MKTG - Frontier22 Survey Extended to Support Sponsorship:Reworked Conference 


Earlier this year we asked In the Loop readers to support MKTG Sports + Entertainment's 2022 Frontier Survey and a HUGE thanks to all of you who did!) One key finding from the survey was that purpose-based partnerships are now an essential pillar of the sector. We've teamed up with MKTG to ask just a few more questions to dig deeper and delve further to understand the opportunities in this purpose space. The responses will be shared and discussed at our own Sponsorship:Reworked Conference on the 1st November 2022 at the British Library. The additional questions will take no more than 2 minutes of your time to answer and we'd be really grateful if you could share your thoughts by clicking here!
