Digital marketing company Smarter Media has joined a group of businesses backing Swindon Town FC following Clem Morfuni's summer takeover.

The business based in Gypsy Lane has entered into a sponsorship deal with the club which will see its brand being shown at home games – and team members and clients will be able to attend matches as guests.

Managing director Emma Carter said: “Over the last few months, we’ve watched developments at Swindon Town Football Club full of hope. 

“Many of our team members were born and brought up in Swindon and the club has been a huge part of their lives. 

“Having seen it go through some rough times of late, we believe it is only right that businesses like us help it to regain its pivotal role in the community. 

“We’re massively impressed with the changes so far and are thrilled to support the club as part of its recovery for both the sport and business landscape.”

Operations director Rob Curtis is a committed Swindon Town fan and, like many others, has been excited by the announcements from new chairman Mr Morfuni and CEO Rob Angus to put the club at the heart of Swindon, aiming for more success on the field and more engagement off the field.

Mr Curtis said: “A football club like Swindon Town has a rich history within the football leagues, developing players who have gone on to have terrific careers, but to us fans, it’s about even more than that.

“Over the last few years that connection with the community was lost. As a previous season ticket holder, I am so pleased to see a commitment to change, to growth and to success and I am proud to be part of the next phase of the club.”

Mr Angus said: “It’s great to see Smarter Media join many other local businesses and sponsor Swindon Town Football Club. 

“To be associated with a fast-growing digital media agency is great for our club and I am sure working together we can continue to connect and engage with our local community which is so important to the future of STFC and to our communities.”
