Key Deal Stories
What is a key deal story?
For the most important sponsorship deals, we go beyond the news to deliver deeper coverage.
If a deal is signed by a rights-holder in our editorial universe (see the image below), we commit to uncovering the deal value, duration, details of the inventory, the brand’s activation plans and all the context you need to understand why the deal was done.
What do we cover?
Our editorial universe covers the key rights-holders in the most important sports.
If one of these bodies strikes a deal, we will give it extended coverage.
