Cross marketing is a partnership between at least two companies that bundle their competencies or resources to tap into new potential in a market. It involves alliances across the value chain from companies like Nike & Apple, LG & Prada, YouTube & NBA, and Frito-Lay & PepsiCo. Cross marketing stretches from product bundling to sponsorships and is one of the biggest marketing styles used by companies partnering with others like James Bond with Omega and Aston Martin, and Adidas sponsoring Lionel Messi.
