Sport Media scores for Chelsea FC

The deal, which kicks off in July, comes on the back of the recently announced partnership to produce official books for the club.

Sport Media will manage a dedicated team of writers (based at Stamford Bridge and the club’s Cobham training facility), graphic artists and advertising sales staff. The team will report to Emma Wilkinson, Chelsea Football Club’s Head of Communications and Community Affairs.

Chelsea publish 12 monthly magazines (each issue is sent to over 45,000 members and season ticket holders, as well as being sold in leading retailers) and around 25 matchday programmes each year.

Mark Dickinson, Business Development Director, Sport Media said: "The opportunity to work closely with a top team like Chelsea over the next three years is one we approach with relish, and we can’t wait to get started. We have loads of great ideas."

Cas Knight, Managing Director of Chelsea Digital Media said "We are looking forward to working with Sport Media – their approach has been really professional and their enthusiasm is infectious."

Sport Media are an award-winning set-up with a track record for producing outstanding football programmes and magazines. Their national publishing list extends from Davis Cup programmes and an exclusive magazine for this year’s Ryder Cup to bookazines with the Daily Mirror.
