports business should look no further than his firm.

”You only need to go back 20 years or so to find a time when sport wasn’t taken seriously as a business. Even in the last 10 years – since we set up Couchmans in 2000 – the sports business has changed almost beyond recognition. Nowadays, the pages of this directory tell their own story about the business of sport. The sheer number and breadth of businesses, suppliers, experts and organisations operating in the sports industry is extraordinary. There have been many factors at play driving growth in the sports sector – sports marketing, technology, politics, globalisation. What is indisputable is that the rise of the international sports economy has been little short of a phenomenon. Sport is now front, middle and back page news, and the UK is about to enter into something of a golden decade of sport, hosting the Olympics, the Rugby World Cup, the Commonwealth Games and (as we go to press) hopefully the FIFA World Cup. At Couchmans we have been privileged to have witnessed at first hand many of the pivotal moments along sports’ inexorable growth path. And we like to feel that we have made our own positive contribution tothe building and protection of our clients’ businesses and commercial rights, be they international governing bodies and major events, or sponsors and aspiring athletes. The longevity of some of our client relationships and the testimonials of some of our clients (“they bring value to every deal”) support us in our belief that we are unusual among law firms operating in the sector. The sports business is relentlessly dynamic. Because we are immersed in the industry, we are frequently involved at the cutting edge of major new developments. In 2010 alone we advised on high profile matters as diverse as the sale of Liverpool FC, the biggest endorsement deal in the history of athletics (Puma and Usain Bolt), the launch of the radical new British Champions Series in horseracing, FA Premier league broadcasting contracts in multiple jurisdictions, as well as many sponsorships including the title deals for the nPower Football League and the Aviva Premiership in rugby. The building blocks of the sports business are, essentially, deals and content. Or to use the lawyers’ jargon, transactions and intellectual property. That is what all the lawyers at Couchmans have specialised in, in some cases for decades. But it is not the ability to craft a clever contract or protect IP that is our
particular value. We believe the unique asset we bring to the table is our insight – our knowledge of the particular mechanics and nuances of sport, of where commercial value can be gained (and lost), and what new challenges and opportunities might be around the corner. Growth can sometimes come at a price. The impact of digital technology, partnering with ambitious international brands, the requirements of private investors and the relentless public profile and scrutiny of sport have made our clients’ businesses many times more complex and challenging than they used to be. So getting the strategy and the deals absolutely right is ever more critical. Sport now has its own, unique ecosystem - you have to understand the landscape and speak the language to navigate your way through it successfully. We have chosen to focus exclusively on the sports market not just because the sector demands a specialist approach, but because the more work we do, the stronger, more useful and cost effective our proposition becomes for all of our clients. Our firm has more recognised experts in sports law than any other in the UK; across all disciplines from media to sponsorship, event management to sports governance, intellectual property to image rights. Sport is international, and so are we. Although based in London, which is and will continue to be a key hub for the international sports business, approximately half of our business is non-UK based and we have built a network of selected sports law specialists in all key markets. We are able to conduct the legal management of international events, negotiate media rights or sponsorship deals and sports investments, wherever they may be. Sport is, still, at heart a people business. Which is why we have been able to compete effectively against much larger competition. We are immensely proud of the people we have on our team.”

We can also structure more lucrative contracts for players and sponsors while reducing performance-related liabilities. zz Cost-effectively cover performance-related bonus payments zz Attract better quality players and sports properties with more lucrative contracts
Revenue Protection for Professional Clubs, Sponsors, Retailers, Manufacturers, Travel Companies & Rights-holders Poor results can negatively impact the revenues of all these businesses. Sportsrisq provides financial contracts that offset the risk of commercially poor results and maximise expected revenues. zz Protect against lost profit due to unexpected results zz Lock-in future prize money and other revenues
Sports Promotions for Retailers & Consumer Facing Businesses
202
Promotions linked to sports results are a compelling alternative to traditional campaigns. They create positive associations with successful teams and offer a unique value proposition to customers. Sportsrisq can help you create and hedge risk-free promotions linked to sports results. zz Drive sales with offers and guarantees linked to sports results zz Risk-free promotions where costs are linked directly to sales
CONTACT US FOR A CONSULTATION WITH NO OBLIGATION & SEE HOW WE CAN HELP YOUR BUSINESS Sponsors & Brands Corporate sponsors of professional teams and athletes rely on results for exposure and positive associations for their brand. Sponsors of sporting events see variable returns depending on the progress of key teams and athletes. Sportsrisq provides a range of solutions to help corporate sponsors and brands maximise returns from sports sponsorship. Optimise Endorsement Contracts Sportsrisq enables you to structure and manage the performance-related elements of player and team sponsorship deals more effectively. Performance-based bonus contracts can attract better quality teams and athletes. Sportsrisq enables you to offset the larger liabilities and maximise sponsorship value. Maximise Brand Association Leverage your sponsorship investment by running promotions linked to results. Give away merchandise when the team wins or refund fans when they lose. Using a Sportsrisq contract ensures promotional costs are fixed for a fraction of the headline amount. Protect Your Investment Reduce reliance on results by buying a contract that pays out on a sliding scale linked to the performance of an endorsed team. Your brand is protected from unexpected under-performance and revenue is maximised.
Professional Clubs Professional Clubs have prize money, bonus payments, merchandising and other revenues & liabilities linked to on-field results. Sportsrisq provides contracts that reduce profit volatility and drive sales. Improve Player Contracts Sportsrisq can help optimise the performance-related pay elements of player and staff contracts, allowing your club to budget clearly without additional liabilities. Using Sportsrisq forward-contracts in conjunction with performance-related pay can attract better quality players without additional exposure to you. Increase Ticket Sales Gate receipts are the largest component of the sports market. PricewaterhouseCoopers estimates that global gate receipts will expand from $43.2bn in 2009 to $49bn in 2013. Sportsrisq powers innovative promotional campaigns that can significantly increase season ticket sales and match-day revenues. Sportsrisq promotions based on your team’s results create a positive connection with fans and drive early sales and corporate hospitality. Protect Revenues Sportsrisq contracts can be used to protect against financial uncertainty linked to a team’s on-field performances, enabling you to normalise profits and cover losses due to unexpected and adverse results.
Sports Travel & Tourism To maximise profits, businesses that provide travel & tourism services depend on key local and national teams to qualify and progress in major tournaments. When these teams fail to meet expectations business suffers. Sportsrisq provides a range of solutions to sports travel and tourism operators to help maximise expected returns and grow sales. Protect Revenues Sportsrisq can analyse, price and place your sports risk related to major sporting events, including key team qualification and progress in major tournaments. Grow Sales Run sports-linked promotions that offer customers refunds when their team loses or rewards them if they win. Sportsrisq promotions increase the value of a travel package, guarantee a successful trip and encourage earlier sales and customer loyalty. Sportsrisq covers all risk associated with the promotion.
With no minimum volume or redemption issues, Sportsrisq promotions can be used by any travel operator to differentiate their business, grow profits and increase customer satisfaction. Travel Insurance Add-ons Sell Sportsrisq contracts to your clients alongside travel insurance. Allow fans to buy insurance against a poor result for their team. Unlike travel insurance, Sportsrisq does not require an underwriting process or claims process.
Retailers Supply Chain Management for Sporting Goods Retailers Sporting goods retailers rely on successful sports teams and athletes to sell their stock. Buying decisions have to be made in advance but profitability on sales of replica and other items relies on uncertain future sports results. A Sportsrisq contract can help better manage the supply chain and buying process so that expected returns are maximised regardless of on-field results. Offer Compelling Sports Promotions Any retailer or consumer-facing business can use Sportsrisq promotions to associate their brand with successful sports teams without directly sponsoring them. Sportsrisq promotions are a compelling alternative to traditional discounts and rebates that differentiate your business and drive new sales.
Broadcasters & Event Rights-holders Sportsrisq provides contracts which enable you to maximise the expected revenues related to the performance of key teams and events. Maximise Expected Revenues Sportsrisq contracts can be used to protect the value of rights associated with sports events and ensure that the maximum expected ROI is achieved regardless of on-field results. Increase Bids for Event Rights Sportsrisq works with you to evaluate the true value of sports rights where profitability depends on the qualification and progress of key teams. Combining your rights bid with a Sportsrisq contract allows you to offer an enhanced headline price without exposing you to the potential lost revenue if key teams do not perform as expected.

Rick Tomlinson/Volvo Ocean Race
The age-old adage that nothing great is easy, is the foundation for the Volvo Ocean Race, an exceptional test of sailing prowess, which has been built on the spirit of great seafarers; fearless men who sailed the world’s oceans aboard square-rigged clipper ships more than a century ago. The spirit that drove those commercial sailors along the web of trade routes, deep into the bleak latitudes of the Southern Ocean and around the world’s most dangerous capes, emerges today in the form of the Volvo Ocean Race, a contest now seen as the pinnacle of achievement in the sport. The Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12 will be the 11th edition of this iconic sailing regatta. The Volvo Ocean Race is quite simply the ‘Everest’ of sailing.

such as icebergs, ocean debris and whales. The teams comprise a professional crew of 11, and the race requires their utmost skills, physical endurance and competitive spirit as they race day and night for more than 30 days at a time on some of the stages. Over the duration of the race, the crews will experience life at the extreme: no fresh food is taken onboard so they will live off freeze-dried food; they will experience temperature variations from -5 to +40 degrees Celsius and will only take one change of clothes with them onboard. They will trust their lives to the boat skipper and experience hunger and sleep deprivation. The state-of-the-art Volvo Open 70, is the yacht these professional sailor race around the globe and it is currently the holder of the world record for the most nautical miles sailed by a monohull (596) in 24 hours.

The race is the ultimate mix of world class sporting competition on the edge adventure and technology. It is a unique blend of onshore glamour with offshore drama and endurance and is, undeniably, the world’s premier global race and one of the most demanding team sporting events in the world.

The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is unique. Crews from all walks of life, cultures and backgrounds put themselves forward for one of the toughest challenges known to man. Ten identical boats, owned and operated by Clipper Ventures are backed by global destinations. Together, they sail an 11 month long 40,000 mile race track, visiting key cities in major markets on six continents. And in doing so, the eyes of the world are upon them. The 09-10 Clipper race delivered a cumulative audience in excess of 450 million (and that’s before the global TV series has even aired). But while the returns are reassuringly high, the investment is not.
www.clipperroundtheworld.com
It’s why cities like Singapore and Qingdao are coming back again and again. They use the Clipper Race as an effective marketing tool because they know it’s a powerful way to showcase their trade, tourism and cultural messages to a worldwide audience. And when the fleet calls, it is a real crowd pleaser with the potential to drive significant visitor spend and economic impact. So don’t miss the boat – the eighth edition of the Clipper race starts in August 2011.

Eurosport: Europe’s Leading Sports Entertainment Group Founded in 1989 as a sports TV channel, Eurosport has evolved with the changing sports broadcast media environment to become Europe’s leading multimedia platform. The group’s presence is now worldwide, stretching from Europe to the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. The group boasts six TV channels, an international network of 12 websites and a pioneering mobile platform. The group also includes Eurosport Events, an events production, management and promotion arm anda TV rights distribution agency . Eurosport is a licensing agent for some of the most prestigious sporting organizations, including the WTA, UEFA and IAAF. More recently, the group moved into online gaming in France and the UK with EurosportBET. Eurosport’s expertise in live sport, its leadership in global sports media, its pioneering approach to new technologies and its work with federations and associations, have put the group firmly at the vanguard in Europe and beyond.
Live Sport & Expertise The lifeblood of the Eurosport Group is live sport and it brings fans live coverage of the greatest events such as the Tour de France, tennis Grand Slams and the FIS World Cups and World Championships across the group’s different media platforms. Live broadcast on the Eurosport and Eurosport 2 channels totals over 4,000 hours, while live results, real-time news and updates will be a central part of the group’s online and mobile platforms. Why such a commitment to live? Live sport means emotion and suspense and provides fans
224
with highest emotional interaction and the greatest possible entertainment experience. To compliment its live coverage Eurosport works with top international expert consultants and commentators, including Arsene Wenger, Mats Wilander and Patrick Kluivert.
Technological Innovation: On-air, Online and On mobile New technologies have a major part to play in the group’s business strategy. When it comes to enhancing the broadcast experience, Eurosport continues to invest in HD and 3D, which are today bringing spectacular images from live events. Last year, Eurosport broadcast the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games in 100% HD, while being the first broadcaster to bring the tennis French Open at Roland Garros in 3D to Europe. Eurosport will continue to be at the forefront of new technology to enhance the television viewing experience. TV is core to the live philosophy but new media has its part to play too. Eurosport has invested to develop new sports apps for iPad, iPhone, Android and BlackBerry, as well as a Player service, which all give fans more control and more exciting live content. Online, Eurosport is the leading digital sports destination thanks to eurosport.com’s comprehensive network of online portals featuring up to date news, videos, articles and fans chat forums, as well as on mobile with apps, VoD and live streaming. This “three-screen” strategy works to extend the global reach of Eurosport and gives its viewers greater control of where and when they access the content. This
approach also allows fans to customise and fosters greater interactivity and engagement.
Diversity in action Eurosport has a strong and diverse programme lineup of over 120 sporting disciplines, which reflects its deeply-rooted international culture and dedication to sports federations and organisers to cover the widest variety of sporting events. Eurosport is home to major events such as tennis Grand Slams (Australian, French and US Opens), cycling (Tour de France, the Giro and the Vuelta), wintersports (alpine skiing, ski-jumping, etc), motorsports (WTCC, IRC, Le Mans), but also broadcasts a diverse range of sports tailored to the needs of individual markets across Europe. Bundesliga football, summer Olympic sports, snooker, surfing, snowboarding - Eurosport has a complete content offering.
Power of the platform In just over 20 years Eurosport has firmly established itself at the forefront of European broadcasting. Today, it boasts the No.1 pan-European TV channel, which is broadcast in 20 languages reaching 121 million homes and 240 million viewers across 59 countries. Beyond Europe, in the Asia-Pacific region, Eurosport reaches 14 countries. Eurosport’s network of 12 websites in 11 different languages spreads from Europe -- where it is the N°1 online sports destination and is visited by an average of 10 million unique users per month -- to the MENA region and China. Eurosport’s mobile apps are enjoying worldwide
success with 2.8 million downloads for the iPhone app and are also available on iPad, Blackberry and Android.

Established in 1983 and dedicated to providing travelers with a first class retail experience in a shopper-friendly environment, Dubai Duty Free’s diverse range of products appeal to the truly cosmopolitan mix of travelers who pass through Dubai International Airport. The operation continues to witness positive sales growth in 2010 with sales for the first nine month reaching an impressive US$902 million, representing a 14.5 % increase over the same period last year and puts Dubai Duty Free on track for year-end sales of an estimated US$1.25 billion. As Dubai Duty Free heads into a busy last quarter of 2010, the operation is looking at achieving double digit sales growth for the year. To date Dubai Duty Free has received more than 160 awards which bear testimony to the operation’s retail success. In July, Dubai Duty Free was awarded the “Brand of the Year” by the Superbrands Council - dubbed globally as the ‘Oscars of Branding’. In the same month, Dubai Duty Free retained its No.1 position as the single largest airport retailer operation in the world based on 2009 sales of US$1.14 billion. In addition to its retail success, Dubai Duty Free also runs innovative and successful promotions: the longest-running Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise Luxury Car draw, the Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire to win US$1 million, and the Dubai Duty Free Double

Previous champions read like a who’s who of the game and include Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic from the ATP and Venus Williams, Martina Hingis and Justin Henin from the WTA.

Driving higher ROI with sponsorship and licensing Our sponsorship and licensing division has worked with a number of international and Asian blue chip clients including Honda, Siemens, Canon, LG, Quiksilver, Coca Cola, Red Bull Thailand, Malaysia Airlines, Telekom Malaysia, Carlsberg, MasterCard and many more. TSA bridges the gap between the international rights holders and the Asian corporate client and has found a unique and open approach to satisfy the needs of both sides. Global rrights holders, teams, Leagues engage us to source for funding in Asia for their respective properties. On the other hand corporate clients seek our advice on how to leverage the power of sports marketing for their brands. Sponsorship is becoming an important part of most brands marketing mix, therefore the proper selection, integration and implementation of the sponsorship platforms is required. TSA helps connect Asian companies to global sports entities and builds campaigns worldwide or within restricted territories. At TSA we create unique sponsorship and licensing strategies that maximize our client’s ROI and ROO. TSA also represents major international rights holders for sponsorship/licensing opportunities including the English FA, the English Premier League and various Formula 1 teams.
Case study An example of TSA’s innovative approach would be in India where we are pioneering the field of branded housing development. In this case we helped develop the concept and brokered a deal with Indian property developer, Nirmal Lifestyle and the USTA (US Open). Nirmal entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with the USTA to integrate the sporting attributes of the US Open and New York lifestyle into a residential housing and Apartment complex. Nirmal has the rights to use US Open images and logos in their advertising campaigns as well as integrate elements of the US Open into the housing development. The first project has been launched and shown tremendous success across the board.
TSA’s event management strengths TSA’s expertise also extends to the arena of event
management with a dedicated team of skilled professionals across regional offices. We work with rights holders, sponsors, government agencies, clubs, venues and athletes to create and manage events that are memorable for spectators and deliver results for clients. Past projects include actions sports to ball sports, endurance events, motorsports and family entertainment events. Total Sports Asia offers a complete & flexible event management service, which can be implemented on both the ‘local’ and ‘panAsian’ scale. At Total Sports Asia we understand, whether through traditional events or bespoke properties, how to translate event related projects into commercial success.

BUILDING UNIQUE EXPERIENCES// DEVELOPING BUSINESSES// CREATING EVENTS// In line with current communication trends, we create, design and produce projects related to the entertainment market. They are mainly based on theme concepts designed for a discerning and constantly evolving globalized audience. WE HAVE A broad experience in planning and developing each stage of the process: business plan, design, content creation, building, start-up and running of museums and entertainment attractions, as well as the production of events and exhibitions. Just a few years after its foundation in 1998, Museos Deportivos became the entertainment market leader in South America in the field of sports, culture and tourism. Our team of creative designers and technicians imagine and produce one-of-a-kind experiences for each project. We believe this is the key to achieve a strong effect on visitors’ emotions and future recollections.
272
Our company is renowned as well for its ability to bring projects to an attainable and sustainable reality. Our management team has participated in developments for the entertainment and real estate business, with investments over 50 million dollars. We are proud developers of Boca Juniors, River Plate and CSF (Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol) Museums. Our clients list includes Bovis Lend Lease, DirecTV, Ernst & Young, Fox Sports, Golf Channel, Nike, Nissan, Pepsi, Samsung, Sky, Telefónica, Torneos y Competencias, Toyota, Young & Rubicam, among others. We have joined them to create and develop profitable businesses and unforgettable attractions.
Business Management Made-to-measure services. Entertainment construction projects. Organization of mega-events. We offer customized solutions, which include a wide
range of services at different scales, either to develop entertainment construction projects or to organize mega-events. We join our client to set its strategic objectives and throughout the project process as well; i.e, from a feasibility study and searching for investors up to the job instruction training and opening date. Our services are aimed at identifying opportunities, developing high-profit business models, setting financing and marketing systems, designing, building and managing the project day-to-day operations.
Content Design We create contents that surprise, thrill and inspire unforgettable experiences. Our professionals create a countless number of images and sensations for each project, using all sorts of expressive resources that give rise to unforgettable memories. Following the most advanced international design and creativity trends, we use scenic and audio visual resources to generate a story charged with emotions. In this way, attending an event or visiting a museum means an unforgettable experience whereby each visitor plays a key and active role within such story. Through the years, we have established a network of associated professionals and providers, who interpret and carryout our designers’ conceptions,
on the basis of precise budgets and controlled costs.
Design / Architecture Architecture and design form a sole unit in our proposals. Such unit is based on a leading idea that joins both the environment’s physical and programmatic components. At the same time, it focuses on the main theme concept and the most attractive content for each project involved. We have a solid background that covers different types of spaces, buildings, premises and urban complexes.
Tourism We have developed different tourist-oriented products. Far from the ordinary concepts, they emphasize “the experience” and its related emotions. Through La Boca Tour and Seefootball, our tour packages, we took more than 500,000 visitors to La Boca neighbourhood and the main football venues in the City of Buenos Aires, where Boca Juniors, River Plate and the National Team play their home games.
Merchandising We manage the Club Atlético Boca Juniors’ official merchandising store (Boca Shop) at the Stadium and are working on a project to open some other points of sale in airports and the city harbour, through an agreement with the company that licenses Boca Products.

Seeking a Market in Asia? The International Table Tennis Federation, in partnership with our marketing agency, TMS international, is without doubt one of the best sport mediums for companies to reach their consumers, especially in the Chinese and Asian markets. If companies are looking for greater brand exposure to reach possible customers in these territories, then there is almost no better advertising or sponsorship tool than table tennis. Table Tennis, an Olympic Sport, has long been recognized as being one of the sports with the highest participation rates in the world and in China it is known
290
as the national sport. A strong worldwide television distribution of events, linked with the position it enjoys in China is second to none. According to studies completed in 2009; table tennis in China, in 2008, was the second most viewed sport on China Central Television’s premier sports channel CCTV 5 in 2008; 16% of consumption being for table tennis, greater than all other popular sports except basketball. (Figure 1). The International Table Tennis federation’s World Championships is the flagship event. It is held annually and alternates between team and individual events.

The World Championships attract by far the greatest number of television viewers worldwide. In China the finals of the 2010 World Championships in Moscow alone attracted a viewership of over 100 million!. Additionally, there are table tennis events held throughout the year. The ITTF’s World Title events include: the Men’s World Cup and Women’s World Cup; singles tournaments with invitations being sent to the top16 players from around the world. Furthermore, there is the World Team Cup, a team invitation event for the top eight countries in the world. Meanwhile, the Pro Tour is of premier importance on the ITTF calendar, with open international tournaments being held throughout the world, It culminates in the leading players qualifying for the Grand Finals at the end of the year. Finally, the end of each year closes with the Tournament of Champions, an invitation event, where the champions from our four key events: the Olympic Games, the World Championships, the World Cup and the Pro Tour Finals compete against the four leading world ranked players at the time. Never, throughout the year does the action stop. Two further promotional events organized by the ITTF are China versus the World Team Challenge match and the Volkswagen Cup. The China versus the World Team Challenge match sees the leading male and female players from China face the leading players from the rest of the world; it is a challenge for the Rest of the World Team to beat the country that leads the world in the sport of table tennis. Equally, the Volkswagen Cup presents a challenge for the world’s stars with the eight highest ranked men and women being invited, the one stipulation is that

Excellent exposure opportunities are presented, especially for those trying to make a strong mark in Asia and China, is thus available.

Auckland, New Zealand: Punching above its weight It’s no secret that events can dramatically alter the feel of a city – but in a smaller city the impact that events have on residents, spectators, competitors and organisers is unparalleled. Auckland, New Zealand, is a city of just 1.4 million people, yet it has a proven track record of hosting highprofile international events (see box). Auckland also hosts a number of annual international sporting events, including rugby, cricket, rugby league, netball and tennis, as well as some of New Zealand’s largest cultural and entertainment festivals. Paul Dunphy, Event Attraction Manager for Auckland Council, says that it has been a conscious decision to secure such a broad range of events in the region. “Our investment in internationally-renowned events results in activation right across the region, long-term benefits for our residents, and acts as a catalyst to
326
ensure Auckland is better positioned to host more events of this scale and calibre,” says Dunphy. This investment is especially apparent as Auckland, along with the rest of New Zealand, gears up to host some of the biggest sporting events in the world, including Rugby World Cup 2011 and the Volvo Ocean Race Stopover 2012. “Infrastructure investment has also been key”, adds Dunphy. “We now have an amazing range of unique, world-class venues, including facilities which maximise Auckland’s superior natural setting.” These include sports stadiums, conference and exhibition facilities, motorsport venues and public open spaces. Susan Sawbridge, from Auckland’s regional visitor agency, agrees that Auckland’s landscape is a definite bonus for sports federations.
Auckland’s recent successes and upcoming events include: • Netball World Championship 2007 • FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2008 • Louis Vuitton Pacific Series 2009 • 2009 FIBA U19 World Championship • Louis Vuitton Trophy Auckland 2010 • ISA World Junior Surfing Championship 2010 • World Rally Champs 2010 • Rugby World Cup 2011 • ITU World Cup Triathlon 2011 • Volvo Ocean Race Stopover 2012 • 2012 Dextro Energy ITU World Championship Series Grand Final • BMX World Champs 2013 • Joint host of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015
“Auckland lies at the narrowest point of New Zealand’s North Island, which means that everywhere you look, you see water - and our harbours are pristine. Combined with Auckland’s waterfront facilities, this means events on water or those looking for a showcasing opportunity are spoilt for choice,” she says. Recent events that have really capitalised on this natural setting include the Louis Vuitton match racing regattas and the ISA World Junior Surfing Championship. “Upcoming events such as the Volvo Ocean Race Stopover and both ITU Triathlon events will be set on or near the harbour, so spectators, participants and sponsors will be able to make the most of what’s on offer in Auckland,” says Sawbridge. New Zealand as a country is famous for its clean, green environment, strong cultural element, and its combination of beautiful landscapes and bustling
centres. Auckland has this natural beauty in spades. As New Zealand’s largest city Auckland also provides a balance to this remote environment. Auckland has the country’s largest supply of accommodation, public transport, and is New Zealand’s gateway to the world, with the vast majority of international connections via Auckland Airport. City and government stability and a clean safe environment also provide assurance for sports federations. Local Government has been restructured to provide a one-stop shop for events to work through, from venue finding right through to media support.

The sponsorship industry in West and Central Africa is still in its infancy. In most of the markets, there is very little depth as is evident in the concentration on very few platforms and properties. While football remains the major sport featured as the number one in all the markets, especially in the mass market, football is not one big generic block. For each country, the primary interest is in the national football teams but the English Premier League has made a strong headway. Different socio-economic groups have diverse interests in sports, entertainment, causes, etc. Our research presents the different groups and interests and the pattern of consumption for each interest. This information is important in building a conceptual framework for brand engagement for the different brands we work with. The framework eventually provides a non-generic outcome from brand to brand, a unique brand experience that can be owned by the different clients.

with companies who want to quantify their benefits.
Nigeria Our clients in Nigeria include Coca-Cola, GlaxoSmithKline, Stanbic IBTC Bank (Standard Bank), Mastercard, Sesame Workshop, FrieslandCampina, etc. Our work on the Stanbic IBTC sponsorship of the African Cup of Nations over two editions, Coca-Cola’s partnership with the Nigeria Football Federation and the national teams, Coca-Cola’s FIFA World Cup 2010 engagement and the developmental Copa Coca-Cola competition. The management of the GlaxoSmithKline partnership with the Nigeria Premier League and the Sprite Triple Slam Programme in 2010 (in conjunction with Soulcom Nigeria). The management of the UEFA Champions League viewing for Mastercard and the logistics and welfare management of the Lagos State Black Heritage Festival in 2010. These are just a few of the engagements that have kept Connect Marketing Services as a key player in sponsorships in Nigeria. Our relationship with federations and government institutions have helped us to chart the route for our clients within the market and to deliver on key brand and business objectives.
Ghana One of the key advantages of working with CMS is
that we are able to seamlessly plan and implement sponsorship programmes across the West and Central Africa corridor. Connect Ghana has worked for Stanbic Bank Ghana to bring the Africa Cup of Nations Trophy Tour to live in 2010. Connect Ghana has activated several golf sponsorships for MTN Ghana and in 2010 the company syndicated sponsorship commitments and organised the golf tournament for the 50th Anniversary of His Royal Highness, the Otumfo Nana Opuko Ware II. The company also works for the Ghana Sports Commission.
Connect Seminar Series As part of our commitment to deepen the practice of sponsorship in our market, Connect Marketing Services organises a Seminar Series every year. The seminar series has covered such areas like obtaining returns on sponsorship investment and creating alternatives to football as a sponsorship platform in our markets. The Seminar Series provides an opportunity to discuss new trends in the field of sponsorships.
Conclusion Connect Marketing Services is well positioned to address all your sponsorship needs in West and Central Africa. If you want us to present our suite of local insights, please let us know.

PORTUGAL - LAND OF HIDDEN OPPORTUNITIES Widely known as a blessed country, thanks to endless sandy beaches and warm sunny days, Portugal hides unearthed treasures every prospective hunter would like to collect. Visioncom’s Sports Marketing multi-lingual division established a series of specialized services to professionally advise any international enquiries. World-Class Athletes In recent years, Portuguese football players have been awarded as Best Footballers in the World. Youth National squads have won both World and European Championships several times. Further to soccer, our top performers won stages at Tour de France, are Triathlon’s World Champions, or jumping Olympic Champions. However, all over the country a new generation of enthusiastic and determined young people is working hard to follow their footsteps, dreaming in becoming new ronaldos, vanessas or nelsons. Searching for impactful endorsement or sponsorship opportunities have been added-value competencies in Visioncom’s “BrandBuilding” past portfolio. World’s Best, either from sport and entertainment, are among previous successful partnerships.
Promising Young Talent Uncovering outstanding young talents requires more than remarkable scouting skills, extensive networking or personal behaviour evaluation. There’s a Sixth Sense in prospecting talented and skilful youngsters, transversal to any sports, and we have used it when we discovered a promising teenager who later become World Champion and Olympic medallist. “RisingStars” is a procurement and talent scouting program designed to guarantee the higher commitment of players and athletes, both for club’s recruiting process or sponsor’s decision on investment opportunities.
Solid Foundations and Passionate Fans When people are so devoted to their National Team, as during European Championships, endless sponsorship opportunities arouse. Belief in hometown’s club is widely followed, not only in soccer, but in
342
other sports too (voleyball, basketball, rugby). As well, individual sports enjoy large mass supporting - cycling, athletics, triathlon. Club, school, and grassroots’ projects are strongly efficient ways of reaching a local, regional or global audience. “PremiumRights” advisory service from Visioncom ensures absolute property compromise with sponsor or broadcaster result-driven objectives, to better leverage partner budget.
State-of-the-art Venues The country’s infra-structure landscape became radically changed after Expo’98, which took place in Lisbon, giving a new aura of modernisation that was missing. Later, in 2004, with the advent of european championships, an overwhelming set of new stadia left a legacy of new sporting venues. Hard to be commercially explored and duly monetized, there are plenty of affordable opportunities for business and sponsor partnerships. Looking for an investment opportunity within sports venue ownership and/or management needs decisions taken with mastery. “FantasticArenas” was designed to help venue strategy directors make the wisest choice.
Unique Environment Such a wonderful climate and attractive venue infra-structures, make the perfect mix assuring best conditions to host any large-scale sports and entertainment event, turning the country into a morethan-deserved “Ideal Destination” title for any event’s property manager. Be it an open-air park, indoor arena or a 30,000+ seated stadium for any sort of sports competition or live performance, “AmazingEvents” will find a properly convenient location for the most demanding project.

Your City. Your Sports. Singapore is the vibrant global city where people from all over the world come to live, work and play. Singapore has one of the most diversified portfolios of successful sporting events and venues in Asia. The Singapore Sports Council (SSC) has a well-established track record of delivering service excellence throughout the sporting calendar, and it knows how to put new twists on old favourites. Strong behind-the-scenes support from the Singapore government enhances the SSC’s winning combination of diversity, excellence and innovation in sports. Indeed, in 2010, Singapore ranked 2nd in the prestigious Ultimate Sports Cities Awards and won the Sports City Gold Award in the 4th International Sports Event Management Awards. Over the medium term to 2014, SSC will expand its sporting universe through two mega projects: the Changi Motorsports Hub, scheduled for completion at year-end 2011; and the Singapore Sports Hub, which will open its doors in April 2014. For SSC, the new infrastructure will reinforce its commitment to creating a holistic sporting ecosystem for Singapore. Robust events business Singapore already has a robust events business. In 2010 alone, Singapore hosted professional events such as the high-octane action of Formula OneTM racing to the adrenaline rush of blood sports like boxing, Muay Thai and mixed martial arts to pure sports business conventions such as SPORTEL Asia 2010 and the International Cricket Council Annual Conference. The city also welcomed the International Olympic Committee into town for its first new event in 86 years,
354
with the inaugural Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games. Speaking at the closing press conference, IOC President Jacques Rogge noted: “I always knew (YOG) would be well organised, but I did not expect this level of perfection. I now have 22 Olympic Games under my belt but (Singapore) ranks at the very top.” Hot on the heels of YOG came Formula OneTM in September and the brand new Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore in December. Some 60,000 people signed up to try one of three running routes. The Marathon took people through the iconic neighbourhoods of Singapore, from the tropical lushness of Sentosa to the history of Chinatown to modern life along Marina Bay and Orchard Rd. Race organisers also added more categories such as the very popular Ekiden — a six-person relay — and a wheelchair race. Organising the different Marathon routes required buy-in from several different government agencies. The fact that SSC was able to organise the race in less than a year is a tribute to the government’s overall commitment to sports. Proven track record Singapore’s ability to deliver sports product as promised is one of the key reasons that the city has become increasingly popular as a venue for events hosting. Even in the midst of a world-wide recession, Singapore almost doubled participation in the 2nd edition of the OCBC Cycle Singapore — proving that when the going gets tough in Singapore, the tough play sports. The 2010 FORMULA 1 SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX was an overwhelming success — and is still the only night race in the Formula OneTM circuit. At the

event this year, Formula OneTM principal and owner Bernie Ecclestone declared exuberantly that he wanted Singapore to host the race for another 20 years. World-class connectivity Indeed, there are many reasons for people (and capital) to come to Singapore. The city is one of the most accessible in the world: Changi International Airport connects with more than 200 cities, with 5,000 arrivals and departures a week. The city offers world-class connectivity via a state-of-the-art telecommunications network and a massive, up-to-date transportation system. The government is business-friendly with a standard, low tax rate. Intellectual copyright is upheld in Singapore, making the place a preferred test market for multinational companies to launch their products and services. Singapore’s population is about 5 million, with 3.77 million in residence on the island. The country has a sizable, well-educated middle class. People, typically, are fluent in two languages, with English as the lingua franca in business. Virtually every home has a computer and, according to the numbers from Singapore Statistics, people on average own 1.3 mobile phones. Sporting Singapore However all the efficiency and affluence won’t mean much if a city still lacks the hardware and, most importantly, the sporting culture. The SSC has been carefully planting the seeds of the city’s sporting ecosystem for almost a decade. The results have come through in a steady uptrend in sports
participation, greater sponsorship of events and more medals at major games and world championships. Singapore has nurtured these results by maintaining an impressive network of sports facilities and venues across the island. Briefly, Singapore has 90-plus Olympic swimming pools, a hundred 400m-tracks, 442 football pitches, 1,484 basketball courts and 2,987 badminton courts — all concentrated on an island of merely 687 square kilometres. Sports isn’t just for entertainment in Singapore; it’s a way of life.
