Never seen a company put out a press release about a "major sponsorship deal," but refuse to name the team the deal is with! odd. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/sunpeaks-ventures-inks-sponsorship-and-marketing-agreement-with-major-sports-team-clotamin-to-be-sold-at-walgreens-locations-throughout-oregon-and-southern-washington-2012-04-06

Excited for meetings today ! Lots going on.

Glad to see Soap Box Derby back on solid footing! Per Akron ABC affil, ~ $500K deal.

Congrats to LaTrisha Reid for winning SponsorPitch's monthly SPoints contest for the month of February and winning a professional membership for the rest of 2012. If you missed out in Feb., we'll be doing it again in March so get a leg up by adding new brands, commenting on blog posts, sharing SponsorPitch with your colleagues, etc.

Who knew Sierra Club had a sponsorship budget?

Nike now has one foot firmly implanted in tech.. so to speak. Great example for how/why brands should integrate technology. Not because it's flavor of the month or their competitors are doing it... because it actually, you know, makes life better.

Best/worst feature on the Property Index? What do you think? Please DM me your thoughts.

Media Co in court filing says legally impermissible and practically impossible for Kodak to get out of 20 yr Kodak Theatre sponsorship agreement before the Oscars on the 26th.

Excited today to be introducing a lot of new things, including the ability to make status updates so you can let everyone else in the network that is following you know about what you're up to! We hope this also will encourage you to follow more of your colleagues, contacts, etc. and have them follow you back on SponsorPitch.

Looking for a PR firm that has a focus in sports & entertainment, and strong relationships with marketing/tech trades.
