Our Annual Sport for Business Sponsorship Showcase took place yesterday in Malahide, lighting up the imagination of the full house audience of brands and agencies that joined us.

“Great event, it was super to see some of the start-ups get airtime like that as well as the bigger properties,” said Tom Fox, co-founder of 53 Six.

“It was brilliant and I feel so inspired after listening to all the wonderful presentations,” added Denise O’Donnell of Staycity Aparthotels.

We saw the best of what sport has coming down the tracks in 2025 from Ulster Rugby and the DP World Tour, from Gymnastics Ireland and Hockey Ireland, from DLR Waves and the new app for Women’s Football, Sportelle which went live yesterday morning as well, from Rugby Players Ireland, Canoeing Ireland, Sporting Pride, eLocker and Athletics Ireland’s Daily Mile.

Over the course of the coming days and weeks we will be recreating the morning as best we can for those who couldn’t make it with the presentations uploaded into our Sponsorship Marketplace, for our Sport for Business members.

We will be following up with the feedback provided by our audience to the presenters, comments like

“Good articulation of the opportunity. Good use of stats and what is on offer for a brand.”

“I liked that they led with research and insight into a particular challenge.”

“Emotive and delivered with so much passion.”

“Very enjoyable, very personable presentation.”

“Clear, buyable, transparent proposition – they will find funders.”

And we will carry the interview that we did with Danielle McKenna of Irish Life who joined us to give her experience of what a sponsor is looking for from a rights holder.

It was a fun day to be a part of and we are confident that this was a day that we will look back on over the next year as an important step for a number of those looking to find the partner that can elevate their opportunity.

Looking forward already to doing it all over again in 2025.

And we have plenty more coming up in our ‘No-Miss November’ line up of events below.
