 Why Sponsor the Portsmouth Dreadnoughts? - - - -   Brand Awareness   We constantly have to promote ourselves to recruit new players and find new supporters, and will in turn promote your brand in the local area.  Our Demographic   Our Adult and Women’s players are in the 18-35 age bracket with disposable income. People in this age range typically tune out traditional advertising, but by sponsoring us you can reach those in our team, and their friends, as they will share our content to them.  Engaged Supporters   American Football is a niche market with passionate support, this can give you an amplified message to this audience due to fewer sponsors in American Football than other sports in the UK.  Social Responsibility   You have an opportunity to build goodwill with local community by supporting us financially. We are active in the community and have an annual Charity Day at one of our home games to raise money for good causes.  Online Content   American Football is a bright, colourful sport that makes for great, eye catching social media content to liven up your pages.  American Football is Growing Fast  According to StubHub, demand for the London games is up an incredible 333 per cent in five years, and 40 per cent on last season, despite there being one fewer game. The NFL is no longer arriving in the UK, it’s already here—and it continues to grow exponentially. By sponsoring us now, you will be in a prime position to take advantage of this growth in supporters.
