IntroductionThis module takes forward generic marketing principles towards a more specialised and contextualised focus which explores the complex and diverse terrains of sports advertising and sponsorship across the fast changing business environments of public, private and voluntary organizations. This will reflect upon the realm of one-off sport related events as well as less distinct sport and physical activity-related products, programmes and services. Global examples and case studies will be utilized to demonstrate the importance of sport marketing communication from an international perspective. The influence and practices of sports marketing companies will be explored, as will the growing impact of media and communications technologies.
The module will utilize live case studies of major sports markets to enhance the teaching and learning experiences of the students.
