Cricket advertising

Reach cricket communities where summer sport becomes social life.

Cricket clubs combine players, families, volunteers, supporters and local communities in venues with long dwell and regular summer activity.

Why cricket club media is different

Long summer afternoons, pavilion life and a wider club community.

Cricket creates a different kind of club environment. It brings together players, families, visitors and volunteers across longer fixture days, training nights, junior activity and social events.

For advertisers, that means the setting can offer both active participation and the wider family and community context around it.

The club moment

Sport with time around it.

Cricket club life creates room for a message to appear before, during and after play, rather than only around the moment of competition.

  • Long matchday and weekend dwell
  • Pavilion, bar and outdoor social time
  • Family, junior and volunteer participation

The people in the room

A broad, community led audience with family and social depth.

Cricket clubs are not only about players. They bring together juniors, parents, members, visitors and volunteers around fixtures, training, club events and long summer afternoons.

Active-Social context

Active-Social cricket.

Cricket combines participation across generations with long periods of shared leisure time.

Players, families, juniors, volunteers and older members can spend whole afternoons and evenings together at the ground, making the clubhouse a genuine social environment as well as a sporting one.
