Sponsorship

I began working in sponsorship marketing in the 1990’s when big checks were often written for logo placement and a few comp tickets. Over last 2+ decades, I’ve been a part of the industry’s evolution into what is now often referred to as “the fastest growing form of marketing”. With new outreach opportunities with web and social media, and the growing need to reach consumers in more meaningful ways, sponsorship marketing has evolved into important tool for companies to enhance credibility, image, and prestige by sponsoring events that attract their target market.
