Mumbrella Sports Marketing Summit

Introducing the global keynote

 
R/GA’s Managing Director for Social, Kyle Bunch, will fly in from the US for July’s summit. Bunch leads social strategy and campaign initiatives across the agency’s global network of clients and has worked directly on Nike, Telstra, the NRL, Beats by Dre, Converse, Google, Johnson & Johnson, Heineken, Unilever and ANZ.
 
In his keynote session, the future of sport will be investigated like never before.

Sport is being disrupted for a variety of reasons. The way fans consume their favourite sports and how brands use sport strategically in their campaigns is changing dramatically. Brands need to do something different with their sportsmarketing dollars.

Off the back of an in-depth analysis into sport conducted by the agency, Bunch will reveal where sport is going and what brands and agencies need to look out for.

Worth a Gamble? The Relationship Between Betting Agencies and Sport

 

Betting agencies and sport coverage has been a topic of discussion within Australian sport for years. There is still significant debate about what should and shouldn’t be allowed. This panel session will generate a discussion around this topic, asking whether betting agencies should be allowed to advertise or have relationships with media, if there need to be more rules and regulations, if sport gambling is increasing, or if nothing needs to be changed.
