SINERGI Sports Consulting is proud to announce the third edition of the SAWI course in sports marketing that will start on Tuesday, February 14th, 2017, under the Direction of Nadia Atienza, Marketing & Communications Expert.
This course, lasting over a period of four months and giving access to a SAWI Diploma in Sports Marketing, is aimed to different profiles : on the one hand, Marketing or Communications Managers/Coordinators in a company or organisation and looking at a career move in the sports industry or, in the other hand, professionals active in the sports area willing to get expertise and knowledge in the marketing functions of a sports entity.
The aim is to give a 360° vision to the leaders of tomorrow in the sports marketing field, by preparing them to have a leading function in a professional and practical way.
Nadia Atienza, Marketing & Communications Expert and SAWI Course Director in sports marketing, said : « Over the last twenty years, the sports industry has been having a growing impact on the world economy, investing in public infrastructure, mobilising resources and creating new professions and jobs.
Sports, when seen as a highly emotional and inspirational tool for people at a large scale, seems easy to understand. However sports has its own codes and specificities that professionals interested in working in this area should know.
It is therefore essential to professionalize this field in order to make experts perfectly aware of the specificities of the sports environment. »
