Talent take note: there can be more to brand endorsement deals than just cash for commercial rights.

Harry Kane joins a prestigious list of athletes with lifetime sponsorship agreements, but this is likely to be no average boot deal.

Multi-club ownership is commonplace in men's football, but neither the horizontal or vertical integration model has established itself in the women's game.

An opportunity to get ahead of the competition with benefits including centralised governance, talent ID & shared revenue.

Tom Brady’s value to Birmingham City is about a lot more than just money given his profile, network and industry expertise.

I spoke to @greggevans40 at @TheAthleticFC on why Brady’s value to the club extends far beyond an injection of capital resource👇

LeBron James, JJ Watt, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and now Tom Brady - sporting greats from across the pond are clamouring to get involved with English football.

But why?

I spoke to @Tom_Morgs at @TelegraphSport as to what is driving the trend.

SlamBall continues its return with a powerhouse investor group converting a dormant sport that has recently lived exclusively on social media back into reality.

I spoke to @CNN on SlamBall’s comeback & prospects given it’s viral potential and audience.

It's the dawn of a new era for MLS as Messi’s start goes from strength to strength.

I previously spoke to @CityAm about the groundbreaking impact of his signing and the multi-faceted nature of the package that has been agreed 👇🏼

[Major League Soccer @MLS]

A joy to watch—unless you're a defender.

Rewind all of Messi's moments from a two-goal, one-assist showing against Atlanta in @LeaguesCup action.

[Ben Peppi @BenPeppi]

Saudi Arabia's influence on football could have a long-lasting impact.

It was great to speak on @SkySportsNews earlier today to assess what an influx of big-name stars means for the wider game 👇

[Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews]

What are the benefits and concerns of Premier League players moving to the Saudi Pro League? 🤔✍️

[Ben Peppi @BenPeppi]

@InterMiamiCF now has more followers than any NFL, MLB, NHL or MLS team.

I spoke to @CityAM as to why signing Lionel Messi is not only a game changer for the club, but US sport in its entirety 👇

Fantastic insight from @TheAthleticFC on the move that made @Cristiano the highest-paid player in football history.

It was a pleasure to speak with @dansheldonsport on the impact of Ronaldo's move to Saudi Arabia and what this will mean for the country's sporting strategy 👇

Reports have suggested PSG's Qatari owners are interested in acquiring a stake in Tottenham Hotspur.

I discussed a potential Qatari investment into the club, the likelihood of a sale & what this would mean for English football w/ @SkySportsNews 👇

(Link to full interview in 🧵)

[Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews]

Head of Qatar Sports Investment Nasser Al-Khelaifi is reportedly interested in a takeover of a Premier League club ⚽📝

Tottenham Hotspur are the latest to be linked with the PSG President however Spurs denied a meeting took place ❌

[Ben Peppi @BenPeppi]

About to appear on @SkySportsNews to discuss the possible Qatari investment into Tottenham Hotspur in the next 10 minutes or so - some interesting points to discuss…

[Ben Peppi @BenPeppi]

There were numerous political and human rights issues leading up to the World Cup this year, but that did not put off brands from aligning themselves with the biggest sporting event on earth.

I analysed this and more for @CNN 👇🏼

[CNN @CNN]

Some brands have addressed the human rights issues surrounding Qatar 2022. https://t.co/WkwAXMySNL

[Ben Peppi @BenPeppi]

@AdamCrafton_ Not sure a consumer brand will purchase either but a few global brands alienation wouldn’t apply to. Same with front of shirt sponsors. Any of FAANG wouldn’t see a drop in bottom line $$, except perhaps in very localised areas which is minuscule % of customer base in grand scheme

[Ben Peppi @BenPeppi]

Chelsea, Liverpool and now Manchester United...

I spoke with @SkySportsNews yesterday evening as the news broke that the Glazer family are looking for investment alternatives, as well as discussing the commercial impact of @Cristiano leaving the club 👇

Even though Budweiser may still have global brand awareness and alcohol sales across hospitality suites and fan festivals, the loss of revenue suffered as a result of no alcohol being sold in and around stadiums will have a tangible impact on a return on investment.

[Ben Peppi @BenPeppi]

This is hugely significant - the World Cup is the largest global sporting event on the planet and one of the most effective international marketing platforms reaching millions of people in over 200 countries throughout the globe.

Quite the decision two days out...

[FIFA Media @fifamedia]

Statement on beer sales at #WorldCup stadiums 🏟️ on behalf of FIFA and Host Country 🇶🇦:

[Ben Peppi @BenPeppi]

Budweiser will be able to take significant legal action as FIFA will have guaranteed the sale of products at stadiums, in addition to the ability to terminate its agreement with FIFA if the defaulting party – in this case FIFA – commits a material breach without remedy
