HISTORY

Founded in 2000 by CEO and Founder Vince Thompson, MELT has become one of the country’s leading sports and entertainment marketing firms.

MELT has represented The Coca-Cola Company since 2000, managing their sponsorship of ESPN College GameDay and the activation of 14 consecutive Final Fours.

MELT has produced hundreds of live event experiences as well as broadcast and digital television content at top levels including The Super Bowl, Chick-fil-A Bowl, SEC Championship, College World Series, and Hangout Music Festival. MELT also streamed the first ever live Facebook concert in 2010 and our productions have been seen on CBS, TBS, TNT, TrueTV, ESPN, VH1, CMT, Palladia and many others.

We’ve also worked with A-List celebrities including Lebron James, engaging DC Comics to turn Lebron into a super hero – “King James,” and helped Fergie with the release of her Avon fragrance. We’ve integrated incredible talent such as American Idol star Ryan Seacrest, Demarcus Ware of the Denver Broncos, Eddie Lacy of the Green Bay Packers, and tennis legend Jimmy Connors into branded content and sponsorship opportunities.
