SUMMARY

This report contains 15 case studies: our pick of Europe’s most interesting, innovative or instructive sponsorship activations from approximately the last 12 months.

Each of our case studies takes an activation produced by a brand and a rights-holder and explains the objectives of the campaign, details the practical elements of the activation and reports the outcomes.

As in previous European selections, football dominates, plausibly as limited activation funds amid Covid-19 flowed to the highest-profile partnerships.
