SPONSORSHIP & PROMOTION
Navy Federal Credit Union and the NHL struck a multi-year US partnership designed to ‘recognize and support veterans, active duty service members and their families at NHL tentpole events, in broadcast and across the NHL’s digital platforms.” Navy Federal Credit Union will serve as the presenting sponsor of the inaugural NHL Veterans Appreciation Night broadcast on Nov. 7 on NBCSN, where the league and Navy Federal Credit Union will honor retired service members during the Wednesday Night Hockey broadcast doubleheader. As part of this partnership, the NHL and Navy Federal have launched “Stick Tap for Service,” a digital destination for veterans, active duty service members and their families to share personal stories of how hockey has impacted their lives. Navy Federal will also be an official partner and the presenting sponsor for military-themed ceremonial elements at the NHL Winter Classic, the NHL All-Star Weekend and the NHL Stadium Series. LaLiga North America launched its #BringUStheGame campaign, highlighting the growth of soccer in America and “the desire from American fans to bring the greatest soccer league in the world to the US to play the first ever European club regular season match held outside of Europe.” The scheduled match between LaLiga champions FC Barcelona and Girona FC will take place at Hard Rock Stadium on Jan 26 in Miami, Florida. E-Poll released its E-ScoreCelebrity rankings of the NBA’s most marketable players. Topping the list is Stephen Curry with an E-Score of 93, driven by the combination of his high Awareness (37%) and Appeal (56%). Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki hold the second and third places, while LeBron James comes in at fourth, down two spots from 2017, likely due to a dip in his Appeal, which often happens after changing teams, according to the company.
