P&G’s Homer appointed Barclays sponsorship chief

Nathan Homer has left his role as global sports marketing and Olympics director at consumer goods giant P&G to take up the head of global sponsorship and partnerships role at financial services giant Barclays.

Homer first joined P&G in September 2000 and he played an integral role in the activation of P&G's TOP sponsorship at the 2012 London Olympics.

Matt Appleby, previously managing director of sponsorship at Barclays, left this year to launch sponsorship agency Y9 Consulting.

Barclays is believed to be unlikely to renew its £40-million-a-year (€50.9m/$65.3m) title sponsorship of football’s English Premier League, which ends after the 2015-16 season.
