empowering growth
Seven.One Sports unleashes sustainable growth for our portfolio companies, our own sports-products and for sports-affine advertisers. As a 100%-subsidiary of the Seven.One Entertainment Group we rely on the entire ProSiebenSat.1 network and a unique 360°-marketing approach. In addition, our portfolio companies are supported by our strong operational expertise. Thereby, we focus on innovative, sports-related business segments.
Seven.One Sports develops and maintains a high-growth and digital investment portfolio through its segment “Digital Sports”. Linking our online offerings and leveraging our TV-coverage, we are able to realize deep synergies. As investor, incubator and operator we are focusing on game-changers disrupting the sports industry and empower both start-ups and established companies to achieve sustainable growth.
Seven.One Sports owns and operates an exclusive collection of sports products. Next to operating an attractive portfolio of sports rights, we produce events and entire event series for major sports like Soccer, Boxing, American Football, Tennis and Volleyball – which we distribute both via our Free-TV and digital channels.
In addition to the commercialization of our own sports products, Seven.One Sports also acts as a marketer for numerous exciting external sports publishers. The result is a comprehensive and unique offer for advertisers in the emotional environment of sport.
Via our segment “Sports Events” we provide a full-service offering covering the professional organization and monetization of sports events. This includes the entire handling through our event manager MMP, support in acquiring marketing partners and the commercialization through our high-coverage media.
