Luxury brands have always been interested in partnering up with sports in general. At first, brands approached more elitist sports; but as time went by, they understood the power of popular sports such as rugby, the NBA and even football. Nowadays, these collaborations have become a mainstream practice.
Empower Sports reached out to Sparkling PR so we could consult, develop and manage partnerships between their clients and luxury brands worldwide.
“For those who know me, understand that football is a family affair. One of my first memories is seeing my father play at the glorious Benfica stadium, so this collaboration with Pedro was a natural match and I’m very excited to start working on finding brands that are a perfect fit for each of these incredible football icons”
