I am excited to apply for the UK Head of Sports Marketing role that I came across on your website.

As a passionate fan of automotive and motorsport, and with over 15 years’ of experience building brands and leading marketing strategies across diverse sectors, I am confident in my ability to help shape and amplify your brand through a partnership approach that’s creative, commercial, and highly effective.

MY BACKGROUND

Throughout my career, I’ve led teams to deliver marketing strategies that are bold and data-driven, while staying true to the brand's voice and values. I specialise in fusing creativity, culture and commerce to build campaigns that resonate with both consumers and stakeholders.

I've built and led global brand partnerships at scale, most notably during the launch of O2, where I helped drive the brand from a new name in market to one of the most iconic sponsorship brands in Europe. From The O2 arena to NBA and a host of international music and sport properties, I developed and executed multi-market brand campaigns that combined cultural relevance with commercial impact. At Nissan, I led global activation around their 2026-30 concept cars, and more recently worked on high-impact brand strategy for NASCAR, bringing a mix of sport storytelling that feels closely aligned with the global energy of Formula 1.

Below you can see my latest campaign for Nissan Europe, which highlights my work delivering brand strategy and creative differentiation.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to the continued growth of your brand.

Regards,

Rich Philip
