From the Founder

Built on relationships,
not just inventory

Sport has always been one of the most powerful ways for brands to build trust, emotion and long-term affinity. The opportunity to raise the bar in how those partnerships are sourced, structured and delivered has never been greater.

I founded Media Agency Group over 25 years ago with a simple belief: that brands deserved better — better access, better rates, and partners who had the relationships to make things happen at the highest level.

From our roots in the UK, MAG has grown into a genuinely global operation — with offices in London, Manchester, New York, Dubai and Singapore. World Sports Advertising sits at the heart of that network, purpose-built to connect brands with the world's biggest sports properties across sponsorship, naming rights, live events, rights activation and fan engagement.

We've spent two decades building the relationships that make these deals happen — across the FIFA World Cup, Formula 1, the Premier League, combat sports and major regional properties throughout the Middle East, Europe and North America. That network doesn't get built overnight, and it's what sets us apart.

What we bring to every conversation isn't just inventory — it's 25 years of trust, access and delivery, backed by a global media group with the scale to execute across multiple markets simultaneously. We move the conversation beyond logo exposure and into commercial impact. That's what WSA was built to do.

Success Stories

Partnerships we've brokered

Real activations, real rights holders, real results — a snapshot of how WSA turns ambition into a place at the heart of world sport.

Tennis · OOH

Pepperstone & the ATP Tour

Global Out-of-Home for a naming-rights partner

Pepperstone became the official naming partner of the ATP Rankings. WSA ran a global OOH campaign to turn that digital sponsorship into real-world presence — airports, business districts and host cities including London, Dubai, Paris and New York.

WSA's role: targeted media strategy reaching affluent professionals and investors, boosting global trading-brand positioning.
Combat · Crypto

APU Token × BKFC

"The McGregor Effect" — a viral activation

A ringside Instagram shout-out from Conor McGregor sent APU viral across crypto, sports and mainstream media. Branding lived on the ring canvas, corner pads and BKFC's digital channels through fight week.

WSA's role: secured the BKFC partnership, managed negotiations and integrations, and amplified the momentum across every platform.
Table Tennis · Crypto

Floki × World Table Tennis

Official crypto token partner, WTT Champions Incheon

Floki sponsored the 2024 WTT Champions Incheon event in South Korea — visibility via LED boards, table decals and venue signage, with strong exposure across Asia and global broadcast.

WSA's role: secured and managed the deal end-to-end, ensuring creative control, brand safety and campaign alignment.
Football · Sponsorship

AYS Developers × Argentine FA

A strategic global sponsorship

AYS Developers' partnership with the AFA blends architecture and sport — uniting excellence and community impact through global football, with direct access to millions of fans in South America and beyond.

WSA's role: holistic sponsorship value across advertising, VIP events and merchandise, engineered for engagement well beyond 2026.
Premier League · Crypto

Floki × Nottingham Forest

A first-ever Premier League crypto partnership

In August 2024, Floki became the official cryptocurrency partner of Nottingham Forest FC — the club's first-ever Premier League crypto collaboration, brokered by WSA. The deal leveraged the Premier League's vast audience of 3.2 billion annual viewers across 212 territories, giving Floki unmatched international exposure far beyond native crypto audiences, while Forest's heritage lent the brand instant credibility with younger fans.

WSA's role: brokered the partnership and integrated the brand into emotional matchday moments — contextual placement that built trust inside an established football experience.
