Key funded projects
Sportswomen As Brand Ambassadors
Seedling Funds from the University of Greenwich.
Sports personalities are considered as vehicles for advertisements or product endorsement, and athletes who carry symbolic messages can attract companies seeking effective endorsers. Furthermore, the established brand value of the athlete will help his/her post-athletic career because well-branded athletes can leverage their brand value through their post-athletic career.
The purpose of the research project is to discuss the prospect of female sports personalities from brand endorsement point of view, raising the question whether they can be seen as a human brand with possibilities of earning a significant amount of money from endorsement contracts.
It has to be acknowledged that the media and the brands are for-profit entities and they are more interested in increasing profit; perhaps due to lack of media coverage, the general public may not be as aware of them and, advertisers may not be able to tap into their brands to endorse their products or services. Maybe the brands/advertisers do not consider them commercially viable enough to front their campaign, However, this research will highlight how effort should be made, it possible and justifiable to ensure equal opportunities for both genders regarding endorsement.
