More than 1000 market professionals discovered the 7 winners of the TSMS at the gala evening held at the Thรฉรขtre Marigny in Paris on Monday, November 28. Nice Premium was present and can share the words of Laurent Damiani, President of Sporsora, the association that unites the players in sports marketing.
“The 8th edition marked by a complex economic environment. We notice a rationalization of activation budgets which can ultimately hinder the return on investment for brands. However, the virtuous effect is that companies are seeking to give greater meaning to a fairer and socially beneficial engagement.”
Guest of honor, Denis Masseglia, president of the CNOSF, addressed the business world by wishing for closer and more constructive collaboration.
The Trophies therefore reward the most professional, comprehensive, cross-disciplinary, and innovative sports marketing campaigns.
They are aimed at all players in the sports economy: businesses and local authorities. Their partners: the media, agencies, sports federations, research companies, event organizers, schools, etc.
