Solheim Cup appoint Sportsbeat as social media and digital content agency

Sportsbeat has been appointed to manage digital content, social media and news syndication for the Solheim Cup in Gleneagles.

The agency – who include The Open among their clients –  will work alongside organisers and stakeholders to produce compelling content for official channels.

The Solheim Cup is a biennial tournament contested by teams of 12 women players representing Europe and the United States. This will be the third time the event, which will be staged on The PGA Centenary Course, has been held in Scotland.

“The Solheim Cup is one of the great showpiece events in world sport and we’re delighted to have been appointed to tell the story of what promises to be a fantastic showdown between the best golfers in Europe and the USA,” said Sportsbeat’s editor-in-chief David Parsons.

“We’re really excited about the content ideas we are putting together ahead of September’s matches.”

The Solheim Cup is the latest major sports event hosted in the UK in 2019 to engage Sportsbeat’s content services.

Sportsbeat is the host news service for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup and will provide digital and social media content for the organisers of the 2019 Vitality Netball World Cup in Liverpool. 

The agency has recently appointed to manage social and digital strategy for the European Short Course Swimming Championships in Glasgow later this year and the 2020 Men’s World Curling Championships.
