Bulova has signed a two-year sponsorship with the Sydney Swans and becomes watch partner to its AFL and AFLW programs.

The deal was brokered by new agency, Tailored Sports. Its focus will be content-driven engagement and Bulova has already featured in the club’s two-kilometre time trial coverage.

Founded by Cameron Nichol last November, Tailored Sports made a full assessment of opportunities in the market for its client.

He said the Swans' strong brand, large fan base, extensive digital reach and data-driven approach pointed Bulova towards the deal.

“The Swans and Tailored Sport negotiated a compelling partnership and the process was straightforward and positive. Both parties saw a strong alignment in values and objectives,” he added.

“It was a great example of two parties working towards a mutually beneficial outcome. The Swans have a clear strategy and an engaged audience, which made them an obvious choice.”

Bulova has previously backed Tennis Australia for the local tournaments leading up to the Australian, however its move into the AFL is part of a strategy to further boost brand awareness in Australia.

“This partnership brings together precision and innovation as we strive to enhance the experience for Sydney Swans players, staff, and fans,” said Jae Lee, Bulova’s marketing & product manager.

Nichol also noted that, “Content drives consumer engagement. There will be no brash branding – just subtle, bespoke activations throughout the season.”

“We’re working closely with the Swans on content that highlights the brand’s core values in a way that resonates with fans. The two-kilometre time trial was just the start.”

He said that Bulova’s decision “was heavily influenced by the club’s fan engagement and performance metrics.”

“The Swans have some of the strongest digital engagement numbers in NSW and are highly competitive within the AFL.

“When we looked at audience demographics, content performance, and the overall return on investment, it was clear that this was the right move for Bulova.”

The deal is for two years.

Agency plans

Since launching, Tailored Sports has already advised multiple brands.

“We’re seeing a shift in how sponsorships are approached. Brands want flexibility and strategic insight,” Nichol said.

“I’ve been in this industry for years, and [Tailored Sports is] not reinventing the wheel – but we are refining it. We make sure brands get the most out of their investments.”
