After 15 years of dedication in sports marketing, Hisense also developed its own particular approach in terms of football sponsorship. Besides the international quadrennial football tournaments, Hisense also adopts a region-specific sponsorship scheme to generate feedback from respective markets. In Europe, for example, Hisense became the official sponsor of Paris Saint-Germain FC and has inked a two-year extended partnership with Leeds United in the Premier League. Millions of fans and ultra-high traffic brought by these sporting events will translate into immeasurable potential in brand reputation and thus propel Hisense to enter the next stage of internationalization.
FIFA’s Fruitful Partnership with Hisense
In April 2017, Hisense entered into its first cooperation with FIFA and in the next five years, this partnership has evolved into a consolidating and mutual-beneficial one: For one thing, FIFA has invited Hisense to carry out in-depth technological upgrading of its live broadcasting technology and display products. For another, Hisense also launched customized products for FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM, which applies technologies such as Movement Compensation (MEMC), Sports Mode, and Player Recognition to greatly enhance the viewing experience for consumers, and records a remarkable performance in terms of their product sales and global reach.
Sports marketing is and will continue to be an effective means to achieve Hisense’s long-term developmental goals.
