thomar Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Infidelity Stories May Hit Beckham's Endorsements1 hour, 41 minutes ago Add Sports - Reuters to My Yahoo! By Trevor Datson LONDON (Reuters) - When England soccer captain David Beckham joined the Spanish team Real Madrid in June last year, he was signed as much for his marketing potential as for his athletic skills. Reuters Photo But as the media hype surrounding the state of Beckham's marriage to pop star wife Victoria reaches fever pitch, the board at the Bernabeu might be wondering whether their 35 million euro ($43 million) investment was a wise one. "This is potentially damaging to the Beckham brand," said John Allert of branding experts Interbrand. "A large percentage of his earnings are derived in the Far East and North America, where such alleged indiscretions are viewed far more seriously. People like him need to remember it's the public that build their brands, and it's the same public that can easily kill them off by voting with their feet." Beckham, whose brand value was recently estimated at more than $370 million, has a string of global endorsements to his name, including PepsiCo, Vodafone, Marks & Spencer, Siemens and Adidas. These image rights have helped him earn a personal fortune in excess of 50 million pounds. But as tabloids across Europe burrow into allegations of an extramarital affair between Beckham and his former personal assistant, Rebecca Loos, the gifted midfielder's value as an icon of sport, fashion and family values has been called into question. Despite repeated denials from both of the Beckhams and a public display of family unity on a skiing holiday in France, the couple looked unlikely to stem the flood of media coverage surrounding the affair allegations. BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM? A spokeswoman for 19 Management, the Beckhams' commercial agents, said the stories "should have no effect of any relevance" on ongoing or future sponsorship deals. And one source close to the matter said none of the corporate backers had made any contact with the Beckhams or their representatives regarding the alleged affair. This was certainly the official line from the sponsors. Adidas-Salomon, which recently extended its contract with Beckham until 2008, and has launched a personal logo for the Real Madrid star inspired by his famous free kicks, declined comment on the potential brand impact of the allegations. "David will of course continue to wear Adidas boots as per the terms of his contract with our company," spokeswoman Anna Putz said, without specifying how much the contract is worth. Vodafone, which once described Beckham as a "lifestyle icon," said the allegations were a "personal matter," and refused to say whether his two-year television advertising deal would be renewed. "It's for David Beckham to deal with and respond to, and nothing really to do with us. We would just be adding to the speculation if we made any comment," a spokeswoman said. Beckham endorses and "has some design input into" the DB07 range of children's wear sold at Marks & Spencer, the British high-street fashion and household goods retailer. A spokeswoman for M&S said the DB07 range, which hit the stores in September 2002, was selling well and that "anything else he does is none of our business." "We're very happy with the contract we've got," she said, but wouldn't comment on the value of the deal, which has about a year to run, or whether it would be renewed. BOUNCING BECKHAM Interbrand's Allerton said the real issue for the strength of the Beckham brand was not whether the soccer star had or had not committed an indiscretion, but how the fallout was handled. "Whatever the truth, so long as the response is seen as honest, transparent and dignified then the Beckham brand should be able to bounce," he said. "If we look to other celebrity brands like George Michael or even (Australian cricket player) Shane Warne, a crisis well-handled can result in undiminished brand health, but conversely a crisis handled like (Argentine soccer star) Maradona's drug allegations can spin a brand off into a financial black hole." But for some, perhaps, there is no such thing as bad publicity. Publishers Harper Collins, which will later this year publish an updated paperback version of Beckham's autobiography "My Side," will surely benefit whatever the outcome. The company declined comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
