The Royals, sometimes considered as the "moneyball" team of the IPL, because they have a reputation of unearthing obscure, high potential talent, have a real focus on evolving into a global brand, leveraging technology in their sponsorships, and building partnerships through education and academies.   Joining us on the show, to take us inside the Rajasthan Royals’ commercial program, is their COO, Jake Lush McCrum.   You can learn more about the Rajasthan Royals at [rajasthanroyals.com](https://blog.koresoftware.com/podcast/rajasthanroyals.com)as well as connect with Jake on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakelushmccrum/?originalSubdomain=uk).   Also joining us, to discuss KORE’s latest sponsorship focused blog, which looks at some of the global sponsorship trends happening right now, is a team effort of Daniel Collier-Hill, KORE’s Commercial Director – APAC, Derek Stanek, KORE Software's VP, Sales, and also Alex Hay, KORE Software's VP Commercial & Strategy.   Enjoy and don't forget to subscribe on your favorite podcasting platform!       [![listen-on-applepodcasts-black-3](https://blog.koresoftware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/listen-on-applepodcasts-black-3.jpg?width=269&name=listen-on-applepodcasts-black-3.jpg)](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-sponsorship/id1084325972?mt=2)     [![google-podcast-button-3](https://blog.koresoftware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/google-podcast-button-3.jpg?width=269&name=google-podcast-button-3.jpg)](https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub21ueWNvbnRlbnQuY29tL2QvcGxheWxpc3QvNDcxNzgwMGQtYzk3MS00NjJjLTk2MDMtYTZiMjAwYTg0MjFlLzM1NDQ5NTk3LWExOTgtNGM5NC1iY2RhLWE2YjIwMTc0NjAwZi9lZDgzODNmNy1mMjZiLTQzODMtYWRlYy1hNmIyMDE3NDYwMTgvcG9kY2FzdC5yc3M%3D)   [![Listen-at-Spotify-Button](https://blog.koresoftware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Listen-at-Spotify-Button.png?width=267&name=Listen-at-Spotify-Button.png)](https://open.spotify.com/show/0j7IGQC2Pff0HqjfeiCQTC)     [![Listen-at-Stitcher-Button](https://blog.koresoftware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Listen-at-Stitcher-Button.png?width=267&name=Listen-at-Stitcher-Button.png)](https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/sponserve/inside-sponsorship)   [0 Comments](https://blog.koresoftware.com/podcast/inside-rajasthan-royals-jake-lush-mccrum#comments-listing) [EP 84 -
