On the occasion of the 5 training days organized from October 15 to 19 at the School of Economics of Tor Vergata University of Rome for the professionals and students of modern communication, Marco Dalla Dea was invited to make a speech during the 17th edition of the module “Communication and Media: Strategies, Platforms, Operations in Sports Industry”.

Following a consolidated relationship, on Tuesday 16 October YAK Agency’s Managing Partner and PR Director taught a lesson for the University Master in Sport Marketing and Management with the title: “Sports Business: building brand awareness in the Chinese market”, aiming to provide participants with useful skills and instruments to elaborate and develop strategies and activities that guarantee a performing and dynamic online presence to brands, consistently with the current marketing and digital communication trends. 

The speech was focused on the concept of brand awareness and on the fact that it is indissolubly connected to the socio-cultural context of the target, all the more so in a “faraway” market like the Chinese one. From the analysis of the facts that determine the brand awareness to the types of advertising campaigns that are used the most to increase brand awareness, the speech was focused on the specific case studies of some top sportswear players like Nike and Adidas and on the best practices of European teams and federations that are approaching the far east markets.
