Southerner Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Wakey continue to surprise me on and off the field. They’ve nearly been relegated/ out of business on a number of occasions. They’ve got a cracking team, finally sorting out their ground and now this. Well played to all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about Game of Thrones because I don't watch it but I do know its famous and loads of people do. Likewise this sponsor, I don't know the ins and outs of the company or follow its product ranege with much interest but I've heard of them. Its not pedentry on my part its stating the blooming obvious. Did you know much about your teams sponsor before they signed up? If it helps I'll read up on them just to keep forum pedants happy, hows that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenilworth Tiger Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I was with Chris (The guy in the photo) from Asus a few weeks ago and he was telling me how incredible the price is for hospitality at Rugby League in general. Being in the consumer IT industry it goes without saying that Asus have a large marketing budget, often spent on football and formula 1. I'm genuinely surprised at the incredibly low number of large corporations that don't invest in RL - the ROI must be significantly better than other sports Apparently matchday hospitality at Wakey goes through expenses and doesn't need marketing sign off such is the low value! Anyway, fair play for getting such a good sponsor on board, not sure on the value but great form a prestige perspective Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in. I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

Who knows, maybe many big companies just don't get asked or the clubs don't make it an attractive enough proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, maybe many big companies just don't get asked or the clubs don't make it an attractive enough proposition. I actually know part of the answer to this - it cuts both ways. I was lobbying hard a few years ago for a U.K. household name sponsor to get involved at RFL/SL level as a sponsor. I was sorting out their sponsorship/marketing/brand awareness and there was/remains a great fit - I’m obviously not going to name them. They were attracted by the low cost of signing up, but at the same time would rather, in as many words, “spend double or triple on something with a nationwide profile”. I tried.

Yes, I think sport sponsorship is a funny one - big companies going into this space don't tend to be looking for great value. It is a numbers game.
