Marketing in sports is an area that, in addition to promotion as the most transparent set of activities in this area, also includes research, segmentation, positioning, then decisions about the product, price, distribution, employees, etc. The extent to which authors from this field have all the mentioned marketing potentials in their considerations depends primarily on understanding the breadth of the sports industry. This paper takes the position that the sports industry includes athletes and sports events, as well as the material sports industry, that is, manufacturers of equipment, clothing, and footwear, as well as providers of sports services. Another inaccuracy in defining the potential of marketing stems from the fact that the sports industry, expressed in this way, brings certain circumstances that produce peculiarities in the application of marketing in sports. In addition, a rapidly growing market such as sports, which is simultaneously stimulated by the rapid growth of information and communication technologies, i.e. social media, modifies existing marketing tools and processes, but also creates some new ones. The aim of the paper is to define the peculiarities in the application of marketing tools and processes in the sports industry. The scientific contribution is based on the views of different authors from the field of marketing in sports and related fields, as well as on the issue of the choice and application of marketing tools and processes. The analysis of available literature, i.e. secondary data sources, confirmed the basic research hypothesis that the application of marketing tools and processes implies certain specificities in relation to their application in other areas.

An increasing number of academic fields, including literature, history, sociology, anthropology, social policy, use biographical methods in their studies. These techniques can be labeled by various terms, including autobiography, autoethnography, personal history, oral history, and life story. Biographies help us identify trends as well as unique aspects of life. A key issue in biographical research is objectivity and how to balance the particular and the universal, the individual and the common. The biographical method in sport is an analytical approach used to uncover the history of athletes and their sports organizations and provides an in-depth look at the athlete's place in the world of sport, focusing in particular on the role their personal life and experiences played in their sporting achievements.

The goal is to point out the importance of social networks in the process of personal branding of athletes. A responsible personality marketing management enables athletes to continue their successful careers even after the end of their engagement in sport. Social networks have an increasingly important role in this because they are also a measure of the influence of athletes, which can be quantified by the number of followers on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Some athletes earn more from their sponsorship agreements and activities on social network sin which they promote a certain brand than from professional contracts and salaries in their clubs.

This paper shows the connection between social networks, famous athletes, marketing tools applied in personal branding and commercial effects on that basis. The basic assumption that the commercial effects of personal branding of athletes can be successfully realized in the environment of social networks is confirmed.

The paper analyzes the ethical aspects of guerrilla and ambush marketing in the time of the great crisis of the advertising industry and sponsorship agreements. Guerrilla marketing is a creative, imaginative, unexpected, unusual, aggressive, interactive, fun, cheap, inspiring, convincing, mobile and flexible way of achieving marketing goals. We can define ambush marketing as a tactic, which is contrary to the ethical principles of business, especially towards the competition in the form of other sponsors at a certain event. Unethicalness is highlighted in attempts to marginalize the activities of other sponsors who have acquired rights under a contract with the sponsoring entity.

The subject of this paper is the influence of cultural heritage on the attractiveness of a tourist destination. Countries, as bearers of the brand, have become aware that it is no longer enough to invest only in the development of individual tourist destinations, such as those related to maritime tourism, metropolises, ski resorts or spas. T o modern tourists, the whole country must be presented as a tourist destination, and cultural-historical tourism is imposed as the best option. This was influenced by the fact that with the development of society, there have been major changes in the habits, desires, but also the needs of tourists, who today want different types of vacation. The aim of this paper is to present the marketing potentials of the cultural and historical heritage of Serbia.

Medical or health tourism is not a new concept, although there is still no international consensus on a phenomenon that has been manifested for thousands of years. An even smaller difference is between medical and health tourism, with the tendency that it will not be in the future, that is, it is to be expected that these two areas of tourism will integrate into one. The paper focuses on the possibility of developing spa tourism in Serbia, because only a quarter of this natural wealth is used.

The power of brands is very high, so it is important to know how they work; how they are managed; how they are created and maintained; why some are successful, and others are not. However, branding is not just about function, presence or visibility; emotional connection with people is of paramount importance for a complete success. The Serbian Armed Forces are one of the oldest brand, which has huge social significance and impact. It is a brand that is firmly rooted in the minds of people, which, despite all the tragic events of the early 1990s, arouses positive emotions. The Serbian Army lost its identity back in 1918. Since the Union of Serbia and Montenegro was dissolved, the Serbian Armed Forces have been in quest for its identity, shattered image, elements of a new name, ideas, and structures. True and strong brands are long-lived. However, in case of their neglect, carelessness and lack of commitment, they need revitalization and rebranding.
