  • This year, we have been incredibly proud to support ParalympicsGB in launching their first ever Athlete Community, with the intention of reuniting every athlete who has competed at a Paralympic Games for Great Britain & Northern Ireland since the inaugural competition in 1960. Alongside ParalympicsGB, we believe this is a hugely important and necessary action in recognising the incredible contribution of every athlete – the pioneers who have paved a way for our current athletes, as true champions for the Paralympic movement.

  • Over the course of 2024, we have taken on seven different work experience students from a variety of different schools, colleges and universities. The latest was Ellie Wingfield, a second-year Sports Journalism student from the University of Northampton. With a passion for women’s sport, Ellie reached out to us through the Women’s Sport Collective (shout out Sue Anstiss MBE & Kate Hannon!), and we were delighted to welcome her for two days at the end of October to get a taste for agency life – especially to see first-hand the work we’re doing through our new women’s sport practice, Run x… Read more about her experience here: https://lnkd.in/efxiBFed

  • In the same month we’ve seen EY publish their latest Sports Index survey, we’ve also seen major sports like rugby and cricket launch new strategies to get more young people in their sports. That got us thinking – what are some of the best ways sports are capturing the attention of Gen Z, and what can others learn from it? In an age when attention is the hottest commodity, certain sports have cracked the code to engaging younger audiences. These sports are not just keeping pace with the interests of Gen Z; they are setting the pace. From embracing digital innovation to building authentic player brands, here’s what some of the most successful sports are doing to connect with young fans — and how others can follow suit. 1. Embracing Short, High-Impact Content To understand the success of sports like football and basketball among younger fans, look at how they deliver their most thrilling moments. Short, high-impact content highlights the essence of these games, capturing attention in ways that align with Gen Z’s preference for fast, snackable media. 2. Building a Digital-First Experience Young fans don’t just want to watch a game — they want an interactive experience that lets them connect with the sport in new ways. Leading sports have invested heavily in digital platforms to create immersive experiences that allow fans to feel like part of the action. 3. Authentic Player Brands that Resonate with Young People Today’s young fans are drawn to the personalities behind the game as much as to the game itself. Sports stars like Simone Biles, Vini Jr and LeBron James were recently named by SportsPro as the three most marketable athletes in the world, and they’ve done this by building influential personal brands through authentic, relatable personas. 4. Meeting Gen Z Where They Are Finally, leading sports understand that to capture Gen Z’s interest, they must meet them where they already are: on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Engaging younger audiences means creating content tailored to these platforms. So what’s the answer? As attention spans shrink and competition for fan engagement grows, successful sports have adapted by prioritising accessibility, authenticity, and innovation. They’ve shown that connecting with younger fans is less about changing the sport itself and more about how it’s presented, shared, and celebrated.

  • We are delighted to be supporting Marylebone Cricket Club with their call for more female cricketers to be part of MCC’s passionate women’s playing community, working with former England bowler and World Cup winner, Anya Shrubsole DipPFS as the newly appointed Chair of the club’s Women’s Players and Fixtures sub-committee. Run x (Run’s dedicated women’s sport practice) and MCC kicked off last week by securing interviews with Anya to talk about this mission with BBC News, Sky Sports News, Press Association, ESPN, TalkSPORT, and Global Radio. Jess Arnold, Director of Women’s Sport at Run x said: “MCC is actively seeking to increase its numbers of female Playing Members and membership is a great way to play an active role in the future of the game for women and girls, make new connections, and open future opportunities within the sport. We’re proud to support MCC in their mission to help get more women & girls playing cricket which fully aligns to our approach of ensuring fair and equitable opportunities on and off the field of play.” Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/eTpVsEMZ
