Charting the money, the moves, and the media across the global business of sport<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n
By James Emmett<\/a><\/h6>\n
\n

 <\/p>\n

Hello everyone, and thanks for clicking through to this latest Leaders Digest, a compendium of bits and pieces put together by me, James Emmett, for you, the esteemed professionals of the sports and media industries, on a week-by-week basis.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n
\n

6 Questions, Answered<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

1.)\u00a0 \u00a0 Are you with me?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019d really like you to be \u2013 from 5th to 8th October<\/a> at least.<\/p>\n

2.)\u00a0 \u00a0 Is there a silver bullet?<\/strong>
\nThe UK\u2019s latest set of restrictions to combat the resurgence of Coronavirus \u2013 including the indefinite postponement of plans to bring spectators back to sports venues and a new ban on indoor team sports participation \u2013 has triggered a wave of consternation across the British sports industry. Collective pressure<\/a> is now being exerted on a government that has been \u2013 to put it generously \u2013 inconsistent with its messaging, both outwardly to the general public, and privately to lobbyists and stakeholders within the sector. There is no silver bullet, but a clear bailout plan and something a bit better than a barely functional test and trace system would go some way to re-smoothing the path to recovery for an industry already doubled over.<\/p>\n

3.)\u00a0 \u00a0 Who says sport and politics don\u2019t mix?<\/strong>
\nNo-one who read the above, and no-one who\u2019ll read the following: more than 300 phone calls<\/a> took place between the White House and Big Ten representatives in the build-up to the college conference\u2019s reversal of its decision to cancel its season last week.<\/p>\n

4.)\u00a0 \u00a0 Any positive news?<\/strong>
\nPlenty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5.)\u00a0 \u00a0 What does good leadership look like in Covid?<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s a question we\u2019ve been putting to leaders across the sports industry of late, and we\u2019re not alone<\/a>. Empathy, communication, good humour, humility, clarity of purpose and a willingness to accept you don\u2019t know are all polling well.<\/p>\n

6.)\u00a0 \u00a0 If there are only two ways to make money in business \u2013 bundling and unbundling \u2013 then which one is trending right now?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nAs ever, Ben Thompson irons this one out for us<\/a> on Stratechery.<\/p>\n

What’s new<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

–\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0ASMR from a golf video \u2013 <\/strong>a new sensation from a new kind of campaign mixing mindfulness and golf<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What’s trending?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0A sudden outpouring of love for this Burger King campaign<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 a neat amplification trick, for sure, and more evidence that sports marketing observers don\u2019t play a lot of video games.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Creative solutions in the media rights market<\/strong> \u2013 Renewal offers are dipping; creativity is rising. The Bundesliga, OneFootball and Sportfive have teamed up to plug a gap in Brazil<\/a>, and the German league might yet have to deploy a similarly innovative approach in MENA, where beIN are putting their money where their mouth is \u2013 and not where their rights holder partners are \u2013 by dropping or at least opting not to renew with properties they deem not to have fought hard enough against piracy.<\/p>\n
