Sports jobs at Dentsu Sports International

People think of fandom as a destination. Either you arrive or you don’t. But we believe fandom is a journey. Unending. A journey of evolution, connection and uncovering. A journey of pride, rage, humanity and hope. The journey hasbecome tougher to navigate, and the way fans engage with teams, leagues and sponsors alike is more demanding than ever. And the world of sports and entertainment has fallen behind.

That’s why we at Dentsu Sports International focus on moving at the speed of fans – to ensure our clients aren’t left behind, swiped past or easily forgotten.

We connect brands and properties to fans of sport. Part of dentsu – who have championed meaningful progress for over 120 years – we at dentsu sports international are a gateway for our clients, linking the world of sports and its fans from East to West and West to East.

Culture

We are an agency born of fanatics...

Fans of sports (yes, even pickleball).

Fans of music (we sing in the shower).

Fans of data (we are proud nerds).

Fans of art (from exhibitions to film).

Fans of culture (this is huge).

Fans of culture (this is huge). And that means we put it all in for what we love, truly understanding what fans need, want, feel, hate and love about the brands and properties we lead.

We invest in our experiences as much as our clients. We are a community where you are free to be you, where good work gets rewarded, and you are truly energized by the team around you. It’s more than just ‘warm & fuzzies’ – happy humans are vital to our commercial success. And together, we make magic.

Our Values

Move as One: Global collaboration is the strategic ace up our sleeve. We don’t hesitate to look beyond our immediate team, office or country to seek un-tapped value within the MKTG network. As individuals we have expertise, together we make magic.
Inspire Change: We are agile in the way we work and in our approach to adversity. The blade of our expertise is never sharp enough –we continuously improve to stay leaps and bounds ahead of the pack. Change is our normal and we thrive on it. We embrace change within our walls and promote it outside them to inspire good.
Foster Community: When we think of MKTG we don’t see a logo, we don’t see an office... we see people. It’s our humans that make us more than a workplace. We are a community where you are free to be you, where good work gets rewarded, and you are truly energized by the team around you. It’s more than just ‘warm & fuzzies’ – happy humans are vital to our commercial success.
Pursue Excellence: We strive for best-in-class performance in everything we do, always seeking to improve.
Celebrate Bravery: We don’t like comfort zones – they’re bland. We yearn for the spice in a challenge. We nurture a culture of trust in our people. A trust in them to take brave, innovative risks - going against the grain is something we celebrate. We want to challenge the brief, ask the hard questions –all in the name of creating something great..
