Women’s elite sports have spent decades building their visibility… and now they have it.
Audiences are growing. Investment is increasing. Sponsors are paying attention. Women’s sport is becoming a significant commercial and cultural force in its own right.
But visibility comes with a new set of challenges.
What happens when the spotlight arrives before the infrastructure needed to support it?
I can’t help but consider this current debate from a communications, PR and broader strategic perspective, particularly in light of some of the difficult conversations currently playing out across women’s sport.
So I wrote a thing about it. Actually… I wrote several things about it, with more to come. It’s such a complex and interesting topic, I’ve been busily nerding out on it all week!
Jump over to my website (link in bio) and head to my blog to read The Visibility Paradox.
I’d love to hear how others working or involved in sport, media, marketing and communications are thinking about this shift.
