The Value Xchange has been appointed by rights holder SweetSpot as the exclusive agency to sell the TV broadcast sponsorship rights for the Tour of Britain, Women’s Tour, and the Tour Series in the UK.
The Value Xchange will be responsible for securing sponsorship of the UK television broadcast coverage of the events.
SweetSpot’s 2023 event calendar begins in May with the Tour Series city centre races, followed by the Women’s Tour (June 6-11), and culminating with the Tour of Britain (September 3-10). The Value Xchange will also be supporting SweetSpot to secure event sponsors for these events, on a non-exclusive basis.
The broadcast inventory available for sponsorship currently amounts to over 65 hours of free-to-air coverage on ITV4, comprising highlights of the Tour of Britain, Women’s Tour, and Tour Series, as well as live flag-to-flag coverage of the Tour of Britain.
SweetSpot Commercial Director, Miles Rose, said “We are delighted to be working with The Value Xchange team on the summer of broadcast assets SweetSpot possess on ITV4 alongside our cycling events.
“We are looking forward to discussing opportunities with brands to position themselves at the heart of our fans’ experiences either at home following the action on TV or mobile, or at the roadside supporting the events.”
The Value Xchange’s Co-Owner, Jamie Wilson, said “It’s exciting to be working with the SweetSpot team to secure broadcast and event sponsors for the 2023 series of events. The extensive broadcast coverage gives brands a great way to secure exposure in premium sports content and associate with the sport of cycling.”
