Sports — Sports Business Development & Media

We unlock the media and commercial potential of sport.
Also beyond the major leagues and media rights.

Who we are

Business development.
Efficient and results-driven.

80·20 Sports is a consultancy and media agency specialised in the sports business, focused on sports, competitions and organisations also outside the premium segment. Where smart ideas, innovative concepts and new solutions generate sustainable revenue.

Our core competencies are business development and medialisation: developing new revenue streams, products and sponsorship assets on the one hand – and staging, producing and commercialising sports events on the other. 80·20 Sports is not only a partner for strategy and concept, but also for delivery: from implementation and production through to distribution.

The focus is on the 20 percent of measures that create 80 percent of the impact. No consulting for consulting's sake, but clear priorities, pragmatic execution and measurable impact. Experience and market understanding are the foundation; AI accelerates analysis, concept and delivery. Efficient, cost-conscious and results-driven.

Structure

Development

Impact
In the end it is not the idea that counts, but measurable progress.
Delivery
We don't just advise – we help bring things to market.

The Pareto principle

Why
80·20?

More than a hundred years ago, Vilfredo Pareto identified a pattern that still holds in nearly every market: around 20 percent of causes create 80 percent of the effect. In the sports business this ratio is particularly visible – a few rights, partners or products carry the largest share of revenue.

That is exactly where we start. Instead of working on everything at once, we identify the few levers that make a real commercial difference – and concentrate strategy, resources and execution on them. That saves time, protects budgets and delivers visible results faster.

No consulting for consulting's sake. Clear priorities, pragmatic execution, measurable commercial value – that is our understanding of sports business consulting.
