WePlay, a leading Growth Marketing Partner, is excited to announce its
collaborations with the International Boxing Association (IBA) to spearhead the
rebranding of its Men’s and Women’s World Championships and resurgence of the
global governing body for boxing. The initiative aims to enhance the appeal and
commercial viability of boxing while strengthening the IBA’s brand recognition and
commercial value of its major events.
WePlay has developed a new brand strategy and a visually dynamic identity that will
resonate with boxing fans worldwide. With the support of WePlay, the IBA aims to
revitalise boxing cementing their position as the ultimate global sports entertainment
property for boxing fans.
“We are absolutely thrilled to collaborate with WePlay on this transformative project,”
said Elizaveta Bracht, Commercial & Marketing Director for the IBA. “This marks a
significant milestone in the IBA’s evolution into a premier global sports entertainment
property.”
“By collaborating with WePlay, we’re confident that the IBA will become the driving
force for a resurgence of the sport, creating a buzz that will capture the hearts and
minds of boxing fans worldwide,” added Bracht.
Luca Massaro, CEO of WePlay, added, “WePlay is excited to work closely with the
IBA to develop a fresh, dynamic brand strategy and visual identity. Our team is
committed to helping the IBA establish itself as the premier global sports
entertainment property for boxing fans everywhere.”
The IBA Women’s World Championships will take place in New Delhi, India next
month, with the Men’s World Championships following in Uzbekistan in May. The
brand identity developed by WePlay reinforces the IBA as “The Global Home of
Boxing” and reflects India’s growing reputation as a key destination for women’s
boxing.
The rebranding campaign will be launched in the coming days, coinciding with the
unveiling of the IBA’s new brand strategy and visually dynamic identity that was
launched last week. WePlay is excited to work closely with the IBA to develop a
fresh, dynamic brand strategy and visual identity that will appeal to boxing fans
