Beyond the Game: Athletes, Events, Spectators and Venues in Sports Marketing
Author(s): Dr. Lecturer Member Göker GÜLAY

The book maps sports marketing across three pillars: (i) the basics (institutional view of sport and demand; the split between marketing in sport and marketing through sport; conceptualizing sport as a product—tangible vs. intangible; sports consumers, fan motivation/loyalty; venues as advertising media and the communication value of major events), (ii) the strategic use of social media (risks, relationship marketing, the prosumer, content and measurement/analytics), and (iii) advertising in and through sport (celebrity/athlete endorsement, brand–athlete congruity, event planning and marketing communications). It shows how digitalization (broadcast quality, internet, mobile) amplifies sport’s unpredictability, emotion, and community to drive engagement and ROI, and distills actionable strategy frames for clubs, brands, and event owners.

Target Readership:
Communication/media and marketing scholars; sports-marketing practitioners; club and event managers; agencies and brand teams; graduate students in sports marketing and advertising.

Keywords:
Sports marketing; sports consumer; fan engagement; social media; sporting events; venue advertising; celebrity/athlete endorsement; sponsorship.
