Discuss your U.S. plans
THE ASSIGNMENT
Choose where to start. Know what comes next.
The first assignment is to define the opportunity: which audience matters, where to reach it, what your organization can offer, and which relationships are needed to begin.
SGN works with international brands, clubs, rights holders, and agencies considering a U.S. launch or a more focused expansion. Commission an initial assessment, a market-entry plan, or a defined partnership-development assignment.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
A plan your team can act on.
Market and audience assessment
An evidence-based view of relevant audiences, cities, competitors, and soccer participation or consumption patterns, with assumptions and research gaps identified.
Positioning and partner priorities
A recommended commercial position and a prioritized map of potential partners, including the role each could play and the basis for further evaluation.
Entry plan and working budget
A phased plan covering the initial offer, proposed pilot, resource needs, budget assumptions, responsibilities, and decision points.
Partnership development
Where commissioned, a tailored proposition, outreach materials, and an agreed approach to introductions and follow-up. Contact and participation depend on the prospective partner.
FROM STRATEGY TO A FIRST PROGRAM
Give the plan a practical starting point.
A first program might center on a local club partnership, a participation experience, a client event, or a talent-led campaign. The choice should follow the audience and the business objective.
SGN can carry an agreed plan into campaign or event development, with production, partner commitments, and local delivery support defined separately.
