Custom Marketing Solutions
By listening intently and applying strategic marketing assets and capabilities, Learfield works with our brand partners to understand their business needs and target audiences and craft college sports sponsorship packages that deliver results. Our branding toolbox includes school marks and intellectual property, digital and display advertising, social content, premium branding placements, hospitality, radio and streaming audio broadcasts, experiential marketing, placements on official athletic websites, college esports leagues, and more. Using a combination of these, we can create a program that delivers the awareness, customer acquisition, or conversion targets that further a brand’s purpose.
Not Just on Game Day, But Every Day
College sports marketing is most visible on game days, when the pageantry of the game meets the unique traditions of each school. However, fans are fans not just on game day, but every day. They wear their fandom to campus, to the coffee shop, to the grocery store, on their run at the gym, and to their devices as they stay connected with their favorite team. We ensure brands join fans on their journey.
