The Art of Storytelling in Sports Marketing

For Sports Brands Ready to Craft Stories Fans Actually Feel

By Dazzler | Rocket Yard Sports

This isn’t a book about generic marketing — it’s a playbook for building sports narratives that cut through, spark emotion, and turn attention into loyalty.

Inside, you’ll learn how to uncover your brand’s true story, use simple storytelling structures that stick, stay authentic in a space that smells “fake” instantly, and adapt your message across platforms (social, video, websites, live experiences) without losing the plot.
