ACROBAT FCSM is a leading consultancy concentrating on strategic marketing, sponsorship and fundraising. It evolved through the natural merger of ACROBAT Consulting & Marketing LTD and FC Sports Marketing LTD. Its’ specialisms are sports and leisure with many activities in the markets of United Kingdom, Turkey and Romania. Our Founder was the Chair to the Chartered Institute of Marketing’s specialist consultants group for these sectors.

We are an award winning consultancy including the prestigious, Winner of the CIM’s SWOT Award for marketing excellence for support to a client. Since 1995, we have worked on funding schemes to in excess of £200M. This skillset evolved from having been one of the original Assessors appointed by the National Lottery and also Assessor with UKCES (on competitive funds open to employers to invest in current and future workforces). We are renown for our cost-effective retainers providing either a supplement or alternative to in-house resources.
Overseas we have worked on projects with a focus in the main around marketing, sponsorship and licensing including for some of the top brand names as defined in the Deloitte’s “Football Finance Report” and Brand Finance’s “Sporting Brands”.
We are proud to have ‘partnered’ with our clients, from global brands to micro-businesses. A few might be identifiable to you from these logos.










We are very much ‘hands-on’ in our approach with enthusiasm and dedication to take our clients’ aspirations forward. As further evidence, that we ‘practice what we preach’, we also own a portfolio of businesses.







We are a Guest Lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan (MMU) and Sheffield Hallam Universities; lead Associate Lecturer at MMU on “Sports Branding and Sponsorship”; formerly on the SMT at the Centre for Enterprise at MMU working on programmes that develop enterprise and entrepreneurship capability; and Founder to Sporting Genies and Town Crier Club.
We are a full-service agency and all Directors retain Chartered Marketer status with CIM. That means that there is no aspect of marketing that we can’t sensibly advise on. We have most skills within our Team and at times complement with reliable associates.
