Soon after, sport marketing begun to be appreciated no longer as a mere commercial tool, but instead as a wider umbrella of promotional elements that encapsulates aspects such as commercial sponsorship, advertising and publicity, while centring on the fans and the engagement with them. Recent developments in technology, such as the creation and adoption of new and social media have also attracted sport marketing’s attention, with ample literature exploring this new hybrid element of the marketing communication mix and how it is utilized within the sport ecosystem.
