A list of the Top 20 Most Attractive Sponsors according to professionals who already work or wish to work in sport has been revealed by iWorkinSport.
The preferred companies fall into diverse sponsorship categories, such as automakers, soft drinks, beer, airlines, video games, credit cards, watch makers, technology, banking and more.
iWorkinSport founder and CEO, Joao Frigerio, commented: “Our research didn’t show any particular sector dominating that space – the common trait among them is that they are all globally known brands. One thing that caught our attention, however, was the absence of betting companies in the list”.
The study conducted by the Switzerland-based company surveyed more than a thousand people from all continents, with the majority already working in sport, and asked them a simple question: “If you could choose to work anywhere in sport, where would that be?”
At first, the respondents chose organisations divided into nine categories, and at the end, they indicated one single preferred choice, overall – the “Employer of their Dreams”.
In the Sponsors category, the 20 most voted brands were, in alphabetical order:
Audi
Barclays
Budweiser
Coca-Cola
EA
Emirates
Gatorade
GE
Heineken
Jeep
Mastercard
Mercedes-Benz
Microsoft
PS5 (Sony)
Qatar Airways
Red Bull
Rolex
Samsung
Tag Heuer
Visa
