Next Thursday’s Sport for Social Good Conference in Dublin will unveil bespoke research into the value of Cause Marketing in Sport carried out by The Brand Fans.
The findings will be published as part of our inaugural Sport for Business Sport for Social Good which will be given to those attending the half-day event.
The research looks at areas of trust, closeness and loyalty that a selection of brands with an involvement in sport gain from their specific projects in this area and the results are enlightening.
“We selected five brands in Ireland that are active in this space,” said The Brand Fans Daragh Persse who conducted the research in partnership with Amárach Research.
“These brands are not only investing in social causes but they are backing it up with a real commitment to marketing and activation, making the partnership a core pillar of their brand.”
“The results demonstrate the real potential for cause marketing to engage with consumers, differentiate the brand and drive business results.”
Persse will present the findings to the Conference as part of an exciting agenda which also includes a session on how Leinster Rugby selected their Partner Charities for the year and one on why sport is seen as such a good prism for social impact campaigns.
