James Campbell, Co-founder, 50 Sport, said:

"Darts is one of the most exciting growth stories in global sport right now. What makes this opportunity particularly compelling is that Target already sits at the heart of so many parts of the ecosystem, from elite performance and equipment innovation through to grassroots participation and digital experiences. Our role is to help connect those pieces together through a clear strategic vision and a creative platform that gives people more reasons to play, compete and belong."

 

The appointment further strengthens 50 Sport's position as a strategic and creative partner to ambitious rights holders, brands and sports properties looking to drive audience growth through connected fan experiences and modern storytelling.
