On the ball with rugby sponsorship

Marketing agency Balls2 Marketing has shown its backing for a local rugby club by agreeing to sponsor the shirts of its under-11s team.

The firm has made its first foray into kit sponsorship with its backing of the team at Derby Rugby Football Club.

Sarah Ball, joint managing director at Balls2, said: “We love the way our logo really stands out on the back of the shorts, and it’s on the team’s hoodies as well.

“It’s our first ‘try’ at corporate sponsorship, and we are very happy to have our brand associated with the team and club.

“DRFC has a well-earned reputation as one of the most accessible and inclusive clubs in the region.

“Sponsoring the kit is a win-win as it helps the team with their kit costs and gets Balls2 Marketing involved at a grass roots level in our home city.”
