As a challenger consultancy we are naturally competitive, and all of the team participate in a variety of sports at different levels, so it plays a big part in our lives!

We know that sport and business can go perfectly hand in hand, especially at the professional level where the lines are blurred between both. Examples we love which perfectly demonstrate applying disrupterprise® to an industry is of the Red Bull F1 team and the English Premier League; their disruptive strategies, Red Bull as a new participant and the Premier League reinventing itself, have brought unprecedented success. We’d love to tell you more in person! 

These are but two examples which serve as a useful learning tool for those engaged in professional sport such as teams and clubs, individual athletes, governing bodies, suppliers, and sponsors, amongst others.

At Allan Panthera we provide elite consultancy to all involved in professional sport who desire to maximise commercial opportunities: this may include bringing a new technology or service to a chosen sport; finding and negotiating strategic sponsorship aligned to your brand; the development of a commercial sales and marketing strategy to increase revenues and/or participation; or breaking into new markets further afield.

Additionally, we can act as a trusted agent for those seeking representation and support to manage their affairs. In particular, we’re passionate about supporting young athletes and parents when dealing with professional clubs staff: it can be a daunting prospect faced with legal contracts and a professional club, we’ll be by your side to make sure you’re not taken advantage of and are represented in negotiations: we want to ensure you receive the best commercial terms for your rising star.

“We were attracted to work with them by their USPs and global reach, but most importantly for us they aligned with our elite brand image and provided important insight from our target audience regarding our proposed sponsorship of a prestigious sporting event. Working with them too on our extensive business growth strategy was a dream, we wouldn’t go anywhere else now.
