The last few years have seen a fundamental transformation in how audiences engage with major sporting events. With the World Cup 2026 in North America for the first time in over 30 years, and the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028, brands face an opportunity to connect with global audiences in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago. The evolution of social media, influencer partnerships, and digital engagement has created a new playbook for sports marketing. Navigating and understanding this landscape requires deep strategic insight and new ways of envisioning your marketing plans. Our Global CEO for Passions and PR Specialism, Robin Clarke will explore these themes alongside industry leaders Danielle Hughes, VP Communications BODYARMOR Sports Nutrition, Bruno Garcia, VP Marketing Oakley, and Val Middleton, former EVP of Athlete Partnerships and Digital Marketing SC30 Inc. at the PRWeek Sports Conference in New York City this Wednesday, Feb. 26 from 10:15 AM - 10:45 a.m. They will examine how brands can authentically harness the new spirit of fandom to connect with audiences through these big moments.
