Nick Keller, chairman, Sport Industry Group, commented: “The tech revolution continues to march on and sport is benefiting from a proliferation of diverse new start ups, brands and organisations joining the business landscape, bringing with it a swathe of new businesses and talent who recognise that sport has a big part to play.

“This is represented across a number of categories in this year’s Shortlist, no more so than in our newest category, Young Agency of the Year. These young agencies prove there is depth and breadth to the industry, as they enter the landscape with bold new ideas and refreshing innovations.”

The Official Shortlist was selected through an extensive Steering Process -involving more than 60 key industry figures across two weeks of intensive judging, and will now go forward for consideration by the main Judging Panel, who will decide the winners in each category.
