Power Play T20
Unlocking The Value Of Women's Sport Sponsorship

Women’s sport is a rapidly maturing sponsorship sector that is rewriting the rules of partnership value. The Lionesses have sold out Wembley. The Hundred drew millions to women’s cricket who had never watched the sport before. Brands that moved early – Barclays in football, Vodafone in cricket – are now sitting on assets that have appreciated faster than almost anything else in the sponsorship market. Is it time your brand explored the opportunities in women’s sport?

Women’s sport delivers something increasingly rare: an audience that is genuinely engaged, skewing younger, and not yet fatigued by brand saturation. Research shows that fans of women’s sport are more receptive to sponsors than their male-sport equivalents, and more likely to act on it. For brands trying to build real cultural relevance rather than just reach, this is not a niche play. It is a strategic one.

At ‘Power Play’, we will put that thesis to the test in the best possible setting: you will spend the evening in a private box at The Kia Oval as the T20 Women’s semi-finals unfold in front of you, with exceptional speakers Tammy Parlour MBE (CEO and Co-founder of The Women’s Sports Trust) and Danielle Lee (Director Brand and Marketing, Metro Bank UK). They will be unpacking what good looks like, where the value actually sits, and how to build a sponsorship position that lasts. World-class cricket, a three course dinner and a candid table conversation with some of the UK’s leading marketing minds. Join us.

With our spirit of openness, shared learning and support, and our ‘sales-free’ environment, this dinner is open to all senior-level marketers with the desire to learn more about sports sponsorship for their brand – but capped at 20 seats. You’ll leave inspired, informed and with valuable new industry connections.

Guest Speakers

Tammy Parlour MBE
CEO and Co-Founder
The Women's Sports Trust

Tammy Parlour MBE co-founded the Women’s Sport Trust in 2012, in the wake of the London Olympics, and has led it ever since as CEO. The Trust is a leading UK charity using the power of sport to accelerate gender equality and stimulate social change, and Tammy has spent more than a decade working across sport, media and business to make women’s sport visible, commercially viable, and valued in its own right. Named by the Telegraph as one of the 20 most influential women in British sport, she appeared in the BBC Woman’s Hour Power List in 2023 and was awarded her MBE in the 2019 New Year Honours for services to gender equality in sport.

Few people have thought more rigorously about what it actually takes to grow women’s sport at scale. Beyond the Trust, Tammy serves as board director and Chair of AFC Wimbledon Women and sits on The FA Women’s National League Board, bringing governance experience to match her strategic convictions. With the T20 Women’s competition in full swing, there is no better moment to hear from someone who has spent years moving the conversation from aspiration to commercial reality.

Danielle Lee is Director of Brand & Marketing at Metro Bank, where she has been shaping the bank’s brand identity and driving marketing strategy since 2022. With over two decades of experience across the UK and Australia, she has transformed marketing functions for both established household brands and challenger businesses, bringing a rare combination of creative instinct and commercial rigour to everything she does. Her background spans Virgin Media and Barclays before landing at Metro Bank, where she has built a reputation as a marketer who thinks in systems, not just campaigns.

What makes Danielle a particularly compelling voice for this dinner is the decision she helped lead to make Metro Bank the ECB’s inaugural Champion Partner of Women’s and Girls’ Cricket, placing grassroots participation at the centre of the sponsorship strategy rather than pure elite visibility. At the heart of the partnership is the Metro Bank Girls in Cricket Fund, designed to increase opportunities for women and girls at every level of the game. With the T20 Women’s competition as our backdrop, she brings first-hand experience of what genuine commitment to women’s sport looks like — and what it takes to make the business case stick.
