The ecosystem edge: maximizing stadium naming rights
The practice of selling naming rights for professional sports stadiums has grown into one of the most visible and lucrative sectors of sponsorship marketing. What was once considered a novelty—putting a corporate name on a building—has become a multi-billion-dollar industry with far-reaching implications for teams, municipalities, investors, and brand partners alike. In the NFL alone, naming rights agreements collectively generate well over a billion dollars annually, and new deals continue to climb to unprecedented valuations. Yet the naming rights story is no longer simply about signage, media mentions, or having one’s brand on the skyline. Today, the real value is unlocked when the naming rights contract is designed as part of a fertile ecosystem—a symbiotic environment where the sponsor’s brand, the stadium, the fans, and the surrounding community are actively engaged. The name on the building becomes only one component of a broader, carefully orchestrated strategy.

DACH Region Hotels & Chains Report 2025
The past year has highlighted both the challenges and the resilience of the DACH hospitality sector. Germany and Austria have had to contend with sluggish growth, high energy costs, and persistent inflation, while broader geopolitical uncertainty – from international trade tensions to the ongoing war in Ukraine – continues to weigh on sentiment. Switzerland, by contrast, has remained comparatively stable, supported by strong domestic demand and its position as a high-value global destination. These differing dynamics illustrate the complexity of the region but also underline its importance as one of Europe’s most resilient markets.
