UK betting exchange Smarkets has expanded its partnership with the marketing brand Strive Sponsorship. The latter agreed to power Smarkets’ websites with daily sports content.
Strive to Power Smarkets with Content
As per the deal, Strive Sponsorship will provide content, podcasts and editing services to Smarkets News and SBK Betting Zone. Thanks to Strive’s talented writing team, Smarkets’ sites will receive coverage of nine of the most popular sports. This includes the National Football League, the National Basketball League, soccer, rugby and golf, among others. Content will include articles, opinion pieces, betting tips, podcasts and more.
This agreement builds on Smarkets and Strive Sponsorship’s existing deal. The two companies have worked together for four years now, which has seen Strive take care of Smarkets’ social media by providing it with engaging sports content and services.
Strive Is Ready to Boost Smarkets’ Sites
Malph Minns, the managing director of Strive Sponsorship, spoke about the deal. He explained that the highly competitive global gambling industry makes it increasingly important to engage customers. Through Strive’s premium content, companies can attract and retain customers.
Additionally, Minns said that his team feels honored to be entrusted with developing longer-form content for Smarkets News and SBK Betting Zone. He noted that this attests to the supreme quality of Strive Sponsorship’s services.
Therefore, to be entrusted with developing longer-form content for both the Smarkets exchange and SBK sportsbook app is testament to the high quality and versatile team we have and our ability to deliver specialist content agency services.
