Sports Organisations
Let them shout for their team, not at your service
Sports fans care about two things
...winning and the best possible viewing experience. Make no mistake, your performance is as important as the athletes on the field. Passions run high: if the live signal is interrupted during a penalty shoot out, it’s your brand name that fills the air. SES ensures that the only thing viewers are shouting about is winning.
Deliver more content with less complexity
There is more sport available than ever, and more ways to watch it. Rights holders are covering more games, and fans are thirsty for 24/7 live coverage, highlights and clippings. Not just on television, but phones and tablets too. Throw in demand for UHD 4K and low latency, and your job just got a lot more complex. Our dedicated sports team has everything you need to help.
Push Your Brand Even Harder
The live event is just the start
Between big events, fans seek as much news as possible on their favourite athletes and teams. They watch highlights on their phone, stream documentaries on their favourite stars, watch past games, and share clips of that race finish on social media. Our dedicated sports centre provides the expertise to help you deliver all this and take your brand to the widest global audience.
Launch a branded TV channel
There’s a wealth of content that sits outside the rights deal: pre-event build-up, player interviews, and archive footage. SES enables you to launch and easily manage your own branded TV channel for the duration of your event or as a permanent fixture.
Expand to social media
Repurpose live content with highlights clips to deliver to platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Or launch your own-branded online platform as a hub for your fans.

Does remote production give you the jitters?
Sports production is changing. On-site teams and costly OB trucks are out and centralised production hubs are in. This is better for workers and more operationally efficient, but change can be daunting. Our sports media team will help you with everything you need to transition to remote working, from expert technical advice to access to our high-bandwidth, low latency and jitter-free signals.
