The discussion highlights the increasing involvement of procurement departments, the need for greater transparency and better analytical tools, and the importance of long-term, sustainable relationships between brands and rights holders.
Our guests view these issues as crucial for sponsorship to continue growing as a vital revenue stream for sports organizations.

Media rights auctions are the moment when the question of 'Whatâs sport worth?' is asked and answered; the point at which the talk becomes real; where fortunes are been spent, won and lost, psychology meets money. The auction gives us a glimpse of a different future, that may or may not be the direction of travel for everyone else in the marketplace.
What makes this imperfect process more intriguing is that the basic return on investment equation is shifting in real time. The players in the game are not just a handful of traditional sports media companies. They are also the new breed of entertainment streamers, online retailers, mobile phone manufacturers or private equity firms. How does their presence around the table shift the fundamental question - what is sport worth?
Weâve got three strategy experts from Altman Solon, a global consultancy specializing in Technology, Media and Telecom, to provide an inside look at the media auction process, exploring its flaws and opportunities.
Joining us today are:
David Dellea, Partner at the Zurich office and leader of Altman Solonâs Sports Practice. David previously headed PwCâs sports practice
Pascal Stefan, Principal at the Munich office, formerly Head of Strategy at DAZN.
Davide Tesoro Tess, Senior Advisor for Altman Solon based in Milan, and formerly Executive Vice President for Strategy at Sky Italia.
Altman Solonâs recently published the 2024 Sports Surveyâa series of five in-depth publications exploring the state of the sports media business and revealing what consumers and industry executives envision for the future.

Today's guest is Infinite Athlete founder Charlie Ebersol.
Infinite Athlete has been a sports business story since the brand suddenly appeared on Chelseaâs shirt at the start of last season.
It's a story with a lot of baggage: Charlie Ebersol is the son of actress Susan St James and Dick Ebersol, the legendary NBC Sport chairman. IA is backed by Andreesen Horowitz, Silver Lake, Endeavour and Todd Boehly, the Chelsea co-owner. Insert the boring but important phrase âAssociated Party Transactionsâ. All parties were asked by the Premier League about potential conflicts of interest and whether the sponsorship value of the shirt exceeded fair market value, which is a slippery concept in and of itself. The final sentence of this paragraph is: âThe Premier League approved the deal after thorough scrutinyâ.
That story, or a version of it, is how many people talk about Infinite Athlete.
Charlie Ebersolâs responses to this narrative are really interesting, and Iâll leave you to have a listen and judge for yourself.
We then get to the other question, which is: WTF is Infinite Athlete?
Using Chelsea as a use case, Ebersol is good on the big problem of sports tech, which AI is about to make worse.
