Supponor, the market leader in virtual advertising, and TGI Sport, a tech-led global sports media agency, are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership in the South American region.
This strategic collaboration will enable Supponor and TGI Sport to combine their expertise and resources to offer tailored cutting-edge virtual advertising services to different sports partners in South America. Leveraging Supponor’s innovative technology, Supponor AIR, and TGI Sport’s extensive media services experience, the partnership seeks to change the way virtual advertising has been delivered in South America.
Supponor and TGI Sport will build a remote operating centre in the territory to ensure seamless and cost-efficient delivery across the region. This will serve as a hub for driving the development of virtual advertising services to meet the evolving needs of South American sports rights holders, advertisers, and broadcasters.
The partnership has been presented and launched at Sportel Buenos Aires, where Supponor and TGI Sport are sharing a co-branded exhibition space. Attendees are invited to visit and learn more about the potential of the sports virtual advertising landscape.
“When it comes to new markets, South America represents a priority for Supponor. We have the ambition to offer our services to all sports rights holders in the region and give them opportunities to further monetize their marketing assets” says Massimo Magrì, Supponor’s Chief Commercial Officer. “The partnership with TGI Sport will expand on the joint market leading capacities and offer a unique combination of complementary services to the market.”
