Exclusive: Bowl Games Prep National Sponsorship Platform IEG SPONSORSHIP REPORT August 22, 2011 800/834-4850 | www.IEGSR.com STRATEGY Exclusive: Bowl Games Prep National Sponsorship Platform Bowl games put aside differences to secure incremental sponsorship revenue; category exclusivity, competitive issues could hinder program rollout. In what will likely have a major impact on the way sponsorships are bought and sold in college football, the Football Bowl Assn. is developing a national sponsorship platform around post-season games. The FBA—which represents the country’s 35 bowl games—plans to have the program up and running for the 2012 season. The association is developing the platform by aggregating the games into a one-stop source for national bowl game sponsorships. “College football is the second-most popular sport in the country behind pro football, and it does not have a national platform. We want to have a conversation about national partnerships that can add value to college football and our partners,” said Steve Hogan, CEO of Florida Citrus Sports, a nonprofit that owns and operates the Capital One Bowl and Champs Sports Bowl. Hogan, who serves as FBA vice chairman, is spearheading the sponsorship initiative on behalf of the association. The program is designed to help bowl games access national marketing budgets. While most games work with national brands, the majority of deals are with local or regional offices, not corporate headquarters. “Outside of title sponsors, most games don’t have many, if any, conversations with national sponsors,” Hogan said. “That’s a real frustration.” The initiative is notable based on the level of cooperation between the games, most of which have historically viewed each other as adversaries in terms of ticket sales, team recruitment and status in the bowl game hierarchy. “For years the industry has operated in silos. We come together once a year to talk about best practices, but everyone is protective of their turf. After many years of beating this idea into the ground we said ‘Why not?’ If we can aggregate inventory, we can lift all boats.” In addition to rights to game logos, hospitality and other traditional sponsorship assets, Hogan envisions the program including social media and inclusion in events that occur in conjunction with each game. “There is a lot of inventory before the kickoff that can be monetized.” © 2011 IEG, LLC.

Just as fashion brands are signing scores of new sponsorships aimed at normalizing fashion among males, marketers of watches—the only “jewelry” widely embraced by men—are doubling and tripling their sponsorship budgets, hoping to increase acceptance of luxury and fashion watches. Rolex is the biggest spender on sponsorship among luxury watch makers, but LVMH’s Hublot has my vote as the category’s most innovative sponsor. With the signing of UEFA’s Euro 2008, Hublot became the first luxury brand to sponsor soccer. But, rather than just riding the coattails of “the beautiful game”, Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of the Geneva-based company, wanted to use the high profile event as a platform to promote the brand’s own values. To that end, Biver donated all of the brand’s stadium signage to Unite Against Racism. The bold gesture was embraced by journalists, social media influencers, Hublot customers and prospects. Within 12 months, football sponsors, teams and federations each launched campaigns of their own to highlight their commitment to social responsibility. Since then, Biver has gone on to architect more than a dozen new deals for Hublot, growing awareness, affinity and sales of the brand worldwide. For example, as part of Hublot’s recent three-year sponsorship of the NBA Miami Heat, the brand has committed to raising at least $750,000 for the team’s charitable fund. And, while many luxury watch brands focus on sports like polo and yacht racing, Biver is more interested in reaching the next generation of customers, which he says are watching football and basketball. Biver’s high profile deals and concomitant record-breaking sales have not gone unnoticed by competitors. In 2011, almost every luxury watch maker has increased sponsorship expenditures and broadened their portfolios. For example, new deals in 2011 for Audemars Piguet—the brand favored by cognoscenti–include the expected: endurance racing at Belguim’s famed racetrack, Spa, as well as the less traditional, the LeBron James Family Foundation and the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. Interestingly, the deal with the Heat’s popular LeBron James coincides with Hublot’s new partnership with the team. Meanwhile, Swatch-owned Longines more than doubled its portfolio of show jumping, tennis, skiing and gymnastics events in 2011. Activation includes support of youth events and causes. © 2011 IEG, LLC. All rights reserved. 3 IEG SPONSORSHIP REPORT Category Hot Buttons Objectives for companies in the luxury watch category typically include the right to produce co-branded watches; access to talent to serve as brand ambassadors; opportunities to involve key retailers; and the opportunity to set up an on-site store. Showcasing precision and heritage also are important to most brands in the category. Key markets include China, Russia, Abu Dhabi, India, Turkey and the U.S.A. Sponsorships used as much to showcase product attributes—chronographs, navigation, timing, etc.—as image and awareness-building include yacht racing, aviation and motorsports. Sponsorships aimed at the affluent male target include polo, skiing, tennis and golf. In the last five years, brands in the category have broadened their portfolios to include partnerships with causes, performing and visual arts, film festivals, European football, horse racing, endurance sports and basketball. The global market for watches is forecast to reach $31.5 billion by the year 2015, according to a report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Below, sponsorship activity on behalf of brands in the luxury watch category. Audemars Piguet The brand favored by men who can afford any brand has an eclectic portfolio that includes causes, motorsports, sailing, horse racing and the Tony Awards. Still owned by its founding family, Audemars Piguet creates special-edition products around its sponsorships. For example, the company made a series of limited-edition watches around its sponsorship of Team Alinghi, the winner of the America’s Cup in 2003 and 2007. The company also created the Jules Audemars Clinton Foundation Equation of Time watch around its partnership with the nonprofit. The company prefers sports that showcase perseverance such as endurance racing and the America’s Cup. It also uses sponsorship to highlight its commitment to the fight against AIDS and sustainability. For example, around its sponsorship of the 2011 Tony Awards, the brand hosted a charity clock auction to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

  • History of Badminton
    Facts and Records History of Badminton In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party at his country house in the village of Badminton, Gloucestershire. A game of Poona was played on that day and became popular among British society’s elite. The new party sport became known as “the Badminton game”. In 1877, the Bath Badminton Club was formed and developed the first official set of rules. The Badminton Association was formed at a meeting in Southsea on 13th September 1893. It was the first National Association in the world and framed the rules for the Association and for the game. The popularity of the sport increased rapidly with 300 clubs being introduced by the 1920’s. Rising to 9,000 shortly after World War Π. The International Badminton Federation (IBF) was formed in 1934 with nine founding members: England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Denmark, Holland, Canada, New Zealand and France and as a consequence the Badminton Association became the Badminton Association of England. From nine founding members, the IBF, now called the Badminton World Federation (BWF), has over 160 member countries. The future of Badminton looks bright. Badminton was officially granted Olympic status in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Indonesia was the dominant force in that first Olympic tournament, winning two golds, a silver and a bronze; the country’s first Olympic medals in its history. More than 1.1 billion people watched the 1992 Olympic Badminton competition on television. Eight years later, and more than a century after introducing Badminton to the world, Britain claimed their first medal in the Olympics when Simon Archer and Jo Goode achieved Mixed Doubles Bronze in Sydney.

The interior ministry identified the attacker as Ibrahim Suleiman, born in 1988. It said he was driving a cleaning truck at the time of the attack, and suffered multiple fractures and injuries. The min- istry added the five US soldiers were not injured. Security sources said that the suspect was taken to hospital under tight security. Detectives found in his possession a hand-written letter pledging allegiance to IS and adopting its ideology. Explosives - including a suicide belt - were found in the truck, owned by a local contracting company. Security bodies are interro- gating Ibrahim Suleiman Suleiman and conducting investi- gations to uncover the circumstances of the attack, in addition to finding the suspect’s accomplices and bring them to justice, the ministry said, reiterating commit- ment to preserving the safety and security of Kuwait and Kuwaitis. Kuwait is a stalwart US ally following the 1991 American-led Gulf War that ended the Iraqi occupation.
