The Plastic Playground competitions are the only wakeboarding events to attract the very best wakeboarders from around world to every contest. News stories, photos and videos from Plastic Playground events are shared globally to an audience of over 7.6 million people.

The Audience

One of the clearest advantages of sponsoring a Plastic Playground event is the ability for your company to reach a broad global audience – something that is becoming more difficult in an increasingly fragmented media landscape. Wakeboarding, and in particular cable wakeboarding, has always appealed to a wide range of demographics. The social nature of the sport creates an interesting mix of aspiring like-minded people. This audience will be reflected in the travelling and online spectators, who are typically a mix of different age groups and professions.

On-Site Event Opportunities

There are opportunities both small and large at Plastic Playground events for brands to display and interact directly with both the audience and competitors. From running a trade stand to promote your brand or gain direct sales, to displaying branding in prominent locations, so it is captured in photos/videos and shared across social media platforms. These are just some of the off the shelf opportunities available when partnering with the Plastic Playground World Series.

For those brands who look to increase their activities beyond the above, the Plastic Playground team will work with them to create a bespoke package. Previously, these have included product giveaways, branded areas and other interactive experiences for the audience and competitors at the events.
