With women now controlling 70 to 80 percent of all consumer purchases, marketers are ditching “pink it and shrink it” campaigns and instead developing advertisements that effectively appeal to women.

In a recently published infographic, MBA@UNC shows how nine official sponsors of the MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL have pivoted their marketing campaigns to target women. These companies understand that female fans represent a serious revenue stream, and as a result are taking action.
