SPONSORSHIP & PROMOTION
Univision Deportes unlocked its full roster of sponsors for its coverage of the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup with more than 20 brands from across categories signing on to be part of Univision Deportes’ exclusive Spanish-language coverage. Sprint returns to Gold Cup with a 360-sponsorship across linear and digital, while first-time supporters of the event are set to include Valvoline, Uber Eats, Jeep brand and AT&T. AT&T, Modelo Especial, Victoria Beer, Corona, Mazda, State Farm, Toyota, Bud Light, Walmart and Wells Fargo will activate around the tournament as part of Univision’s partnership with Twitter. “I’m thrilled to announce that we have surpassed all previous milestones with our Gold Cup inventory,” said Steve Mandala, President of Advertising Sales and Marketing, Univision. “The anticipation for this year’s tournament has been unlike any I can remember, and that excitement has extended to our valued partners who have lined up to be part of the summer’s premier soccer event. We look forward to delivering a best-in-class production and providing wall-to-wall, comprehensive coverage to the country’s most passionate soccer audience.” Speaking of the Gold Cup, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football unveiled several initiatives designed to deliver new and engaging experiences to fans following the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup. Initiatives include the ability to follow the tournament on mobile through an official app, access to interactive and behind the scenes content, and the “This Is Ours” campaign, which leverages fans’ love for the game. Other activations include the Futbol Fiesta Pre-game Fan Destination at the 15 U.S.-based stadiums, as well as the Gold Cup Station in the Great Hall of Chicago’s Union Station. Meanwhile, Grey Argentina partnered with Telemundo to launch its promotional campaign for the Copa America Brazil 2019. Under the slogan, “The irresistible desire to watch the best in the world,” the campaign features soccer stars and celebrities as loyal fans faced with a difficult dilemma: deciding whether to watch the world’s best players in the Copa America or stay faithful to their national teams, which are playing in a different tournament at the same time. Those featured in the campaign include Mexican soccer legend Claudio “El Emperador” Suárez, Costa Rica’s Rolando Fonseca, Colombian actress Viviana Serna, and Larry Hernández, Mexican regional music figure and star of the Universo series Larrymanía. In deal news, the Syracuse University Orange and Nike will continue their more than 30-year relationship through a new multi-year agreement that will see Syracuse teams, coaches and staff use Nike-provided products, including gear, uniforms, shoes and specified equipment and accessories for games, practices and clinics. "We are pleased to continue our longstanding partnership with Nike. This agreement benefits all 20 varsity sports and every student-athlete at Syracuse University," said Director of Athletics John Wildhack. "The agreement increases the product we receive from Nike on an annual basis and will aid in our ongoing efforts to provide a tremendous experience for our student-athletes."
