• Viral Marketing – Authenticity is important

• Emotional Marketing – It is key to transmit information in a positive way

- for both sides: particpants and the sponsors/partners

• Example: online pop-ups (advertising, spam) on an internet page while you

read an article versus hindersome advertising along the course while the

crowd is cheering

EFFECTIVE MARKETINGINFLUENCER MARKETING

• Influencers already play a major role in helping form opinions

– for everyone

• By using the networks of influencers, one can greatly increase the marketing

reach of a brand or a company in a short time

40

EFFECTIVE MARKETINGADVANTAGES OF INFLUENCER MARKETING

Advantages:

• Cost-effective advertising options

• Transfer of marketing messages through a level of trust

• Great effect through multipliers

• Better networking by taking advantage of the influencers‘ followers

• Increased reach of the marketing efforts

41

EFFECTIVE MARKETINGCUSTOMER MONITORING

• The BMW BERLIN MARATHON has a new motto for the runners every year

(2018= #berlin42)

• Every marathon in the AWMM still has its own unique profile

(e.g. Berlin:“flat, fast, unforgettable“)

• This unique profile is essensial for

customer retention and

successful marketing

42


• Databanks are essential not only as an administrative tool, but also to gain

information about the participants

• In addition, solid and continuous market research is necessary

• The goal is to have frequent contact with the customers, before, during

and after the event (from A-Z)

• Examples: Newsletters, prize drawings/competitions, campaigns,

websites, social media, app, charity

43


• Every year, a detailed survey is conducted among the participants and

spectators

• The goal is to steadily increase the reach of the brand

• There are benefits from the global effects and from the cooperation

within the AWMM

• There is already clear interaction between the measures taken by the

individual 6 marathons and the measures taken by the AWMM as an

association

44


• Berlin has by far the highest number of participants from abroad

• The smartphone app is now being utilized by every second visitor, and

more frequently by foreign visitors

• The social media buzz about the BERLIN MARATHON has almost tripled

compared to the previous year

• This strong growth is mainly due to Instagram posts

• Quota of women

participants slightly

increases

• The shorter the courses,

the more women do take

part

• After experiencing two decades of increasing numbers of finishers, in 2013

a peak was reached on the US market

(overall)

• In 2015, there was a decrease of 9% in the number of finishers

(Source: USA research running group, Sports one source )

RUNNING MARKET 3.0

48

• More than ever, well-established marathon events have experienced a

drastic reduction of finishers or stagnation for years

• More than ever, marathons like Abbott World Marathon Majors, but also the

Paris Marathon, are still in high demand, and when possible from an

organisational standpoint, increase their numbers of finishers

• Marathon as the „supreme discipline“ should be highlighted as such,

also from the marketing point of view

"I don't run 5Ks because I'm a runner. I run 5Ks because I like to be fit. "

"The fun-running space is going througha little bit of an identity crisis,"

„HUNGER FOR VARIETY“ -MULTISPORTS VS. TRADITIONAL RUNNERS

51

• The participants‘ demands are changing

• Running market is dwindling and becoming harder to monitor

• More and more “players“ in the game: independent running communities,

employers, sporting goods companies, gyms, etc. provide services and offers

• What role do clubs and associations play now and in the future?

• The running scene is creating more and more networks of information

(newspapers, online), health, fitness

• The focus is changing from a “race for a personal best“ to an “active lifestyle“

53

• The entertainment-factor is playing an increasing role

• This requires a new approach

• Berlin is offering participants and spectators more experiences outside of the

race itself:

Expo, merchandising, child care, professional warm-up at the start, monitors

throughout the entire pre-start and starting area, starting block entertainment

with several moderators and fan TV

• 3 large marathon races in the top 50 in the world: Hamburg, Frankfurt a.M., Berlin

• Marathon events are subject to the temporary implementation of more difficult

conditions and prerequisites than indoor events (including stadiums), which must

heed the general regulations for large gatherings

• The requirements presented by local administrations are becoming increasingly

greater (and even within Germany the requirements differ)

CONSEQUENCES FOR THE RUNNING MARKETORGANISATION OF RUNNING EVENTS

59

• The form of organisation of events will change in the future

Specialisation and implementation of multiple areas of expertise

• Marketing: “Everyone is cooking his own little soup“ (A German phrase)

• Drastic changes in the world political situation

• Internationally, hardly anyone (only Berlin) puts on a “pure“ marathon

Tendency to include other distances in addition to the marathon


60

• In the future, regulations (especially regarding safely and liability) will increase

nationwide in conjunction with the size of the event

• The danger of an event having to be cancelled entirely or in part will increase =

added costs

• There is a great responsibility for event organisers to support young talents and

top athletes from the national pool

61


• Young talents from the national pool are currently being neglected, but it is a big

reason that events are attractive to sponsors, spectators, media and reporting –

a “norm discussion“ is counterproductive

• “Myth of the Marathon“: It is an obligation of event organisers to further the

development of the idea that the marathon is the king of popular running sports

62


• The Asian market is just forming, and there is more potential for expansion and

growth there

• International elite sports

• Marketing and financing will become increasingly more difficult

GOAL: events should be able to pay for themselves through the participant

fees, the sponsor money should be “on top“

• Running series/partnerships = create and profit from synergies

• Asian marathon league, IAAF marathon league and more running series are

counterproductive as they dilute the market

• New AWMM age group ranking installed starting in 2018

• Within the AWMM series, participants in the mass races can now earn points

throughout the year

• Within each appropriate age group, points are collected for every run;

the age-group winners are determined after the last run of the series

• This creates another incentive to be part of the AWMM family

RUNNING MARKET 3.0AWMM AGE GROUP RANKING

65

• The percentage of women participants is growing

• Lists of best times no longer play a role

• Multisports will become a key element over the next few years of sporting

events

OUTLOOK AND CONCLUSION

66

• There is a tendency for people to now avoid large events

• Consequence: only safe events will be successful in the long run

• What we have learned from the Abbott WMM: It is good for top athletes,

amateurs, sponsors and spectators when elite sport and sport for the general

public are combined

• In the future, it will be essential for a successful event to have:

1. International top athletes

2. A “national colour“

3. An interesting, moving, and well-told story relating to the race
