Brands To Watch

Your weekly list of Brands primed for future sponsorship activity, based on recent activity and changes to the competitive landscape.

Why: Australian home-and-garden brand VICTA entered sponsorship this week with Wests Tigers NRLW kit assets on a three-year deal.

Context: The three-year partnership on a major apparel asset demonstrates a commitment to sponsorship, potentially in response to activity from Greenworks (Sharks, Bulldogs and Stars in last 12 months)

So what: A summer partnership with a prominent asset in another state would help round out VICTA’s presence nationally and year-round.
