Our Partnership
Sportsbeat is an award-winning agency that’s part of the DNA of British sport. Since 2012, Sportsbeat, in partnership with SportsAid, has played a key role in telling the stories of talented young athletes through local, regional and national newspapers, leading broadcast outlets and various online platforms.
Over the years, the agency has joined forces with several of the charity’s commercial partners to help raise the profile of the next generation of British sports stars and convey their outstanding achievements to a wider audience. For the vast majority of SportsAid athletes, the interviews conducted by Sportsbeat are often the very first time they have sat down with a journalist.
Sportsbeat also delivers training to these up-and-coming prospects on how best to embrace the media and express their sporting journey, the challenges they face and their long-term ambitions. The sessions see the athletes gaining an insight into the press commitments they can expect at major competitions in the future, and how they can most effectively interact through social media.
This experience is invaluable for the athletes as it allows them a safe space in which to better understand the opportunities presented to them by the media. Sportsbeat covers the biggest events in world sport and the team regularly crosses paths with SportsAid alumni, including numerous beneficiaries of their workshop content, in the mixed zone many years on from the charity’s support.
