Music shows such as the U2 Zoo tour, the Hurricane music festival in Germany, the Frankfurt book fair and major trade fairs or international summits, for example the global health conference, are all global marketing events that take months to plan and market. Global sporting events such as the Olympics and the World Cup Football are marketed to both companies and fans.
Event marketing is big business, as evidenced by the estimated loss of £2 billion to the British economy when the England team failed to qualify for Euro 2008. The 2006 Football World Cup was one of the most watched events in television history, with over 26 billion viewers over the course of the tournament. The final attracted an estimated audience of 715.1 million people who watched Italy claim their fourth World Cup title.
