Insightx Unveiled As Sport Industry Awards Partner

Sport Industry Group has today announced that InsightX, an independent due diligence, reaction and sentiment analysis agency, has signed as an Official Partner of the Sport Industry Awards. 

Founded in 2020, London-based InsightX is in an intelligence agency with a difference. Working with a global team of researchers and investigative journalists, it provides the world of elite sport with clear, actionable intelligence on their partnerships, athletes, investors and suppliers and in doing so supports their clients in protecting their organisations and associated sports from reputational harm.

As part of the agreement, InsightX will partner with the Integrity & Impact category, in part a tribute to the award-winning sports journalist Simon Greenberg. Simon, who passed away in late 2021, invented and refined the model under which InsightX operates – producing intelligence of the very highest quality enhanced by investigative journalism.

“It’s an honour to have been asked to sponsor the Integrity and Impact Award at this year’s ceremony,” said Sophie Elsworthy, Chief Executive Officer of InsightX, “This award was so close to Simon’s heart, and it feels fitting that we are able to pay tribute to him and his legacy in this way.

“Sport is about more than just performance, it has the power to bring people together, inspire future generations and give us purpose. At InsightX we feel a responsibility to support the industry in maintaining transparency and integrity in the way that they operate to ensure that the essence of sport is not lost.”

Since 2018 the Integrity and Impact Award has recognised the individuals or organisations across the globe that have demonstrated through their actions exemplary levels of ethics, integrity, and trust in sport to help set global standards for best practice in sport governance and business.

In 2021, the Award was given to Marcus Rashford, for the remarkable work he has done – both on and off the pitch – in fighting for those less fortunate, less represented, and less heard in our society.

Dylan Pugh, Managing Director of Sport Industry Group, added, “We’re delighted to welcome InsightX to the Sport Industry Group network, both as a partner of the Sport Industry Awards and as the sponsor of such prestigious category.”

To celebrate the announcement, Sport Industry Group and InsightX are inviting members of the public to put forward nominations for this Integrity & Impact Award. Click HERE to submit your nomination.   

The Sport Industry Awards 2022 will take place 12th May at Evolution London.
