Sports Clubs and Events Marketing

Create the Experience… Attract the Fans… Boost the Revenue

In the last decade, the sports industry has witnessed a radical transformation towards using technology and digital analytics to enhance athletic performance and audience experience. According to the MarketsandMarkets report, the sports technology market is expected to reach $68.70 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9% since 2025.

This growth reflects the significant shift in how sports clubs and events are managed, from improving on-field performance to engaging audiences through digital platforms and securing sponsors and strong business partnerships. However, clubs and sports organizations face a major challenge: weak customized marketing strategies, which leads to lower fan engagement, decreased sponsorship revenue, and missed digital marketing opportunities.

This course aims to enable participants to utilize the latest sports marketing tools and technology-backed strategies, ensuring fan engagement, enhancing supporter experience, and maximizing revenue through smart marketing campaigns and advanced analytics.
