Read moreIt all started with a simple tweet that I posted last night:
Do you think the term “sponsorships” is outdated and everything should be called partnerships? just an idea I’ve been thinking about…
It was really just an idea I’ve briefly thought about on occasion. A lot of times the terms “sponsorships” and “partnerships” are thrown around and used interchangeably to describe deals between entertainment and sports properties and brands. But does the wording that properties/brands use reflect how they actually see their relationships? Should we be moving towards the use of partnerships (which imply that both sides benefit) and away from sponsorships (which unfortunately has not been very well explained to the general public)?

When the first Super Bowl aired on television, you had zero chance of watching a video clip on your phone, or the internet. The HD came along and gave you every sport in details that you didn’t even know you wanted or existed. Technology today allows you to watch your home TV from your phone or computer hundreds of miles away, or catch all the latest highlights while flying in an airplane.
Thanks to technology, sport can be found any and everywhere.
