Let's talk Marketplace 42: Which marketplaces do you need... in the sports industry?

Shownotes

Quiz question: Which question do Ingrid and Valerie hear most often from the industry? Answer: "Which marketplace is the right one for me?" Of course, Let's Talk Marketplace listeners have long known that this question is anything but easy to answer and certainly not without an Ekda alarm. But to at least get closer to the truth, Valerie has developed her marketplace quadrants - yes, those graphics she regularly uses to tear down LinkedIn with. Today she has brought the latest version of the sports quadrant to the table. The update was necessary because the marketplace world in the sports sector is very volatile. Giants such as Amazon, Zalando and Decathlon dominate the field, but newcomers such as Colizey, Stadium, Pro Direct, JD Sports, Sprinter and Intersport are positioning themselves in the second row. And with the sell-off of Signa Retail, which primarily affects the company's sports holdings, the cards in the sports industry are being reshuffled once again. The graphic of the current sports quadrant is available here.
