GroupM, the media buying arm of advertising giant WPP, is planning to double its annual investment in women’s sports and create a dedicated marketplace to facilitate deals.
The company said the initiative will begin in the 2024-25 upfront, with an initial roster of advertisers including Adidas, Google, Ally and Unilever to be supplemented with more brands coming in down the line. Women’s sports are projected to generate more than $1 billion in revenue in 2024, according to an estimate from consulting firm Deloitte. While growth has come in several sports, basketball has been particularly strong, with rising ratings for NCAA tournament games and the WNBA.
“Our industry has seen the incredible impact of investing in women’s sports over the last several years, but even with continued momentum, women’s sports investments only comprise a mere fraction of total media spend in sports,” said Matt Sweeney, Chief Investment Officer, GroupM US. “Starting with this year’s upfront negotiations, our team will procure elevated opportunities that are a win-win for our advertisers. GroupM advertisers have challenged the marketplace to flip the script on how to invest in women’s sports, and they will continue to play a pivotal role moving forward.”
Opportunities eyed by GroupM range from broadcast sponsorships and bespoke packages to grassroots investments with leagues and athlete-owned entertainment companies.
“With heightened demand for women’s sports, and a responsibility to enhance the women’s sports marketplace, our team is committed to delivering our advertisers with bespoke and bountiful opportunities that will drive brand impact, increase ad effectiveness and optimize business outcomes,” said Denise Ocasio, Executive Director

Sasquatch Sunset directors Nathan and David Zellner (Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter) always wondered what these hairy giants do when they’re not walking – the only Bigfoot footage available has been a minute of a supposed Sasquatch wandering in the northern California woods. They decided to flesh that out in unique dialogue-free comedic imagining of the creatures’ daily life – eating, fighting, etc. Stars Jesse Eisenberg, Riley Keough, Christophe Zajac-Denek and Nathan Zellner are unrecognizable as the hairy tribe of four that entranced Sundance (see Deadline review). Bleecker Street is opening the film, written by David Zellner, executive produced by Ari Aster, in 9 theaters in New York, LA, San Francisco and Austin, ahead of a big jump to about 800 screens next week.
