Athlete and sponsorship activation

Sport sponsorship and athlete activation campaigns give brands the opportunity to engage and connect with new audiences, and ultimately drive reach and exposure. With the right approach, the ROI for brands can be huge.

Our experience includes working on integrated campaigns with high-profile athletes across a range of sports, including football, rugby, and sailing. We’ve activated  campaigns with England football captain Harry Kane and leading golf apparel brand Reflo, Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne and Therabody, Liverpool defender Trent Alexander Arnold and Red Bull, Alex Thomson Racing, and HUGO BOSS.

Sponsorship activation is crucial in helping to take your brand to the next level. We will work with you to refine your strategy to ensure you’re engaging with the right audience.

Community and foundation

With a well-thought-out PR strategy and thought-provoking, creative content, you can  help transform, inspire, and engage wider communities.

Having worked with mass participation events like The Royal Parks Half Marathon and the Adidas Manchester Marathon, we have shared the stories of countless inspiring runners that have driven donations. Elsewhere we have worked with professional leagues and rights holders across football, basketball, rugby and cricket to inspire the next generation through raising awareness of their work in local communities. 

We find innovative ways to share your stories which galvanise support, drive donations and raise awareness of your charity in the media channels that matter most.

“I’ve worked with The PHA Group on many stories and live interviews with their clients. I’ve always found working with PHA to be a pleasure – Tom and his team are extremely knowledgeable and professional and clearly passionate about their clients. It’s also notable how well they understand the media landscape and understand the best way to work with people on my side of the fence – it makes working on stories easy and successful – and delivers a better outcome for both sides. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough
