Sport is followed by millions of people across the globe. Here in the UK, in the USA, Russia – any country where it is played, televised or supported, sport inspires belief and following across all ages. And it’s that belief that makes it such a useful tool in delivering high impact social marketing interventions.
Sports appeals to all – across the ages
Sport inspires passion, it makes a difference to people’s lives – it’s exciting and exhilarating.
For people from disadvantaged communities who have had a bad start in life, those that are struggling to connect with learning opportunities, or are just lost and turning to bad habits like drug taking, drinking and other anti-social stuff, social marketing (sports projects) can change lives, address health inequalities and create new and promising futures.
What does a social marketing, sports project look like?
Each and every social marketing project is different, but may use new technologies, video, online tools, awareness campaigns, role models, creative advertising etc to deliver key messages.
