Husqvarna, a world leader in robotic lawnmowers and part of the Husqvarna Group, has entered into a partnership multi-year agreement to the Title partner of the British Masters– a valued tournament with a rich golf history.
The 2026 Husqvarna British Masters takes place at The Belfry, specifically on the renowned Brabazon Course in England.
In addition, Husqvarna will be the official robotic mower partner of the DP World Tour, contributing to the advancement and improvement of the golfing experience.
Husqvarna’s new role as title partner of the British Masters 2026 and official marketing partner of the DP World Tour provides a robust platform to increase brand equity, drive product consideration and accelerate commercial results.
This potential can be fully realized by the strategic and holistic activation of the sponsorship.
I have collected a selection of them remarkable brand activation techniques from 2025 that are truly inspiring and worth considering or even pursuing:
Live, participatory experiences
Brands that develop distinctive physical experiences during sporting events significantly outperform traditional static exposure models.
2 examples:
- Drivable LEGO F1 cars at the Miami GP, delivering a playful and socially friendly spectacle that encouraged organic shareability.
- ARCO “Perfect Pump Challenge” at Sacramento Kings games, where fans participate in live match moments linked to brand messages.
These concepts are effective because they promotes multi-sensory interactions That transcend mere logosturning observers into active participants.
This approach not only increases engagement, but also extends the duration of attention and facilitates content generation.
Combine physical presence with digital engagement
Integrations that applications, gamification and interactive technologiesincluded artificial intelligencedrive higher engagement and measurable behavioral metrics.
It is essential to record and establish data extensive involvement processes beyond the duration of the event. Gamification promotes repeated interactions and extends the duration of brand engagement.
Good examples:
- IBM + Wimbledon’s AI “Match Insights”where fans could predict outcomes and interact with data content through gamified digital experiences.
- OKX x Manchester City’s virtual escape room and NFT engagementscombining sports fandom with digital culture.
Targeted activations with social impact
Activations that embody social responsibility or community support have and have received significant public acclaim led to long-term involvement that goes beyond simple impressions.
A growing segment of consumers is responding positively to it brands that actively demonstrate tangible benefits for both society and the environment.
A good example is
- The Culligan + Chicago Bulls sustainability initiative eliminate single-use plasticsbind brand purpose to meaningful impact on fans.
Exclusive, high-touch experiences for key stakeholders
Premium activations that extend beyond traditional fan zones offering VIP hospitality, curated experiences and exclusive access have proven effective in helping sponsors translate brand awareness into tangible commercial results, such as
- loyalty of partners,
- dealer relations, and
- network expansion.
The combination of hospitality and personalization promotes a deeper emotional bond, increasing the sustainability of business relationships.
A good example is Mercedes-Benz’s concierge service at the US Openthat offered luxury services and meet-and-greets.
Measurement and visibility analysis
Emerging tools and analytics designed to quantify sponsor visibility, such as broadcast logo visibility and engagement metrics, are increasingly becoming a standard practice for validating spend and refining activation strategies.
A comprehensive set of statistics, including
- on-site involvement,
- broadcast exposure,
- social media marketing investment value (MIV), and
- Lead capture is essential for demonstrating value to stakeholders and optimizing future investments.
