Over the past fifteen years, agency principal Kevin Bartram has led and supported the development of a wide variety of partnerships involving dozens of organizations and companies. His clients have included numerous Fortune 100 companies, major government agencies, non-profits, think tanks and start-ups.

Our projects have included naming rights for major stadiums and arenas, benefit concerts, social cause sponsorships, municipal marketing, community relations strategies, on-line programming and the creation of new events and integrated marketing programs for corporate clients.

Our services include corporate and property consulting, program development, partnership negotiation and training. We are effective in working with all levels of staff and leadership, whether consulting executives, conducting sales training or teaching sponsorship fundamentals to managers.

Our Sponsorship Products have been designed to assist properties of all types in the creation of sponsorship programs and new relationships. We seek to serve society through the dissemination of our expertise and will teach and empower properties to become self-reliant through our unique set of partnership principles and systems. We currently offer Sponsorship 101 & Sponsorship 201

We always infuse our work with spirit, passion, intelligence and integrity. We exist to serve and to further our clients' agendas through the facilitation of socially positive strategic partnerships.

Terminology Note: Though 'sponsorship' is in our name and is our legacy, we use the terms 'strategic alliance' or 'partnership' as they reflect a more expansive approach. Developed correctly, effective sponsorship-based relationships are truly partnerships.
