Bayer 04 Leverkusen and SPORTFIVE renew partnership

Bayer 04 Leverkusen will continue to rely on SPORTFIVE's marketing expertise in the coming years. The Bundesliga club and the sports marketing agency are extending their long-term cooperation until June 30, 2029.

SPORTFIVE will continue to support the club locally in all marketing matters, such as sponsor acquisition, the expansion of partnerships and the marketing of the hospitality areas in the BayArena. In addition to the existing contract, the agency will also take over responsibility for the Key Account / Partner Management area from 01 July 2023. In the future, this will be the responsibility of a new unit led by SPORTFIVE and will be combined on-site with SPORTFIVE's existing Bayer04 sales team under the leadership of team lead Jan Reif.

"Last season was the most commercially successful for Bayer 04 in terms of marketing, and we were able to close it with a record result thanks to SPORTFIVE's good work," emphasized Fernando Carro, Chairman of the Bayer 04 Management Board. "But it was not only the marketing result that convinced us. With the adjusted concept and optimized structures in sales and partner management, we can continue to drive forward one of our core goals - growth as a club and brand - and leverage additional potential."
