Between Spikes and F1
Spikes Asia is the region’s largest festival of creativity featuring thousands of advertisers and
agencies in Singapore at the start of the F1 week and is organised by Haymarket Media who
also publish F1 Magazine and 4-4-2.
Sports Matters Asia will exploit this convergence of buyers at each end of the week providing
a perfect platform to be able to deliver both broadcasters and sponsors to the event whilst
also capitalising on the gloss of the F1 itself.
The F1 generates global interest in Singapore. The F1 roadshow delivers broadcasters,
teams/drivers and sponsors.

The content strategy for Sports Matters has been developed with the participation of the Advisory Board.
The focus is ASIA. Research tells us that Sports Matters should focus on what the future of the industry will look like,
who and what is driving it and how this region contributes to the global sports industry. There are key pillars of the global
sports industry and Sports Matters will address each of these with an Asia-centric programme and speaker profile.
1. Content & Broadcast/Media
2. Sponsorship - Generating new revenues with new media
3. Social & Digital Futures - Maximising revenue through social and digital platforms
4. Federations & Associations - Rights, partnerships and regional events
5. Fan engagement
6. Venues - Sport as entertainment
7. Technology - Enhancing event production AND sports performance
8. Education - Training sports people and training the trainers
In it's inaugural year the programme will attempt to make the industry sit up and listen. Like Digital & Music Matters,
there will be ideas exchange and networking opportunities, an element of controversy and above all, great
entertainment.
Over the course of our 3 year programming strategy, we plan to launch a new industry association made up of Asian
sports industry personnel which will act as the platform from which to provide internships, launch scholarships and
nurture excellence within the region.
