PUMA TO PARTNER WITH EUROSPORT AND SPONSOR ITS BROADCAST COVERAGE OF PARIS 2024
This summer, Eurosport will support PUMA’s worldwide brand campaign – “FOREVER. FASTER. – See The Game Like We Do”, aimed at strengthening the brand’s position in the field of sports performance. This partnership includes a pan-European campaign on Eurosport’s linear channels, Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2 during its coverage of Paris 2024.
The partnership with Eurosport will be live throughout PUMA’s third chapter of this campaign, focused on football, athletics, and basketball, which will be broadcast on Eurosport’s channels and platforms during Games-time. The collaboration was led by PUMA Global Media Team together with Havas International Spain to reinforce the brand’s positioning in the sports sector.
“As it’s our biggest marketing media investment in a decade, it was crucial for us to find the right partners, channels, and platforms that can help us to elevate PUMA’s brand and enhance reach. We’re extremely certain that this collaboration will play a pivotal role in our brand campaign’s distribution and make a stronger bond with the consumer”, said Fabio Kadow, Director Global Media of PUMA.
Irma Lavall Torrents, Global Client Lead at Havas Media International Spain, explained: “Eurosport is one of the best partners we could count with within PUMA´s media strategy. Given its relevancy in the world of sports and the unique momentum we will live during the Olympic Games, it is the perfect synergy to amplify this new chapter from PUMA”
Mike Rich, Group SVP Ad-Sales and Brand Partnerships, UK & Ireland and International, at Warner Bros. Discovery, said: “To have a brand with the standing of PUMA want to associate themselves with our coverage of Paris 2024 is a huge testament to our reputation as leaders in our field. We are thrilled to welcome PUMA on board as a presenting partner and look forward to help elevate their new campaign, amplifying it to new audiences across Europe.”

WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY BRINGS THE LOONEY TUNES TO THE OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES WITH LIVE MOMENTS, NEW COLLABORATIONS, PRODUCTS, AND ORIGINAL CONTENT
As the world turns its attention to the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is once again bringing the Looney Tunes to the Olympic stage and kicking off the Games with a presence that spans live moments, product collections, collaborations, and original content. For nearly a century, sports have been woven into the very DNA of the Looney Tunes. From Bugs Bunny outsmarting foes on the basketball court to Wile E. Coyote engineering contraptions worthy of a high intensity training regimen, the characters have long used athletic moments as a backdrop for their signature humor and physical comedy. That legacy reached new heights with Space Jam, which cemented the Looney Tunes as cultural fixtures in the world of sports and continued in 2024 with the Olympic licensing collections that celebrated the characters and the Olympic values on a global stage. Their presence in 2026 is a continued evolution— combined with the Olympic Rings as well as messages promoting the power of sport to unite people and inspire new generations. Live Moments & On-Site Activations In Milan, the Looney Tunes will appear in fun, irreverent ways unique to the brand. Two major live moments anchor their presence: a hyper visual installation that playfully connects fans to the Olympic streaming experience on HBO Max, and the Official Olympic Pin Trading Center, redesigned with a Looney Tunes look and feel through a licensing collaboration between Warner Bros. Discovery, Honav USA, and the IOC. The center will be open February 6–22 at Via Carlo de Cristoforis 1. Strategic Collaborations Strategic collaborations will also play a major role in the Looney Tunes cultural presence throughout the Games. Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) will unveil a surprise Looney Tunes–inspired collaboration with Burton, the world’s leading snowboarding brand, with details to be revealed in early February. In addition, United Colors of Benetton, together with WBDGCP and the IOC, has launched an exclusive kids’ Olympic Collection capsule that merges the Looney Tunes spirit, Olympic values, and Benetton’s multicolored identity Broadcast & Streaming Integration The Looney Tunes Winter Olympics Games presence will also extend into broadcast and streaming through Eurosport and TNT Sports*, whose Olympics coverage will be available across WBD’s platforms in mainland Europe and the UK & Ireland, including HBO Max, as the service launches in Italy.

Airing across linear and digital platforms, the Watch Party adds a playful, family friendly layer to the Olympic experience.
