Where sponsorship deals have not been reported, the Sponsorship Today team actively seeks data through web searches, annual financial reports and contacting sponsors, agencies and rights holders. Most sponsorship deals are not reported and, of those that are, the majority do not provide accurate fee or duration data. IMR estimates unreported fee values through comparisons with similar deals, contacts with industry insiders and through its long experience of creating sponsorship analysis reports. There is no guarantee of accuracy of estimates. The sponsorship industry is also known to overstate sponsorship fee values. Such reports are frequently based on the maximum potential value of a deal and might include the total should all incentive clauses (such as sporting success) be met and no morality clauses invoked.

  • Kookaburra & PENKO
    Kookaburra & PENKO - The Perfect Solution! A joint feature on process automation for the production of cricket balls. Proprietary of PENKO/ETC – In agreement with Kookaburra and Ward MHS THE COMPANY Kookaburra Sport Pty Ltd is an Australian manufacturer of sports products and the largest producer of cricket balls in the world. Named after the Australian Kingfisher, this family owned business was founded in 1890 and is entrenched as one of the leading Australian hand-made cricket ball manufacturers. The Kookaburra Turf Cricket Ball has been used exclusively in Australia, New Zealand and South African Test Cricket since 1946 and the Dimple hockey ball has been used in Olympic Games since 1984. It is the only ball recommended by the Federation Internationale de Hockey. In addition to its Australian operations housing over 60 employees, Kookaburra has offices in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, South Africa, and India. Proprietary of PENKO/ETC – In agreement with Kookaburra and Ward MHS THE PROBLEM Cricket is also known as the “Gentlemen’s game” where innings are interrupted for “Tea”. The ball is anything but gentle. Its core is made of a cork and rubber covered by many layers of cork and tightly wound wool, and finally covered with a highly polished leather casing. Made entirely of natural materials, balls will vary in size, structure and – of course in weight. Leather is never of consistent thickness, even when taken from the same hide. The outer cover of a ball is made up of 2 pieces selected on bases of similar quality and are hand sewn together.
