Sports & Entertainment Agency

We connect sport’s
biggest names with the
brands that fit.

In/Play Media works with sports and entertainment publishers — media sites, livescore platforms and podcast networks — and represents clubs and athletes directly. We connect all of them with brand and iGaming advertisers looking for premium, brand-safe reach.

Who we are

One agency for publishers, clubs, athletes and brands.

We represent sports and entertainment publishers — media sites, livescore platforms and podcast networks — alongside clubs and individual athletes. On the other side, we work with brand advertisers and iGaming operators looking for premium, brand-safe reach. In/Play Media sits in the middle, structuring and managing every partnership end to end.

What we do

Three sides of the same market, one agency in the middle.

We represent supply — publishers, clubs and athletes — and connect it with demand: classic brand advertisers and iGaming operators alike. Every partnership is structured, delivered and managed end to end.

Publishers

Media, livescore & podcast platforms

We build and commercially manage ad inventory across news sites, livescore products and podcast networks — sponsorships, display, native and audio formats that fit the editorial.

Clubs & Athletes

Representation & brand partnerships

We represent clubs and individual athletes commercially, sourcing and structuring sponsorship and endorsement deals with brands that fit their profile and audience.

Brand & Non-Endemic

Classic sponsorship & media formats

Display, native and sponsorship placements, content partnerships and athlete or club endorsements for consumer brands — automotive, tech, finance, travel and beyond.

How we deliver it
01

Direct relationships

Negotiated partnerships with brand advertisers, iGaming operators, and the publishers, clubs and athletes we represent — no middlemen on either side.

02

Full-service delivery

Creative, deal structuring, ad-ops and content production — handled end to end, whatever the format.

03

Compliance & brand safety

Responsible-gambling messaging where required, jurisdiction-aware eligibility, and brand-safe standards across every partnership.

04

No upfront cost

We're paid from the value we generate — a fixed fee or commission, never a barrier to getting started.

How a partnership comes together

From first conversation to live partnership, in four steps.

The same process, whether we're placing ad inventory, structuring a sponsorship, or representing an athlete.

01
Discovery
We map your audience, roster or inventory and agree the shape of the partnership — what fits, and what doesn't.
02
Commercials
A straightforward fee or commission structure, agreed up front — never unpredictable, never billed per click.
03
Activation
Creative, contracts and integration handled end to end — on your side, the brand's, or both.
04
Launch & manage
Live within weeks, actively managed, and easy to adjust if something needs to change.
Our commitment

Built to fit around what you already have.

Five ground rules we hold ourselves to, whether we're working with a publisher, a club or an athlete.

Nothing existing gets disrupted
Every partnership is new, incremental value — never a replacement of a deal or relationship you already have.
No exclusivity lock-in
Your other sponsorships, media deals and commercial relationships continue to run exactly as they do today.
Flexible by design
Any partnership can be adjusted or wound down quickly if it isn't working for either side.
Compliance handled end-to-end
Responsible-gambling messaging where relevant, brand-safe standards, and jurisdiction-aware checks throughout.
No upfront cost
In/Play Media funds the work involved; we're paid from the value we generate.
