Branded content and professional sports: 31 examples
How much do you like getting interrupted during the game?
So, did you win your Super Bowl bets yesterday?
The Super Bowl is without a doubt the biggest showcase of interruptive advertising on earth. Traditional spots, on TV, that although they might be tied to a larger global campaign, will for the most part not be broadcasted much more than during the big game.
A lot of money invested for a very short shelf-life.
Every vertical and niche is getting into long-form video and branded content and pro sports is not different. Not only does it engage your audience for a longer period of time, it can have a much longer usable life.
You all know about Red Bull and GoPro initiatives on the extreme sports front, but do you know about the dozens of examples in football, basketball, rugby, soccer?
