Branding is Key
Outside of the large brands, many sports teams’ visibility is limited to a regional basis and sometimes, even in that region the brand image is not a household name. Developing a dedicated following is hard, especially when consistency is not present. One way to help with this problem is the creation or revision of a branding guide. This guide can make life easier for everyone as it gives you a definitive vision instead of leaving it up to an individual’s interpretation.
However, it does not stop there as generating consistent content ideas can create a buzz that fans look forward to and have them talking about what to expect in the next installment while consuming your other content during the creation breaks to fill the time.
This consistent buzz may lead to other brands wanting to work with you because of the potential mutual benefits a partnership can provide. But the right collaboration is vital as authenticity is a driver in the sports industry as fans are loyal to the cause and do not enjoy imposters.
