What a unique sponsorship / naming-rights deal! Usually, we see well-known - or not-so-well-known - B2C and B2B brands inking lucrative contracts worth many millions of dollars to put their name and logo on sports and entertainment venues. With Pitbull's new deal with FIU, however, will we begin to see more celebrities and entertainers doing the same to build their own brands? Or will this be just a one-off example that won't catch fire in any meaningful way?

Marketing comes in all shapes and sizes.

The future faces of baseball operation management are right here.

A debate in our home often sparks between my daughters and my son about the relative fame of Taylor Swift versus Liverpool FC. When this comes up, I always emphasize that a proper valuation analysis would be needed to draw meaningful comparisons between the two. Exciting news! My colleagues have initiated the process with Kroll’s European Football Stadium Naming Rights Report. This analysis covers the top 36 teams in major European football leagues, offering valuation metrics based on various factors like shirt sponsorships, social media followers, and team performance. Curious about the potential income for Europe’s top football clubs? Check out the analysis here: http://ms.spr.ly/6048lbEvq (Now all that is left is to value the Swiftie Empire, and the matter will be settled). #ValuationAnalysis #EuropeanFootball #NamingRights #Valuation
