Sponsership and Marketing Manager

May 2024Sep 2024 · 4 mos · Sheffield, England, United Kingdom · On-site

  • During my time as Sponsorship and Marketing Manager at Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, I had the exciting opportunity to contribute to the club's groundbreaking entry into competitive gaming. I took charge of our flagship project - the UK's first EAFC24 Pro Clubs 11v11 tournament (Owls Interactive 2.0), where I managed everything from initial planning to final execution.
  • One of my proudest achievements was building strong partnerships with major brands like Samsung, Woystone Apparel, and Milestone 3D. Through careful negotiation and relationship building, we managed to save 45.2% of our event budget with securing £20000 worth of sponsorship, while still delivering an exceptional experience for everyone involved.
  • I developed marketing campaigns that really connected with our target audience, bringing in over 1,000 attendees to our events. Working closely with the football club's marketing team, I made sure our esports division maintained the strong SWFC brand while carving out its own unique identity in the gaming world.
  • Day-to-day, I handled everything from creating engaging social media content to managing sponsor relationships and ensuring we delivered real value to our partners. I also worked with our production team to make sure our livestreams and events looked professional and ran smoothly.
  • The role taught me a lot about bridging the gap between traditional sports and esports, and showed me how to create successful marketing strategies in this rapidly growing industry. I'm particularly proud of how we built a strong community around our events and created lasting partnerships that benefited both the club and our sponsors.
