The Sports Consultancy Extends Rights Marketing Offer With Senior Appointment

The Sports Consultancy is bolstering its commercial services offering with a significant investment into its rights marketing business to be spearheaded by one of the industry’s most experienced professionals, Marc Hope.

Hope has spent the last four years with Sports Marketing and Management, where he was working with the Organising Committee of Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games playing a pivotal role in the successful achievement of almost 50 sponsors across three tiers.  Prior to that, Marc spent a decade with Fast Track where he led the rights marketing team with great success over a range of Olympic sports and major international events staged in the UK, headed by UK Athletics. Marc also brought in the multi year title sponsorship deals for the London Youth Games (LYG), and continues his involvement with the organisation as Vice Chairman. Marc also served as a non-exec board director of GB Taekwondo during their London Olympic cycle 2010-2013, which saw the sport achieve Olympic gold.

 Marc will work with co-founders Angus Buchanan and Robert Datnow to develop the rights marketing practice with further appointments of senior brand consultants and rights sales specialists to build on The Sports Consultancy’s consultative and insight led sales approach to follow.
