Sports marketing

The dynamic performance and enterprising spirit of NEXEN TIRE in its powerful race toward the world are just like dynamic sports, from thrilling winter sports competitions to speedy racing. Here are various sports marketing events that will continue to be in partnership with NEXEN TIRE in 2017.

First, four winter sports events

To promote brand awareness through sports marketing, NEXEN TIRE has been sponsoring four winter sports events since the end of 2016, such as Speed Skating World Cup and Championships, Snowboard/Ski Big Air World Cup, Bobsleigh/Skeleton World Cup and Championships, and Ski Jumping World Cup.
The company has been given the right to use the competition titles and logos as the official sponsor of each competition and expose the brand via diverse channels, such as stadium branding, video images in the stadium, uniforms of actual players, banners, backboards, etc. NEXEN TIRE also held on-site promotional events and a program for inviting major clients, allowing more fans to naturally encounter NEXEN TIRE while enjoying the winter sports.
By sponsoring these four events, NEXEN TIRE is reinforcing its status and enhancing its brand image all over the world – not only Korea but also Europe, North America, Asia, etc.



Second, English Premier League-MANCITY

NEXEN TIRE entered into an agreement for a ‘uniform branding’ sponsorship with Manchester City FC, and now the company’s logo will be exposed on the sleeves of the players’ uniforms for the first time in the English Premier League.
As NEXEN TIRE’s logo will grace the uniforms in the 2017-2018 season that kicks off in August, its brand awareness will surely be enhanced among global viewers throughout all EPL and British cup events in which ManCity participates.
Moreover, the company has broadened the scope of sponsorship beyond merely PR and marketing activities such as advertising at the home stadium or obtaining the rights to use the team’s image. Now NEXEN TIRE will also sponsor Manchester City Women’s Football Club, which recently became FA Super League champions and won the League Cup.
Having implemented various marketing platforms in the last few years to reinforce its branding, NEXEN TIRE plans to expand its exposure to the global market and enhance its brand value by expanding the scope of its official sponsorship of Manchester City FC.



Third, KBO-NEXEN Heroes

NEXEN TIRE has maintained its main sponsorship of NEXEN Heroes in the KBO League for 8 years. Keeping pace with NEXEN TIRE, NEXEN Heroes has now secured its place as one of the major teams of KBO, through which NEXEN TIRE could also appeal to consumers as a more familiar and friendly brand.
After its incredible performance in the postseason for four consecutive years from the 2013 season to the 2016 season, NEXEN Heroes finally settled in Korea’s first dome stadium, Gocheok Sky Dome, allowing fans to enjoy the games without concern about weather.
This season, NEXEN Heroes have stirred up some excitement by recruiting a new manager and some new players! Get ready to experience the energy of NEXEN Heroes with NEXEN TIRE in the 2017 season!
