Improving the value of their investment
Your sponsors will take their own PR activities in promoting their sponsorships of your sporting brand; however, that activity has greater credibility with the media if it directly originates from your sporting brand. Your Lookatmedia™ online newsroom allows you to coordinate more closely with your sponsors' PR teams to align better strategies and the stories you want to tell through the media.

Attracting other sponsors to your sport brand
On average, it is recommended that sponsors change which sporting brands they sponsor every 5 years, as that is when the reputational and commercial returns begin to diminish. This is bad news for sports brands who work tirelessly to secure sponsors and depend on that additional income stream to remain viable. The increased exposure of both your brand and your sponsor brands through the media put you on the radar of others considering their next sponsorship investment. In addition to this increased media exposure, Lookatmedia™ also acts as a portal where potential news sponsors can understand how they may be included in your sporting brand's storytelling.

Making your sporting brand ‘stickier’
Many sporting sponsorships are cut short because of issues associated with a brands' reputation and the behaviours of individual sportspeople. Brands associate themselves with brands to build their reputations, so when a sporting brand's reputation becomes tarnished, most brands will discontinue their associations. Lookatmedia™ is designed with features that allow you to send messages directly to journalists, providing you with opportunities to respond faster to breaking stories that may potentially undermine your value to any sponsor. It also is a place where you can create and publish content on policies, commitments and the good works of your brand and individual athletes, demonstrating that anyone issue is an outlier. It also provides an opportunity to provide resources such as policies and activities that demonstrate a commitment and actions on polices in line with those of your sponsors.
